of attack demon attack demon attack was released in 1982 it is supposedly based on the 1979 arcade shooter galaxian though it closely resembles several waves from the 1980 arcade video game Phoenix Damon attack became a Magic's best selling video game with selling over 2 million copies today thank you number nine is Mrs Pac-Man the only difference between Mrs Pac-Man and Pac-Man is the boner hair it's kind of like Superman and Clark Kent and the glasses anyway Mrs Pac-Man Mrs Pac-Man released in 1982 it was developed by General computer Corporation and published by Midway it was the first sequel to Pac-Man and the first entry in the series not to be made by Namco controlling the Title Character Pac-Man's wife the player's tasked with eating all the pellets in an enclosed maze while

is E.T yeah enjoy this one E.T the extra terrestrial E2 was released in 1982 it was developed and published by Atari Inc for the Atari 2600 and was based on of course the film with the same name the game's objective is to guide the eponymous character through various screens to collect three pieces of an interplanetary telephone though allow him to contact his home planet this game sold more than

released in 1979 the object of this game is to shoot and destroy the asteroids and saucers while not colliding with either or being hit by the saucer's counter fire the game becomes harder as the number of asteroids increases asteroids was one of the first major hits of the golden age of arcade games and has sold over 3.83 million copies thank you thank you number five is Frogger this is my second favorite account of an amphibian and his adventures the first of course is wind in the willow Frogger released in 1981 an arcade action game developed by Konami and manufactured by Sega the
