Tecmo Bowl, which apparently my kids now play Retro Bowl all the time on their phones/tablets.

I also liked Blades of Steel, Baseball Stars, and Contra (with the cheat code).

Played a lot of Blades of Steal growing up.

Techmo Bowl is in the Mt Rushmore.

No Space Invaders mention?  That and Centipede were it on a stick for about 5 years...along with Asteroids.

I loved Space Invaders and Asteroids but was never really good at either of them. 

It's hard to pick a favorite as I like many of the games mentioned, but if it came down to it, my go to is Tetris on the original Nintendo. There's days where I'll still play it for hours on end. 

I've been fascinated with it since I was a kid.

Backyard Sports franchise on the PC. Specifically Backyard baseball 2001.

Those old Atari 2600 games just hit different!

I had the trackball for the Atari 5200, I'd come home from school and there would be empty TAB bottles and full ashtrays sitting one the coffee table. My mom and her friend would be playing Centipede all day. Lol

Spent hours playing Breakout against friends, these games were much more fun that they appear that they would be.

Pitfall was the bomb!!! 

Excitebike on NES was great, spent more time designing tracks than actually racing...lol

This bad boy right here fresh from the mid 70's. This system did one thing and one thing only...Pong!

The toggle switches made the ball go fast or slow, made your paddles larger or smaller and set the number of players. You felt like you were arming a bomb setting it up.

This was the first video game in our neighborhood, my best friend's family had it. If it was raining, we were Ponging!!!
