Remember Pac-Man?
Japanese Games like "Pac-Man" in 80s may bring childhood memories as the game's impact was reportedly enormous back them. The game may still be timeless decades later. Moving back to the year 1978, "Space Invaders" was then defined as one of the Japanese Games made for a generation, Kotaku reported.
The game reportedly inspired the creation of the "Invader House" arcade all over Japan. In addition, Japanese Games may be incomplete without "Super Mario Bros." that was released back in 1985 that spunned several titles through the years, the latest being the iOS app "Super Mario Run".
Note that "Super Mario Bros." was noted as one of the most important Japanese Games ever produced in the last 40 years. Moving on to the year 1987, the concept of the game "Final Fantasy" was launched that is expected to thrive well into the upcoming years.
