Minmo
1981
This game gives me a huge rush of energy every time I start a new game. I love knocking out all the bugs before they get in proper formation, and sparing a few of the big boys so you can get another ship. It's a colorful and magnetic shooter; building off the base of Galaxian, boosting speed and enemy variety. It really is a quintessential example of the kinds of experiences arcades had to offer and set the groundwork for multiple genres of shoot em ups.
