As I recall, Space Invaders was the first hit video game. It's really what introduced us kids to video games. However, it was pretty quickly replaced by Asteroids, which was much more exciting. There were a handful of other games, but those were the two big ones. Then, Pac-Man hit the arcade and everything changed. We all forgot about Space Invaders and Asteroids after Pac-Man.
