Space Invaders
The Space Invaders were iconic (literally) sub 50 pixel sprites that changed almost everything about gaming. The arcade machines that initially used to haunt dubious hangouts quickly made their way to prominent restaurants. The Japanese mint could not release as many 100 yen coins as the Space Invaders cabinets consumed, Which resulted in a shortage of such coins in the economy. The first wave of game programmers to enter the industry came in after using the home version of the game. However, the most important contribution of Space Invaders is a fact that it introduce a high score. The previous high score was saved, and the score became a gaming standard, something that the industry regarded as an essential component of gaming till the turn of the millennium.
