I used to know kids that could help you with these old vintage video games. But today, they are all middle-aged grouches.

I got a hand held game which was similar to “Space Invaders” it actually may have been it but I am not sure. This was mid 80s and I found myself playing it until I was beginning to get mentally exhausted.
Anyway nearly 30 years later I found the old game in a box. I put two C cell batteries in it and was surprised that it still worked.
I gave it to my Grand children and did not think they would like it as it was pretty crude compared to what they have today. A few days later my Daughter told me that were hooked on it and played it so long that she had to take it away from them.
I thought it was funny that it still had that effect.

I beat a kid playing asteroids back in the early 80s at the local crossroads watering hole.
Won $75 which was serious coin back then.
The girl holding both of our cash prior to the bet took a liking to me.
But that’s a story for another day.

Wow, I don’t remember that one at all. But I have to say, those old vector games were cool — so fluid and smooth at a time when most games were a little clunky. The most advanced of the vector games was probably Star Wars but man would it suck down the quarters.

I took a course in programming in Fortran from a guy who invented Pong. Dang that was a long time ago.

I remember the game but not the name(s). I do recall seeing it in several arcades under at least two different names.

In one of the Marvel Avengers movies, some tech on a space ship is sneaking a game of Galaga on his screen and someone fingers him, maybe Iron Man.

Only tangentially related to this topic / question, but I highly recommend the book “Ready Player One” for anyone who grew up with or enjoyed 80’s style video games.
