Was this a follow up to the Midway Arcade Classics made years ago for PS2, XBox, etc? That's got so many cool games it's worth getting an old console just to play that collection.

Check this out!Jeffro shared this link to me a while ago,I love it,hope you enjoy!

Holy !  Galaga, Defenders, etc., etc.  Only missing Plieades.  Guess I've gotta go buy an Atari console.  PM's encouraged!

You can play them right on your computer screen friend!I just had a round of Alien!Not sure if it works on handhelds,but was fine on the laptop.

I know,I'm behind on my messages

I'm going to Walmart tomorrow,and guess what I'm hoping to find!?!

I love the  joystick boxes that have multi games that plug into the back of the television but the ones I found didn't have Q-bert or Rampage! We never had any of the originals either,so I will live the dream now!

Do it!!!

And speaking of multi games that plug into the back of a television, BlowUpTheMoon posted this in my other thread in the Water Cooler.  It looks like Amazon has a bunch of them for sale.

I passed on the Froggers ect,they were a little less of what I was hoping for,but Mrs Porcupine found and bought this somewhere in the clearance area while I was running around fruitlessly searching for those DC 100 pagers-truely not available in Canada -thing is,it went home in our friends car(yes,I have a few outside of here left  ) and I have to wait till Christmas time!

I love this game.  I could never beat the second Sinistar.

One of my favorites as well. 

The sound effects alone were worth the quarter.

I was at an auction and a double Deer Hunter came up - went for $7

 

I'd have bought it except I'd of had to remove a double window to get it in the house as way too big for the doors...which is probably why it went for $7......

I'm glad I kept most of my game systems.  The only one I don't have is my Atari 2600, but I kept all of my home consoles.  Unfortunately, I didn't keep the single game hand helds.

Was it this one? I remember this being one of the very first handhelds I played as well.

Yeah, that's it.  I think I had a game from Radio Shack.

Nearly three years after starting this thread, I finally got my hands on my first Replicade 1/6th scale arcade game.
