Classic games from the 80's online

In a week you will wish you hadn't

Galaga was my game as a kid...

...and later Star Force, Out Run, Strider, 1943, Gun Smoke, etc. etc.

If you want to play all the 1970's and 80's classic arcade games check out the MAME emulator.

This site is worth a butcher's too: http://www.arcadeflyers.com/

I saw a thread somewhere about old, rusting Typhoon SSBNs that some Russians had got onto and taken lerds and lerds of pics. They had something VERY similar to this on board.

It was probably on www.hmvf.co.uk

The Old Arcade Church Street in Cardiff is a great pub but I had no idea they had made a game about it

Missile Command was good, but I was rubbish at Defender. At our local the torpedo game was IN COLOUR!, by the simple expedient of three strips of coloured cellophane glued to the screen.
And you tell the kids today Tchh.
