Dragon's Lair

Atari

Dirk the Daring is a knight attempting to rescue Princess Daphne from the evil dragon Singe who has locked the princess in the foul wizard Mordroc's castle. It featured animation by ex-Disney animator Don Bluth. Most other games of the era represented the character as a sprite, which consisted of a series of pixels displayed in succession.

Galaga

Namco

The objective of Galaga is to score as many points as possible by destroying insect-like enemies. The player controls a starfighter that can move left and right along the bottom of the playfield. Enemies swarm in groups in a formation near the top of the screen, and then begin flying down toward the player, firing bullets at and attempting to crash into them. The game ends when the player's last fighter is lost by colliding with an enemy, being hit by an enemy shot, or being captured.

Best score: 518900 TOM

Pac-Man

The goal of the game is to accumulate as many points as possible by collecting the dots and eating ghosts. When all of the dots in a stage are eaten, that stage is completed and the player will advance to the next one.
