Argus Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 http://www.tripletsandus.com/80s/80s_games/zaxxon.htm  I remember playing that on my Colecovision. It seemed so much cooler then. Quote
denalidave Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 You should be able to download all your fav classics. I did it a few years back. Just google MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) and download the whole era of games. But you prolly new that already. I used to love that tempest and mario bros. Quote

chirp Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Fun games indeed, absorbing and self satisfying, but the single player, one dimensional aspect leaves me cold. Give me a sesh that requires up to 50 people to work as a team with a complex strat and im happy...and I aint talking bout that lame game WoW. The original Everquest has enough content after 9 years to keep nearly any MMORPG freak happy.  Finishing the mission in Uqua, The Ocean God Chantry  Quote
hafilax Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Sometimes I miss the old 2D games like Super Mario Bros and Contra. The 3D interface with adjustable camera angles etc. sometimes detracts from the game play. Quote
Seahawks Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Wii you can download all these old games for under $5 each. Some great ones. Quote
