Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of ChaosLegolas_Katarn

One of my favorite games of all-time. Such punishing gameplay, yet at the same time it was so good and addictive that I kept coming back for more punishment. And the music is fantastic.

just one, space invaders! Game caused coin shortage in Japan

I'll just copy your list seeing as we were born in the same year :P

The home videogame industry was born the year I was born. The Magavox Odyesee was released in 1972. As well as the first Pong and Telepong clones. The home videogame industry was born in 1972. So I am as old as the industry itself.

So no cool games just the birth of the industry.

I'm going by original releases, the US didn't see some of these until 88 or 89.

1976 the Telstar came out with pong based games hockey tennis and handball.

None. I'm too old.

None as there was no video game industry in 1965 that I know of.

Well, there's Pinball tables. And Space War was touring college computers from what I've read.

None. I'm too old.

Ditto. Breakout came out in the arcades but my birth pre-dates home consoles and most PC games. The 2600 came out the year after I was born.
