The Unexposed Secret of Arcade Game

Actually, no 1980s arcade games joined the Hall of Fame this past year. That said, the judges failed to select a timeless 1990s arcade game. This was also to games console games, a mid-70s text-based adventure game, and a game which was packaged free in the Microsoft Windows operating system.
