When Rose and I were up in Michigan taking a first stab at cleaning my junk out of my Mom's house, I found my old Atari 2600 game console, with a stack of the games. My favorite was "Defender".

For actual arcade games, the one I was best at was "Space Invaders".

Oh man! *mad jealousy ensues*

I was thinking about buying a surplus one on-line, there's a web site that has scores of them.

About a year ago, I downloaded "NESticle", which is a program that lets you play old NES games. I literally stayed up all night playing 'Legend of Zelda' and 'Bionic Commando'...it was awesome.

Wow. Miner 2049er. What else did we play? hmmmm My older brother (Jim) who was in the Navy then had that Atari system. He would come for Christmas every year and the whole family of us would play marathon games with much coffeee, alll night long. We just couldn't stand to waste his time here sleeping.
