PONG!  Now that's old-school. 
 
Ok, seriously...my all-time favorite is Centipede, but I'll play just about anything that comes with a joystick.

I can't remember the name of it, but there was another game from the Chip's Challenge era, polygonal aliens/ships/monsters would come up what looked like a tube (the entire game was colored lines on a black background), and you had to dodge and shoot, but only from around the edge of the tube... It was a really trippy-looking game, I wish I could remember what it was called. It was a lot of fun.

Yes, Chip's Challenge does have an end! Although I admit I looked up some cheats online to get through it, lol.

That's an Atari game, never played it but other half is quite fond of it and Gridrunner (I think), I'm not so much into the whole "shoot 'em up" games

Status: offline 		Adventure - the very first text-based game: can you say "xyzzy"?  Eventually got the source and was able to get to the end by a weird-ass move that I never would've thought of in a million years.  Well, maybe in a couple hundred thousand......  Glad I had source.  Nowadays, I guess that would NOT be a cheat - reading source code?

Tetris, of course.  Used to play in a particular gay bar in Denver.  Then the machines all changed to the table-top style.  Went to a different bar many years later, and there was good-old floor model Tetris - with my intials STILL on it. LOL!

Y'all know that Tetris is available here, right?

Wow.  Someone else remembers that Hitchhiker's Guide game.  I remember watching my brother get bulldozed in the house many a time before I told him how to escape.
