Title: Arcade Madness Brackets. Vote For Your Favorite Games!

Arcade Madness Brackets

So, I was thinking it’d be fun to make a bracket for arcade games.  I thought of 32 of the best games from the golden age and put them in some March-Madness-Style brackets. 
I thought it’d be fun to put the match-ups here and have us all vote on the games.  I can do four pairings at a time, let them ride for a week or two, and then do four more pairings.  I’ll keep track of who wins, and then in a few months we will have the board’s favorite golden age arcade game.

The ones I included in the mix are:
Dig Dug
Time Pilot
Mr. Do!
Bosconian
Ms Pac Man
Galaga
Q*Bert
Gyruss
Mappy
Space Invaders
Elevator Action
Galaxian
Track & Field
Robotron 2084
Star Wars
Tron
Pac Man
Asteroids
Moon Patrol
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong 3
Donkey Kong Jr.
Burgertime
Tapper
Defender
Pole Position
Centipede
Frogger
Mad Planets
Zoo Keeper
Tempest
Joust

I’m sure there is a favorite from people “here and there” that I missed.  There always is.  But, I think these are the best group of 32 I can think of.  Any one of them can make it far.  Also, there are a few nice dark horses.   
And 32 games make for a clean, balanced bracket. 
I will TRY to pair them up as best as I can.

Gyruss I believe is WAY more advanced then Galaga.
It's like an unofficial sequel between Galaga and Gaplus to me.
and my only game...
