Mainly played Joust and Galaga to wind down after a lengthy session on the pinnies at the arcades. I liked Joust at the time because it shared some sounds with Williams BK and CG.
Joust was no where as popular as Space Invaders or even Pac Man. A typical arcade running about 50 machines in early 80s had 25 pinnies, 15 Space Invaders and Pac Mans, 5 Joust and Galaga and maybe an odd Donkey Kong.
