    hi guys, as much as i want to play big time games like Baulder's Gate, RPGs, Civilization, Sims etc, i don't have the ability to play and win. That is why im limited to playing games that maybe a little old or a little simple for you guys. These are PacMan, TwinBee, DigDug, Battle Tank, etc. Anyways, if you happen to know any websites offering a free download of these games, pls. feel free to write to this thread so i can enjoy my 'book more! especially during very boring days in school!!! thanks..

    Try Snes emulator
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22873

    You should find Snes ROMS using your favorite search engine.

    It is illegal to possess copies of these games unless you have the original, which I'm sure you have ;)

    Hi Butcher,
    If you're looking for an ancient video game fix i suggest you go to Toy Kingdom. There's three nifty gadgets there that looks like an Atari Joystick, an Intellivision Joystick and a Pacman Arcade joystick. Each of these joysticks are complete integrated video gaming consoles. The Atari Joystick for example has 10 built-in games from Pong to Space Invaders among others. The thing is cheap at less than 2K each. I was thinking of getting myself one coz its so cute. Try it out. I'm sure you'll have fond memories when you hold the Atari Joystick in your hand. Hope this helps!

    Hi Butcher, Toy Kingdom is only found in SM malls. All of them have one. Rockwell has a different toy store. I'm not sure if it has the joystick but you can try it out. Happy gaming!

    TWINBEE!!! Old skool!!! Lol, i remember that game from waaaay back and was briefly addicted to it back then, hehe.

    I second Kenneth's recommendation of an emulator. I use a NES, SNES, and Gameboy Advance emulator myself. The ROMS of these games are easily attainable with a little patience and sipag (and it will be legal since you own or owned the originals, right?). And with a decent joypad, the experience will be seamless. Imagine playing all the classic NES and SNES games like Mario brothers, contra, punch out, adventure island, and yes, Twinbee, on your computer. The best part of this its all F-R-E-E with a little surfing and googling.

    OF course, the all-in-one Atari Joystick or famicom controllers pre-loaded with hundreds og old-skool games are also recommendable if you dont mind spending for it. Nothing like an old-skool Atari Joystick, mwehehehe
