Day 1370: Winner 1981

10/10 just for Robotron: 2084. Ms. Pac-Man and Baby Pac-Man also help out.

Personal highlights:
ColecoVision
Electronic Arts and MicroProse formed
Baby Pac-Man -- if I was going to own one arcade game, this would be it
BurgerTime
Demon Attack -- bought it just for the boxart ( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/67/Demon_Attack_box_art.jpg ), and it turned out to be a pretty good game
Dig Dug
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial -- hey, I liked it
Ms. Pac-Man
Munchman -- a really good Pac-Man clone for TI-99/4A
Pitfall!
Pole Position
Q*bert
Robotron: 2084
Zaxxon -- first isometric game ever

Good games

IIRC from looking them up a while back, the next few years are pretty sparse for good games.
