Red Baron II 3D -- PC WWI flight simulator
Total Annihilation -- PC RTS game where you have to build an economy and a military at the same time, and then kill the enemy
Defender, in its arcade console -- for 1982 it was sensory overload
Pac-man -- I learned the patterns, got good at improvising when the pattern went to shit, and could play for 45 minutes on one quarter
Jane's WWII Fighters -- not only a great PC flight sim which had qualities mimicking the real-life strengths and weaknesses of the planes, but also featuring interviews with aces from America and Germany describing their own experiences, guys like Gabreski, Gunther Rall, and Bud Anderson.
