No joke, one of my favorite games on the Super Nintendo is "Scooby-Doo Mystery". Is nostalgia? Hell yes. But it's a nice little adventure/puzzle game on its own!

In 1978, Midway brought Taito’s Space Invaders to America, which became a huge phenomenon and the first real breakthrough hit in Midway’s history.

Every once in a while, a single game comes along and rewrites the rules for an entire industry. In 1978, that game was Taito’s phenomenal arcade hit, Space Invaders—and Midway was the one who brought it to America. This game was a huge phenomenon, and it marked the first real breakthrough hit in Midway’s history. Suddenly, this Franklin Park company wasn’t just another arcade manufacturer.

What made Space Invaders so different from everything before it? For starters, it introduced something players had never really experienced: open-ended play. Up until that point, earlier arcade games relied on fixed timer clocks that kicked you off when time ran out. But with Space Invaders, as long as you had the skill to survive the marching alien grid, your quarter kept running!
