I look donw the list on this section and see that no one has written anything about the old classic arcade games. I have a mame generator on my PC nad I love to play those classic arcade games. You cant beat the original Outrun.

Anyone here old enough to rember when the first arcade games came out, and also the Atari 2600 games consoles.

I still have my SNES still boxed with about twenty games, all boxed in mint, under a dust cover. I'm about to retire my PS2 when I get a Wii, and put that in the attic. It'll be good to show the kids one day the games I grew up with, er hum... still growning up with. Shame that old tv game pong no longer works.

Not exactly how I remember this game. In 1975 my father brought this TV game, it had football, tennis which was more or less like Pong and a squash.

I remember playing multiplayer bomberman 2 on the snes with my kids when they were young, great fun. I think you needed a multitap for 4 player lol. The snes was the greatest console of them all.
