Most of my quarters in the 80s went into games developed or licensed by Midway Games. For some reason, I couldn't resist endlessly racing along and taking out enemies behind me with a well-timed smoke screen or oil slick or in front of me with machine guns and missiles -- all done to the soundtrack of the Peter Gunn theme song.

And then, when it looked like my luck might run out, the weapons van would show up. I was a 9-year-old James Bond if only until my parents finished grocery shopping. Sinistar Williams Electronics gave me anxiety like nothing else. Generally solid controls with the track ball although a bit of a learning curve if you weren't already initiated with arcade golf or something. Pretty chill I actually had to look this up to make sure I didn't make it up.

I remember going to my local arcade down the street and gravitating to Star Trek Sega immediately. It actually wasn't very popular so I could always play although I never felt like I got to play enough.

You played as the captain of the Enterprise traveling from sector to sector dispatching Klingons at will, all the while managing the ship's power, weapons, and shields. If you got in trouble you could warp out of it, but that would eat up your ship's power.

To replenish, you would need to find the nearest Starbase and dock with it. It was all wireframe graphics but I liked how it used a variation of the Spock voice when it said "Welcome aboard Captain" every time the game started. Obviously, looking back, it seems pretty archaic. But I would still play it now if it was in the arcade. If there are even still arcades out there and no Dave and Busters is not the same. I spent many hours peering through the periscope of a simulated tank, working the control levers and firing at enemies in Battlezone Atari, Inc.

The arcade was on my way home from high school, so that meant a daily stopover, and I was entranced by the green vector graphics and the infinite world. Amidst a flat landscape with mountains in the distance, all defined by electric green lines, enemy tanks appeared. I maneuvered so I could blast them out of the way in a battle that never relented. In the Journey Bally Midway arcade game, it's your mission to help band members Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Steve Smith, Jonathan Cain and Ross Valory in hilarious digitized versions of themselves find their missing musical instruments each on a different planet and then at the end play a rockin' concert for happy fans.

My favorite part of the game was during the concert you get to play Herbie the bouncer who has to prevent overly-enthusiastic audience members from rushing the stage. This is a great game if you need some stress in your life! The player commands a trio of anti-missile batteries to defend six cities from a rain of missiles. Some of these missiles splinter into multiple projectiles in mid-flight.

Lead developer Dave Feurer claimed to have had countless nightmares of cities ravaged by nuclear blasts while he worked on this title. Players must steer an armed spaceship through an asteroid belt.

But they must avoid crashing into enemies or debris while they shoot those threats. If players are reckless, they may be caught off-guard. And blasting large rocks leads to smaller fragments to worry about. This means that when the player moves the spaceship past one edge of the screen, the spaceship appears on the opposite side. This action platform title has players controlling Pitfall Harry as he jumps and swings on vines in order to avoid crocodiles, quicksand, scorpions, and other jungle hazards.

Pac-Man was by far the most popular of all the Atari games. Although Pac-Man was a best seller, many consumers complained that this version was inferior to the arcade original. In this game, the player charges through mazes lined with pellets, ghosts, and power pellets. But be careful. The player must avoid the ghosts while attempting to consume every pellet.

Luckily, there are power pellets that give Pac-Man the ability to eat ghosts for a limited time. Strategy comes into play when the power pellet is consumed. After a successful 13 years on the market, the Atari was officially discontinued in
