arcade classic
Old coin-op favorite
An arcade classic is a video game from the golden age of coin-operated arcade machines—roughly the late 1970s through the 1980s—that remains culturally significant or beloved.
Games like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Space Invaders qualify.
The term implies both historical importance and enduring appeal: They're remaking that arcade classic for modern consoles.
