Video Game History

This week Google put a full version of Pacman on its home page in honor of Pacman’s 25th anniversary. I thought I would share some other key video game dates for you for fun:

1. Space Invaders – June 1978

2. Donkey Kong – 1981

3. Centipede – 1980

4. Mario Brothers – the game debuted in 1983 but Mario was the Jump Man in Donkey Kong 1981.

5. Asteroids – 1979

6. Bezerk – 1980

7. Elevator Action – 1983

8. Pong – 1972

The above list contains some of my all time favorites. What is your favorite and when was it released?
