spidy2222

so do you still play old classical games like tetris, space invaders, simon and so on? i do since i'm good at some, what about you? or you prefer some revolutionary classical game?

Of course I do! I still have my old GameBoy. You know, the really big white one with the tiny screen And back then the GameBoy automatically came with Tetris which I still have. Once you start playing that game it becomes so damn addictive.

Plus they re-released Atari because a lot of kids where really interested in it. So you can play all of those classic games whenever you want.

I only have two games downloaded on my cell phone; Tetris and Pacman and I don't regret having them at all. I play both of them quite often when I'm waiting around for something or just have a bit of time to kill and nothing more important to do. A lot of the classics are still popular for a reason; they're actually really fun.

I love retro games, and play them quite often..

And I have lots old classic DOS games lying around..

This site is also great if you used to play the old hand-held consoles (WAY before Gameboy arrived )
Play Hand-held Remakes Online!!

There's also a "classic games" section in our Arcade (if you haven't seen it already)

Star Control II is one of my all time favorite classic games..
I don't knot how many times I've completed it, but it's still a great game, and this remake of it has made it even better..
Anyone tried Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters??

And you can't forget Monkey Island while talking about classic games either:

Ah, the memories..

Very nice. Thanks for the links. I found NES and SNES emulators a while back and they're a great way to spend some time. Many of them come with complete libraries too which would have made my brain explode when I was eight or nine years old.

Hm, haven't tested any NEW and SNES emulators in a while..
Got any recommendations?

Yes, the classics are a lot of fun. I bet that most of us used to play them when they first came out. Probably the youngest gamer generation, would not find the classics any fun.

Two words: Speed Freak. I live for that game, must of played it 1000 times the last time I went to Cedar Point (they HAVE one there!)
