    Below is a link to some video games that were popular in the Eighties. Games in the Arcade Classic catagory include: Spy Hunter, Rampage, Joust, Satan's Hollow, Defenders I and II, Root Beer Tapper and Robotron. There are tons of other games you can play at shockwave.com as well, but I haven't played any of 'em, because I've been hooked on Joust since yesterday afternoon! Enjoy 'em!

    Oh, don't forget to practice your bass playing between rounds!

    Never really got into the vidoe game craze. I am still stuck on pinball. Drives my wife insane. I can play for hours on a dollar on most any game.

    Hey thanks man! Currently it's out at my grandma's house, where it has always been. Just because my family are major packrats, I've gotten all these game systems, which now I can consider myself a Collecter... right to the left of my computer desk I have a colecovision I got working again!

    mame emulation kick ass!

    im downloading the best stuff and im planning to do one of those mame cabinets (an old pc and monitor turned into an arcade cabinet).

    on the other hand, i have this disc for the dreamcast that has most of the NES games into one cd and runs flawlessly! spent most of yesterday enjoying my childhood again

    I had to settle for an actual NES, Dave. Your disc may be close, but do you have to blow into it before it will work for you? I thought not.

    :D ;)

    IMO, today's games can't touch yesterday's, in terms of fun factor and playability. I got out of the video game scene just after the Neo-Geo became obsolete.

    Gamecube is all about fun playable games. That's why people dismiss it as a kids' system, but I say, who cares, as long as it's entertaining.
