must-have classic b/w arcade games

[Superully]

as you might know, i'm trying to get a small collection of the most important classic b/w games together. here's what i've got so far:

- BREAKOUT
- TANK
- DEATH RACE (the first video game ever to get banned)
- GRAN TRAK 10 (the first driving game ever)
- NIGHT DRIVER (first first-person driving game)

i would add the following games to the b/w must-have list:

- PONG
- COMPUTER SPACE
- SPACE INVADERS
- GUN FIGHT / BOOT HILL

and MANEATER simply because of the beauty of the cabinet:



same goes for REBOUND:



chances are OK to get a pong or a computer space, but i guess getting my hands on a maneater or a rebound is beyond possible.

is there anything i have forgotten / you would add to the list - now it's your time 

btw, b/w vector games don't count

A few of the coolest looking classic cabs IMO are:
- Space Race
- Jaws
- Galaxy Game, estimated value $20000!

Make that B/W raster games, or you'll get a good list of b/w vector games

  Good luck finding a original arcade PONG. No way dude...
Prices are going +$5000 for a working version. I have searched and searched for years but never found a payable one.

@level42: THEY DON'T COUNT!!!   otherwise i would have a looong list ...

what don't we start another must-have b/w vector games list in another thread?

i disagree! i've been talking in another post about the pong i didn't buy a couple of moths ago. it went for around 1200 dollars, including shipping it would have come to a total of around 2000 dollars. the machine was in good working condition with all the original parts. unfortunately, it was out of my league back then!

i'm SURE i will own an original PONG one day. i wanted to build one myself (already have the wood, the control panel and a tv), but scratch-built is simply not original - no matter how well it is executed. i have the deepest respect for people like scr33n or muerto who can build an arcade cabinet easily, but ATM i wouldn't do it. ask me again in a few years ...

of course, how could i forget? SPACE RACE in that incredible fiberglass cabinet:

Super Bug, because it's suppsosed to be the first game with a scrolling playfield (plus it's a fun game).
Plus it's "sister game" Fire Truck, the 2 player version, because it's a damn cool cab

Fire Truck, the 2 player version, because it's a damn cool cab  

MMM.. I don't like. Like an ancient Steampunk try. Steampunk sucks, this heads to much in that direction IMO.

[Blanka]

Wow! That one is supercool!. Was not even thinking of that one myself. I already liked the regular cab.

I would like to add a Pong to my collection

Sea Wolf, if you have the space.

That game used to fascinate me as a kid. I needed a little pedestal to stand on to reach it too

We all forgot one of the best:

Hey,

Guess what? ;-)

I have a Rebound.
