My dad is making a classic arcade console with a raspberry pi, and I need suggestions for good 80's games.

Ideas?
What are the best 70's/80's games?

The good thing about the files he pulls up is that they should be named.

To me the greatest arcade games of the 1980s were:

 

Ms Pacman

Shinobi

Double Dragon

Galaga

Zaxxon

Golden Axe

Kung Fu Master

Contra

Donkey Kong Jr

Ghosts and Goblins

Pole Position

Frogger

Pacman

Qix

Out Run

Track and Field

Moon Patrol

Phoenix

Donkey Kong

Robocop

Karnov

Missile Command

Mario Brothers

Dig Dug

Defender

Gauntlet

Q-Bert

Punch Out

Paperboy

Gyruss

Shadow Dancer

 

 

For the 1970s the only games I really liked were Asteroids, Breakout, and Space Invaders. Well, Galaxian was really good too but its sequel Galaga was far superior in every way.

Dragon Ninja  (I think it was call bad dudes in USA)

 

And I was never able to make it work with my keyboard through the emulator, but there was a 3D arcade Starwars game that was Awesome back then:

Also the Original Street Fighter Arcade came out in 87.

Mystery is the source of all true science.
