Video games are super fun to play, especially with your friends. There was nothing better than trying to beat your friends at your favorite game and then getting to call yourself the "master."

If your parents also happened to influence your video game collection, then here's a list of video games that will make you want to get your hands on an old game consul and play immediately.

1. Pacman

The OG videogame to rule them all. There's nothing better than being able to clear the screen of all the white dots with "Pacman" and kicking butts against the ghosts.

2. Space Invaders

Long before the movie, "Alien," we were defending the Earth from "Space Invaders." We couldn't take too long though as the rows of Invaders would slowly but surely fly downwards to attack us.

3. Super Mario Bros

Favorite. Game. Of. All. Time. "The Super Mario Bros." game was the greatest because it all had different worlds to conquer, coins to collect, and little mushroom dudes to destroy. And don't forget how many times we had to save the Princess!

4. Donkey Kong

The OG of the jungle was Donkey Kong. He sits on his mighty thrown and tosses barrels down the slopes for Mario to trip over less he save the Princess once again. But what a good feeling it was to destroy him and make it all the way to the top!

5. Frogger

Instead of asking, "why did the chicken cross the road?," we should have been asking, "why did Frogger cross the road?" Obviously to get to the other side and not be run over by several cars.

6. Q*bert

Definitely one of the weirdest games to come out Atari and definitely the most challenging. We were never sure why but little Q*bert had to jump on all the boxes to make them change color in order to win the game, all the while avoiding the little springy snakes.

7. Zelda

"Zelda" is one video game everyone knows and how fun it was (and still is, but with way better graphics). Full of adventure and wistfulness, there was no stopping once you started playing this game.

8. Dig Dug

Digging your way through the layers of dirt to rid yourself of all the weird little monsters running around in the roots was always entertaining. Especially since the music only played while your character was moving and also stopped when you did.

9. Duck Hunt

If you loved dogs and loved to shoot guns but didn't have either in real life, this was the game to play. Shooting ducks out of the sky was always fun to see how good your aim was.

10. Breakout

Even though this game was essentially "Ping Pong" but just playing it by yourself with cool colored blocks to hit, the most frustrating part was when the little ball wouldn't go in quite the right spot to get the last block. But how satisfying it was when it did!

11. Pitfall

Move over Donkey Kong, the new king of the jungle has arrived! While trying not to fall in the pits, jump over rolling barrels, sliding past snakes, and risking getting bitten by jumping on the alligator heads, it was one crazy adventure in this game.
