Kind of like Galaxian, when it was new everyone was so stoked about it, then the gameplay was totally eclipsed later on.

Wow! I love DK and still play it a couple times a week. I generally prefer shooters too, but I think DK has held up fine. Never liked Mario Bros, and don't play DK Jr. anymore. Something about Donkey Kong keeps me coming back, but it's not nostalgia.

Stingray:
I play DK often still. I also play many of the sequels and spin-offs regularly.

The '80s started January 1, 1980 despite contrary opinion. The author of this list compltely ignores the first half of the decade. I'm assuming that's because he was probably too young to remember it well.

SirPoonga:
It doesn't represent the 80s a whole, but as noted is represents the late 80s very well.

After reading the list on the weekend - I promptly started up final fight and played it to the end.  Lot's or credits and a sore wrist but I was happy with the result.  ;D

as is paige  ;) . there is plenty of stuff in the early 80's that is diferent to the late 70's. sure there is always a gradual changing of things as there is no reason things should suddenly change and thats certainly true of video games- they came out as they were developed. but you cant tell me 'ant music' sounds 70's...
