Cool games released on your birth year

[nightrnr]

As a couple others, I'm a 1980 child.
...born the year of Pac-Man, the ultimate classic arcade icon.

And although it was actually 1981, I like to think that Tempest hit the scene the same year (within 365 days) as I did (I'm a late-ish month in the year at least).

The original Fallout! And damn, that is an amazing game.

I can't even imagine what it's like being born in 1998. You've taken full 3D graphics for granted your entire life, haven't you?

No one is this young. You, sir, are a liar.

And then all of a sudden you're 75 and you're talking to this young punk.

And the young punk says: 'Birds? What the fuck are birds?..."

Wait till the young punk asks you: "you were once a little kid?"

The Atari 2600 was released two weeks after I was born.
So I got Combat. I'll take that.

Haha, in my case 4 days after I was born...

1987.

MEGAMAN

Lol. Ok dude, are you some kind of clone of me they made when I was born? We are born the same year and I seem to always agree with your gaming tastes and opinions.

Anyway cheers mate

Also may I add:

Final Fantasy
Contra
Metal Gear
Street Fighter

Add to those Megaman and you got quite the historic year (even though half of those games only reached their full potential with later sequels).

Also: how come there's nobody else from 87 here?
