Even with all the new technology of today, there is something about video games of the 80's that everyone loves! My favorite video games from the 80's are: River Raid Super Mario Bros. Galaga Pac Man Q-Bert What are your favorites?

Beating Mario Bros. 3 in under half an hour makes me smile. :)

Mario & Mario 2 for Nintendo were amazing games.. especially Mario 2! I also am a big fan of Ghostbusters, Tecmo Bowl, PacMan. I never really played many Atari games, the only one i've played is pong, and it's suprisingly fun for how simple it is!

I liked Mike Tyson's Punchout. Still play that thing from time to time. With arcade games I liked Asteroids, Galaga, and Gorf. I'd say Defender, but I stunk at that game!

Yes, it's all about the old school games! I still think nothing beats Tetris, but I also love Super Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong. My favorite console will always be Super Nintendo (OK, technically that's from 1990, so not quite the 80s.. but close!).

Yes, that's cool. It is close enough to the 80's to count. I liked the Atari and original Nintendo...you remember having to blow in the original Nintendo games sometimes to get them to work? Lol...weird...seems so long ago!
