 Its 1982, op. The Year Video Games Became. The year of Dig Dug, Gravitar, Mr. Do, Xevious, Ms Pac-Man AND Baby Pac-Man, Joust, Robotron. The year of Sokoban, Burger Time, Yars Revenge, Q*Bert, Donkey Kong Jr, Pitfall, Pengo, Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.0. The year of the Atari 2600 versions of Pac Man and ET. The year of the Commodore 64, and the founding of Llamasoft, Electronic Arts, Enix, and Compile. The year Koei released both the first known JRPG in The Dragon and Princess AND the first known eroges.

There is no year, more important or influential in the realm of video games, or possessing as many timeless masterworks of gaming, than 1982. thread closed.

Sokoban listed as a positive, clearly this poster is out of their mind and should be shamed into the night
Did you know that 1982 is the 100th anniversary of the creation of Tower of Hanoi?
