Hrm... never heard of centipede? Not sure what you are looking for but this (http://www.liketotally80s.com/top-20-80s-arcade-games.html) has a good list...

Woah, for some reason I always thought Xevious was from 1986 or so. I'm kind of shocked how many great games came out from 1980-1982...

To that list I'd add Spy Hunter (don't want to think how many quarters I sank into this without ever getting very far) and Gaplus (my favorite of the Galaxion spin-offs).
