The OP said it didn't matter, its just for fun. And note everyone puts SMB3 as 1988, but it did not release into the US then. 1990 was SMB3's big year. It is becuase those who remember the movie The Wizard came out in late 1989 and it showed off SMB3 before it became available. So the hype train for SMB3 was off the hook when it came out in 1990.

Anyways, here's my list. It got tough because I apparently have not played a lot of games that came out after 2014.

1979: Asteroids
1980: Centipede
1981: Tempest
1982: Millipede
1983: Spy Hunter
1984: 1942
1985: Super Mario Bros

1995: Destruction Derby
1996: Quake
1997: Star Wars: X-Wing vs Tie Fighter
1998: Half-Life
1999: Quake III Arena
2000: Diablo II
2001: Red Faction
