Bubble Bobble! Sweet! My sister and I got to play that game on vacation, staying at other peoples' houses as kids. We were allowed to play 20 minutes a day, so when the game was on pause or between levels, we'd look away and count the seconds that we weren't actually playing. It was a brilliant maneuver.

They look fantastic. But WHY oh why did they have to hard-code a control scheme that uses CTRL and arrow keys at the same time? Flipping through virtual desktops makes it impossible to play.

Ah Duck Hunt, one game from my Luddite period that I actually played. And by 'played' mean beat every single poor bastard that ever came before me.
Seriously, I was like a god with that zapper, I could effortless take down anything at any speed, that damn dog wasn't laughing much at me, I can tell you.
To this day, I have no idea why or how. And it's a skill that has yet to translate into huge piles of cash for me, which is a shame, because I was led to believe that everything post 2000 was going to using be lightgun-pointed-at-a-TV based technology.

I remember a vastly different Alley Cat in CGA that I would play on my dad's PC at work. There was just one big building with many windows, and each window contained a different minigame..swimming through a goldfish bowl and avoiding electric eels to eat the fish, for instance.

I used to play Joust after school almost every day. Nothin' says entertainment like jousting on pixelated ostriches that you're forcing to do the one thing they can't. Oh, and then making them crush ostrich eggs for points. It's like pixelated ostrich abuse.

ostriches that you're forcing to do the one thing they can't
Oh, they can fly, you just need a fairly good sized hang-glider wing, some solid rocket boosters, and a nice length of runway.
One thing that they absolutely can't do, however, is land.
Which invariably leads to much sadness.
And really big fried drumsticks.
I'd forgotten how much I loved Joust.

Rumple: that game was Gorillas. My housemates and I used to play beer-fueled best-of-101 matches of that back in the day ('the day' being the mid-'90s). Good times.

Christmas cheer is in the air! I think it's safe to say that this would make my day. Not coz I like them video games - hated them as a kid, still do as a matter of fact - but because Duck Hunt and Alley Cat bring back memories, which, it appears, has a far greater pull than a complete lack of hand-eye coordination.

Hrmm.. the Dragon Lair link is to the shitty NES game, not the original arcade like the description talks about. Also Gauntlet is some crap Flash implementation that is buggy and slow. If you're interested in playing much better ports of old skool NES games I'd recommend the FireNES plugin for Firefox.

Tempest! Asteroids! Space Invaders! Frogger! Awesome. Takes me back to my old Commodore 64 and the arcades I used to visit in the 1980s. Thanks for this post.

Alley Cat is the best (and also one of my first computer games).

Gee, thanks, nickyskye. I'm back home for Christmas, but instead of dinner with family and then drinks with friends, I'll spend hours in my old room playing Blaster Master. It's just like being in high school again.
I curse you for posting this.

Oh, and I just saw they have Moon Patrol. That was my favourite! Oh happy day.

They look fantastic. But WHY oh why did they have to hard-code a control scheme that uses CTRL and arrow keys at the same time? Flipping through virtual desktops makes it impossible to play.

Ah Duck Hunt, one game from my Luddite period that I actually played. And by 'played' mean beat every single poor bastard that ever came before me.
Seriously, I was like a god with that zapper, I could effortless take down anything at any speed, that damn dog wasn't laughing much at me, I can tell you.
To this day, I have no idea why or how. And it's a skill that has yet to translate into huge piles of cash for me, which is a shame, because I was led to believe that everything post 2000 was going to using be lightgun-pointed-at-a-TV based technology.

I remember a vastly different Alley Cat in CGA that I would play on my dad's PC at work. There was just one big building with many windows, and each window contained a different minigame..swimming through a goldfish bowl and avoiding electric eels to eat the fish, for instance.

I used to play Joust after school almost every day. Nothin' says entertainment like jousting on pixelated ostriches that you're forcing to do the one thing they can't. Oh, and then making them crush ostrich eggs for points. It's like pixelated ostrich abuse.

Oh, they can fly, you just need a fairly good sized hang-glider wing, some solid rocket boosters, and a nice length of runway.
One thing that they absolutely can't do, however, is land.
Which invariably leads to much sadness.
And really big fried drumsticks.
I'd forgotten how much I loved Joust.

Lunatic Fringe screensaver for Mac was a classic. Stay in one place, it's Asteroids. Move around, and there's all kinds of wonderful stuff.
Also, a DOS game called Gorillas.
Good times, good times.

There was a game packaged within Windows 3.1 (I think) called something like 'worm wiggle' in which you led a bunch of snakes in search of a pellet? Anyone remember? The other game was a gorilla tossing a banana..

Thanks rokusan. Anyone else wanting to wile away a few hours will need the following in conjunction with that:

Rumple, I think those were qbasic demo games.

Rumple: that game was Gorillas. My housemates and I used to play beer-fueled best-of-101 matches of that back in the day ('the day' being the mid-'90s). Good times.

Thanks guys --- yeah the other one is Nibbles. We used to have intra-office tournaments on nibbles instead of doing data analysis for our dissertations. Can I play those on a mac?!

Too bad the flash version of 'Gauntlet' only superficially appears to be like the original.

If you want a puzzler to keep you till the dawn of 1/1 when your relatives leave, play Solomon's Key.

Further proving that MeFi continues to be the best site on the Internet, I was just told 'you suck' and 'I wanna play' by my fiancee who was previously engrossed in a movie on television. Woo hoo.

Christmas cheer is in the air! I think it's safe to say that this would make my day. Not coz I like them video games - hated them as a kid, still do as a matter of fact - but because Duck Hunt and Alley Cat bring back memories, which, it appears, has a far greater pull than a complete lack of hand-eye coordination.

Hrmm.. the Dragon Lair link is to the shitty NES game, not the original arcade like the description talks about. Also Gauntlet is some crap Flash implementation that is buggy and slow. If you're interested in playing much better ports of old skool NES games I'd recommend the FireNES plugin for Firefox.

'1941 - counter attack', the first game in the list, does not link to a playable version. AND THAT'S THE ONE I WANTED TO PLAY THE MOST! NOOOO

Ah, I found the original Alley Cat. What a completely bonkers game. At what point did we start expecting video games to kinda sorta make sense?
