Playing the Pole Position coin-op with my dad is my earliest gaming memory, so I always have a soft spot for it.
Massive nostalgia for Star Wars as well. Sitting in the cab listening to the music brings memories rushing back!
I was born in 1978, so I’m a bit young for some of these at the time, but I’ve recently started to appreciate Galaga and Defender (despite the controls!)

I just remember being really rubbish at it.

I remember it feeling like VR when I sat in the cockpit. Such an amazing experience as a kid.

Mine;
1: Galaxian
2: Defender
3: Scramble
Galaxian is my best of all time so is no 1 in any list, Defender and Scramble took a lot of my 10p's as a kid.
Agree with samanosuke though, Asteroids should be on, it would then go second as it also comes second in my all time 10p scoffing machines after Galaxian.
Also surprised the original Space Invaders isn't on. Also really liked Sheriff but you didn't see many of them - think it was a Nintendo title, remember it being part of our local once a year fair and at the time shoved a load into it just because it wasn't so common where we were.

There are also a lot of games from that particular era that might have fans but weren't big hits. So I focused on games that lots of people would identify as being classics.
