classic gaming conventions

"Games with representational graphics often rely on conventions from other audiovisual media, and increasingly, on conventions established in earlier video games, giving them a built-in familiarity that allows players to begin playing without having to learn the interface."

In our hearts and minds these three(Star Wars, Battlezone, Space Invaders)games will always be treated as "classics." As basic as they were, these games set the standards for all games today. And as simple as they were, the built-in familiarity that allowed game-play without having to learn the interface will never be the same!
