How about a relatively non-specific action or an emotion rather than an object or noun? Something allowing serious inventiveness?
Eg, one of these:-
Theft, or
Hesitation, or
Regret.
etc.  |

Like it sean - I don't have anything better, so I'll go with theft
Thanks for the votes guys - my second 'retro games' win, I won with a spinning rubik's cube, must be nearly 18 months ago now |

I liked your avatar Bife but I would go with Foxboy in that it say's '70s rather than eighties.  Mampers' Pacman is more typically eighties. I think Pong (or Ping as it was known in the states) must have come out in '76 or '77. By 1978 we had Space Invaders, followed by Asteroids and the first colour video game Galaxian in 1979. I can't argue with statistics though and will not demand a recount unless it is performed in Florida by my buddies.  |
