The following question was presented:
I came across a top 10 list on listverse.com that had the most influential arcade games. Rather than get into which one's the best, I'm simply going to ask which of the following arcade games did you like playing the most? (And yes, I dropped one from the list).
Results:
Donkey Kong, Frogger, Phoenix and Pong tied with 25% of the votes each from the following selection:
- Asteroids (0%)
- Donkey Kong (25%)
- Frogger (25%)
- Galaga (0%)
- Mario Bros (0%)
- Pac-Man (0%)
- Phoenix (25%)
- Pong (25%)
- Space Invaders (0%)
- None of the above (0%)

Analysis:
Donkey Kong, Frogger, Phoenix and Pong all seem to have shared the honors, so no consistent favorite. A little surprised that Space Invaders didn't feature into anyone's picks. I was tempted to select it, but in the end went for Phoenix. I know this wasn't a question on whether you agreed that these were the top 10 (or 9) most influential games, but I'm a little surprised there weren't any real classics that scrolled left to right like Defender or Scramble.
