You know what’s awesome about the games of the 1980s? Everything. Everything’s awesome. With releases like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Frogger, there was no shortage of new, great entertainment.
A baby in the 80s, meant growing up playing the 80s games throughout the 90s. I still love to play Frogger whenever I see it and Do you remember games like Paperboy? What about the rest?
