Interestingly, though, ‘Pac-Man’ did actually receive more upvotes than ‘Galaga’ at number one, but it also got more downvotes, and so that is what placed ‘Pac-Man’ into a very solid second place. Perhaps most surprising is the fact that ‘Pac-Man’ isn’t number one, as it’s largely recognised worldwide as a staple of arcade gaming, and is certainly a game that every generation would recognise. Unsurprisingly, ‘Mario’ and ‘Donkey Kong’ feature in the top 10, while other cult classics like ‘Dig Dug’ and ‘Space Invaders’ also hold very respectable positions.

This game cost 6495 in 1975 dollars, which is equivalent to 28,241.61 today, according to.

The game also sported a 25 color monitor. ‘Pong’ at number 37 is, of course, one of the earliest video games ever created, so a little surprising to see it so high up on the list. Players had their own controls, even a horn. Clearly these brought back some fond memories for the readers.
