 Phosphor-Dot Fossils: Galaga
In Galaga, you were the only thing on the screen when the game started - rather than being presented with an alien fleet from the first moment of the game, you had an opportunity to take out the enemy as they flew into formation.
That's not to say, however, that some games didn't mimic the game play of Galaga - Attack of the Time Lord for the Odyssey 2 being a prime example.
But, as in the case of the motherships, which you could use to double your firepower by allowing one of your fighters to be captured, wiping them all out before they had a chance to form up wasn't always to your advantage.

Galaxian is a great 2-player game (players take turns playing, but each player can use a different controller) as it is the most fun and high-scorer initials can be entered and saved on a memory card.
Dig Dug Arrangement, Galaga Arrangement, Pac-Man Arrangement, and Pole Position II are also available to be "unlocked" by scoring high on the other games.
Pole Position/Pole Position II were great games in their time but they are very difficult to play with your standard PS2 controller.
