Star Raiders and Berserk are pretty good. Star Raiders was way ahead of it's time.
River raid for sure
Yes! I've put more time into River Raid than any other game from this era

Cosmic Ark. Blasting the asteroids tests your reaction speed, then you reach a planet where you carefully beam animals up into your shuttlecraft and race back to the saucer. Repeat to populate your Ark with a high score.
