I'm compiling a list of popular classic arcade games from 1978 and later. I want games that were popular and successful. I don't want games that were unpopular, obscure, or unsuccessful. Here's my list of games I think might have been popular or not (keep in mind I was not alive when these games were popular so I don't really know.)
