Gaming in the 80's
More of a list of what personally sticks out to me; either culturally (lots of people talked about/played the game), financially (the game sold lots), or maybe just creativity (very unique idea for the time). Suggestions very welcomed, but I can't guarantee an entry!! Just because, and let's keep it a secret between us, these are mostly just games I personally like playing or reading about LMAO. No matter what though, I would love to hear people's perspectives on 80's gaming and how varied it was depending on where we all grew up. The 80's was big with pretty much everything (arcade, PC, and console... even the beginning of more mainstream handheld stuff!) so it's neat seeing how how our perspectives change how we view things. I'm also just going to focus on games that came out in the 80's just because it makes things less complicated. I knowwww Space Invaders was very influentional to 80's gaming, but it came out in 1978, sorry!
I made this while bored at work, not meant to be too serious - but look! I tried to shittily color sort it! Sorry for ALREADY blabbing way too much lol. Hope you enjoy my nonsense.

Shadowgate (specifically the NES port) was one of my first introductions to adventure games and is a fun little play if you've never had the chance to try it
You might also like to look into Project Firestart, it's a little rough around the edges but is pretty cool for being a prototypical example of what most would consider survival horror
