That is way cool. Doesn't leave much time for socializing, tho'!

It took me a few minutes to realize this wasn't from The Onion. ;)
Stubborn monkey beats Stubborn Monkey
Oh no. It does say Associated Press, after all. The article has a picture of him staring into the game, i.e., you can see his reflection in it. Personally, with these classics, I'd think you'd get really, really bored after a while as the levels just repeat themselves. But it's nice, in an '80s retro- sort of way.
I don't know what it is, exactly, about those old classic repeating games, but I find some of them really addictive. Centipede, for example.
Tetris. Now those were true games, no flashy graphics, but you just couldn't get enough of them. Atari, anyone?
Yeah, Tetris is another good example. So addictive that some people jokingly suggested it was a Soviet plot to ruin worker productivity in the U.S. :>
Heh, I could play it for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours.
I bought the Atari: Anniversary Edition which included Centipede, Millipede, Crystal Castles, Battle Zone, Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, Gravitar, Pong, Warlords, Tempest, Missile Command, and Super Breakout. I fell in love with most of the games and loved returning to most I remembered-- Pong, Missile Command, and Super Breakout were the only ones that looked a little tired. The only big difference was that you didn't have the benefit of the classic controls: very evident on Tempest-- I missed the control knob. But I could play the Tubes variation that had been a big hit in some bars. Crystal Castles especially was a big favorite and in my opinion, a real underrated gem that I think the arcade world overlooked. It was created, incidentally, when they were trying make a 3D version of Asteroids. This CD pack has a lot of memorabilia, interviews, and just a ton of old school goodies. Speaking of Tetris, when it was released, there was a columnist writing for the Compute! staff who half-jokingly wrote that Tetris must have been a Commie plot because the software wasn't copy protected. You could copy the hell out of it. I do remember it was wonderful, though-- lots of scenery of Russia while you matched up the tiles.
Galaxian!
Spade Invaders, the grandfather of Galaxian. Tron Then there was an obscure criminal-shooting game called Hogan's Alley. I could play that one for over an hour on a single quarter.
I'd love to find one of those old wireframe animation "Red Baron" games - it was a flight simulator similar to that tank game.
Missile Command isn't the same without that big trackball, but a mouse makes an okay substitute.
Timepilot.

galaga, Q-bert, metroid!
I remember Q-Bert as being very difficult for me to play. Cool graphics, though, for the time.

Galaxian was the sequel. Q*bert was a pretty keen game-- still is. Not sure what to think of the 'update.'
www.megachump.com/lars.html is a fave too...
