I'm kind of surprised DoDonPachi wasn't on there. Also, Doom seemed really out of place.
-
nope sorry..that list is not up to snuff..
missing some MAJOR players

Honourable mentions: DoDonPachi, Giga Wing, Astro Blaster, Tac/Scan, Space Duel, Time Pilot, Smash TV, Flying Shark, Mars Matrix, Asteroids on the VIC-20 by Simon Munnery and loads more.

That list doesn't make much sense.
-
That list sucks. Galaga's only ranked 18. It's easily Top 5 and Galaxian is not nearly as good yet is ranked higher. And, I agree that Doom shouldn't be there in the list.
-
Galaga at 18! Some kind of joke?
Juno First is ranked way to low as is Phoenix.
-
Rez is awesome, but I am suprised it made number 5.
That's a really screwed up list.
-
No Gunstar heroes or Smash TV? Tsk Tsk Tsk

am i the only one here that prefers Galaxians over Galaga?
i can't remember ever seeing galaga in an arcade over here in the UK when I was a kid.
Galaxians was the first and still is king!
-
Raiden? Come on!
-
Yes, and no Toaplan/Taito goodness either. Slap Fight?
No Gunsmoke either...tsk tsk tsk.
They got two things right. #1 is Robotron, Robotron now, Robotron forever, no debating it. And they included Star Force, which is probably the most overlooked classic schmup of all time.
Moon Cresta? WTF?
-
Star Force rules baby.
-
No love for Space Dungeon, huh?
-
Since when is Rez considered "retro" ???
-
no raiden.. no aero fighters.. no gunbird... sigh..

Galaga far outshines Robotron. Galaga should probably be seated one. Robotron is no better than 4 or 5.

LOL, I bet you never played Robotron in an original cabinet. If you have, then you'd know why it should be #1. Galaga can't even compete when it comes to the adreniline rush you get playing Robotron. Unfortunally most people here only play the mame versions of these games. :'(
