  • For real retro obscurity, it's hard to beat Pengo.  Simple but effective graphics and great sound/music for the time.

     

    Plus, it turns out that Pengo makes a great basis for an FPGA placement algorithm, doing a decent job in a small fraction of the time needed by simulated annealing.

     

    For action, I liked Galaxian.  Lots more (and smoother) action than Space Invaders.  I played Galaxian on a Xerox Alto back in grad school.
