I guess one or two would probably exchangeable, because there were games that really defined the decade like: After Burner https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0315752/ I often played Pac-Land in Italy on Acard Machines: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0287621/ 1942 was a big deal for a long time, I still know: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0185835/ Thunder Blade: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2200132/ Frogger: https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt0294586/ Dig Dug: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0315489/ Bubble Bobble (was one of the biggest burner): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303799/ Bomb Jack was also a very big deal, I played it for a long time): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2268381/

I reduced the list to 10... Do you think some of these should replace others? If I make the list greater, I think the "competition" will fall, as I think most people will choose just in 3 to 5 options

I think After Burner was standing in the arcade game area for a few years and was often visited, Bubble Bobble was frequently visited,same for Bomb Jack. The best visited Arcade game in my Italy vacations was Pac-Land ... for years. It was difficult to get on it. There were always guys who played it for hours. But that's just my two pence. Anyway it's your list, Alberto. I understand your intention. Maybe it's good to pick the ten of them who had best ratings or best ratings and the highest ammount of ratings. The more ratings there are, the more people showed their interest afterwards. The lesser people rate, the lesser people have memories on it, I guess. Can be right or wrong, just a though on it. ;)

Maybe I wouldn't change the list, if it should stay at 10, because the games you listet are also very iconic. I remember Maikamura as "Ghosts 'N' Goblins", which also was a very strong hit on the maket. I just think that users who used the other games might miss the one or other, so I would enhance the list. But I don't want to force you to, just for your consideration. Feel free. :D

I played each game, but Donkey Kong will be the best for me forever, I think.

Great poll, I felt such a nostalgy remembering all those games
