Video games changed the world. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, the video game boom hit towns worldwide with now iconic arcade games such as “Space Invaders,” “Pac-Man” and “Donkey Kong.” These games were the blueprint for video games around the world and helped to create the multi-billion dollar industry we have today.
Although there are more innovative and hi-tech games today, we still have an appreciation for the games that came before. Take a look at some of our favorite tattoo homages to the classic video games, then let us know your favorite game from this list in the comments section on social media.
