1. Galaga...without question, my all time favorite of all times. I love that game so much, I even bought the full size all original arcade one. Too bad I had to sell it, as it was way too bulky for the house, moved it to my backyard roofed deck, but still sold it to make room for my new gym...check out the little videos, it worked perfectly...great condition...I still miss not having it anymore...
