What are your top 10 arcade games that use only a joystick and one button?
I don't think I can list 10 off the top of my head right now, but I'm sure Galaga would be at the top of that list if I could.

I was hoping to get some more obscure responses--it doesn't have to be ten if you can't think of that many. Here are my favorites:
Dock Man (Port Man)
Mario Bros.
Do! Run Run!
Mr. Do!
Mr. Do's Castle
Mr. Do's Wild Ride (anybody else find this one crazy hard?)

Do they have to have one button, or is it one button max? In other words, does Ms. Pac-Man and Frogger count?
My favorite one button games off my 48-in-1 are: Arkanoid, Burger Time, Centipede, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong 3, Donkey Kong JR, Frogger (no button), Galaga, Galaxian, Gyruss, Ms. Pac-Man (no button), Rally X, Phoenix, Space Invaders, Super Pac-Man, and Zaxxon.
Some of my favorite one-button games not on the 48-in-1 are Zoo Keeper, Satan's Hollow, Wizard of Wor, Ataxx, Congo Bongo, Fantasy (no buttons), Kickman, Gorf, Tetris, Klax, Journey, Jungle King, the Joust clone Mario Bros, Q*Bert (no button), Bust a Move/Puzzle Bobble, Buster Bros, Pac-Mania, Popeye ... and probably a bunch I'm forgetting.
While they're not my favorites, you could toss most of the laserdisc games in there as well.
