| I was reading through the BBC news website and came across a top story explaining that a large collection of nostalgic arcade games have being put online to play via a browser for free, I thought considering the amount of people who play games here, that the link to the site might be appreciated. I included the BBC link as well.

| Thanks! I lived through the eighties, so was there when these games came out lol! If you like nostalgia gaming then you need to go to good old games (gog.com) and try out what is there. They are not free (though some are) but they are dirt cheap, even within my meagre budget. | |

| Last time I messed with reliving my childhood via old arcade games emulated on my PC, I used MAME. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAME You can Google MAME and find lots of sites that have the MAME emulator, for example: http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/arcade/mame.html The key is finding the ROMS, or images of the software, for the old arcade games that run on MAME. They're not too hard to find (or at least they used to not be). I've got them archived somewhere on some old CD somewhere in the attic. | |
