With all these threads lately about the latest video games like GTA S.A, Gran Turismo, etc., I thought I'd start one about the 'old school' classic games. I'm talk'n about games like Ms. Pacman, Donkey Kong, Galaxian, etc. I mean REALLY old school. LOL
I recently D/L'ed some of these classic games and use MAME as the emulator and man....even though I have games like GTA vice city and FIFA World Cup on my HD, I find myself playing the old school classics almost non-stop. True, these old school games have lame graphics compared to today's, but they just seem to be more fun. Maybe it's the simplicity of the games, or the fact that they bring back so many great memories of my childhood when I would hit the arcade/corner store after school and pop all those quarters in till I ran out of my allowance.
Anyone else still have fun playing these old video games or am I the only one? If you do, then what's your favourite game? Mine would be Galaga...I could play it for hours and still not get bored.
