: Oh definitely there are games that set the standards in the arcade industry. Even to this day most other games are simply remakes of these same formulas.

Sure - who knew that Dodonpachi would ever come as a distant descendant of Space Invaders? :-)

: My "classics" would be these:

: Maze Chase: Pacman
: Platform: Donkey Kong
: Driving: Pole Position
: Wrestling: Mat Mania
: Beat-em-up: Double Dragon
: Fighting: Street Fighter 2
: 1st person Shooter: Discs of Tron

Valid classics all, but I would argue that Discs of Tron is third-person and not first. :-) If you see the complete body of your character, then that's third-person...
