Video games have been around for several decades now, which means younger gamers might not have played some of the older classics. That’s a shame, because the best older games built the foundation for the
games coming out today. And it’s not like experiencing these classics is like being forced to eat your vegetables. Many of them are just as fun for today’s audiences as they were for us old folks growing up in the 1980s.
Below, we run down a list of essential games you may have missed (or not been born yet) when they were the hot new thing. All of the games on this list are available to play in some form today. Most of them are on the Nintendo eShop, available on the Wii, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, or all three.
So without further ado, here are 10 time-tested classics from the 1980s that are well worth your time if you get the chance to play them now or in the future.

Local co-op didn’t get much better than Bubble Bobble in 1988. Come to think of it, it still doesn’t get much better than this. In this adorably colorful game, you and a friend play as bubble-blowing dragon creatures who hop around screen-sized levels and defeat enemies by encasing them in bubbles and popping them.
Throw in some collectible letters, fruits and veggies, diamonds and gems, and an insanely catchy (and highly repetitive) musical backdrop, and you’ve got yourself a game that’s pure joy from start to finish. Make sure you play with a friend if you can, though, because you won’t be able to reach the game’s true ending all by your lonesome.
