Asteroids. I remember it being the first arcade game that was popular with the masses. It generated a buzz unlike any game before it. Space Invaders had been a huge hit prior to that, but there weren't a lot of dedicated video arcades around at the time.

 

Asteroids came along at the time new arcades were just opening up, and it helped propel them into the public spotlight. Part of that was the marathon gamers who could play Asteroids for hours (or days) on end. There was a lot of media attention about that, and that drew in a curious public. Asteroids became a household name, and arcade gaming took off.

 

Galaga, on the other hand, was a sequel to Galaxian. ;)
