Rally-X (ラリーX Rarī-Ekkusu?) is a maze & driving arcade game, that was released by Namco in 1980 and licensed to Midway Games for US manufacture and distribution in 1981. It was the first game to have "Background Music". Also, it was the first game from the company to feature "Special Flags", which would become a recurring object in later games (along with the Galaxian flagship and their signature character Pac-Man; the latter also made his arcade debut in 1980).
It was the first game to feature a "bonus round",[citation needed] and the first of only three Namco games of its time period whose score display did not roll over at 1,000,000. The object is for the player car to "capture" all of the flags scattered around the field before the red cars catch it. It also features an early example of a radar, to show the cars' and flags' locations on the map.

Donkey Kong's cage is guarded by Mario, in his only appearance as an antagonist in a video game. This game is the sequel to the video gameDonkey Kong, which featured Mario as the hero and Junior's father as the villain (while in this game, it's the other way around).

Zaxxon is a 1982 isometric shooter arcade game developed and released by Sega. Some sources[2][3][4] claim that Japanese electronics company Ikegami Tsushinki also worked on the development of Zaxxon. The game gives the player the experience of flying a fighter craft through a fortress while shooting at enemy entities (missiles, enemy gunfire, etc.) The object of the game is to hit as many targets as possible without being shot down or running out of fuel—which can be replenished, paradoxically, by blowing up fuel drums.[5]
