Remember the cool games they used to have, like M.U.L.E. or Archon? Remember how they games looked and played just like they did in the arcade.
Man I miss that stuff.
Tell me your favorite games and/or memories.
Are any of those games available today without having to buy another Atari 800 and the cartridges, etc. Any small console or controller with them built in? I know they have some, but they are all of the old 2600 (VCS) games, not like the 8-bit computers.

Man why do you have to take me back there. Ya that was pretty cool back in the day. Hey I see those old games on game sites all the time. So many infact that I can't even begin to tell you where to look. But you can start here. http://www.concentric.net/~Ktchang/emulator/other_games.shtml Hey I saw some listings on EBay for Atari 800's awhile back, I wonder if they are still there. My favorite game of all time is an old arcade style, "Missle Command" I played some on my little bros 800 but I was into Motorcycles and Surfing at the time. Good luck with your journey, I'm going back to the present now. "PEACE"

There is an illegal way to play to your hearts content. I did it once with the SNES but I sorrta fell behind in school because I got addicted. A simple illegal way is called Emulators and Roms
The emulator is program which mimics the actual game device on your computer. The Rom are the game cartigies that the game that allows you to play the game. You can make your own personal settings with the keyboard.
Man was it fun I was slacking in school, but maybe you won't if you have the power to control yourself:

As for the games they might be harder to find.

But do keep in mind I am not suppose to tell you how to get it to work well on the forums anyways if you have more questions you can email me support@ar.mbhosting.com (no roms at that website)
My Favorite game system is the SNES go Zelda! and Mario Kart

There used to be an emulator called MAME32 for the old games. If you do a search for MAME32 and you can find futher info. There are *some* legal ROMs but most are illegal.
