Golden Age games refer to the heyday of arcade video games ranging from approximately 1980 through 1986, including the classics such as Donkey Kong, Frogger, Pac-Man, Centipede and many more. Popular game manufacturers during this period include Atari, Bally Midway, Gottlieb, Nintendo, Sega, Stern and Taito among others.
While primarily seen in personal collections in collectors' man caves or garages, Golden Age games are making a bit of comeback with barcades and classic arcades popping up more and more these days.
