I think I’ve found something close to heaven for former arcade and videogame machine junkies like myself… Classic Gaming. Here are my favorites – the ones that actually made me say, "Aw, yeah, I remember that game!!!" out loud:
Burgertime – Sure, it didn’t promote sanitary food preparation, but let’s see you avoid walking on a burger bun when a giant egg is chasing you!
Oregon Trail – That damn cholera.
Tapper – Not to be confused with Root Beer Tapper, the kiddie version. There’s no way this game would be possible today.
Q*Bert – One of my favorites, for sure. [A great history of Q*Bert, from the guys who made it!]
Arkanoid – This game was really bad on my C64, but I played it anyway, during my "I really like clones of Breakout" phase.
They just don’t make games like this anymore. -pm
