The simple "slay and filet" thinking that gave us. Defender, Robotron, Space Invaders.
Well, have I got a website for you, check out
http://www.tripletsrus.com/80s/80s_games/arcade.htm.
And relive your past glory (Like I did during my lunch, YEP I still got it. 7th key on PAC-MAN with the first guy)
Enjoy. if anybody needs me. I will be defending my family from the robot horror.

Ok, quite honestly I never understood the whole retro movement in videogames. Yes, I am an old-timer (had the second type of Intellivision thank you very much), but even back then I thought it would be cool if videogames could have plots instead of being an endless loop where you were doomed to die.
Of course, Astrosmash was fun.

I had a working Pong game until my grandParents Sold their house last year, TV and All, and didn't give me enough time to retreive it.

Dudes, I loved Pong. I still have my old Colecovision mothballed in the closet. I had too buy the classic games for my Playstation to get Galaga. I have many fond memories of playing it at Village Pizza at 1:30 AM after hours of D&D back in the 80's.That and Gauntlet, having to pin some jerk Elf in the corner and damaging him till he ran out of quarters, Ha!
