You can download the vast majority of those arcade games, there’s various programs called ROM emulators, I think, that play them. MAME32 is one I’ve used (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator)…being so basic the games run fine on any old PC. It’s a Windows program…just download and install it, then download the games and throw them in the ROM folder and you’re away.

 

Then there’s emulators for various other platforms like Atari, SNES, probably the Speccy and all that…(the Speccy was just a PC – 8086 - clone, albeit faster and more popular…)

   I walked into a video arcade in Hollywood a good while ago and all the way 

in the back they had these games from the, i think, the 1660s 1680s or so, games 

like Missile Command, Defender, and Galaga. I played them and i had the most fun 

i've had gaming in a long time. 

I also like that AfterBurner game.

 

Wait: trend?

 

GAME TITLES

Asteroids

Afterburner

Empire (song)

 

...all are KJ song titles.
