First does not equal best, but having Pong in your basement is pretty ace.

Go forth and download. Relive the goodness.
Oh, and Galaga apparently only goes up to level 99. I got passed it once and it started over at 1. I got to 23 the second time through - 122 total.

PS: As for tetris, a grad student from UT who sat next to me in the plane was playing tetris on his gameboy. He made it cool. On the other hand, the Miss WSVG contestants who had no real gaming experience used "Tetris is the only game I'm good at" as an excuse for their "favorite game."
And I'd hate to say it, but "That makes baby Jesus cry."

SimCity 2000 stole a big chunk of my childhood.
I know what you mean, I spent countless hours trying to make the characters have sex with each other. In any case, it was much easier to commit arson and other petty crimes.

You sound suspiciously like my girlfriend. Do I take it you have also removed the stairs from the pool whilst the sims are swimming in order to drown them? Built walls around them to trap them within a 1x1 room until they die from hunger in a pool of their own excretions? EVIL I tells ya.
Though it was fun in Sims 2 when we got a sim swimming around in a concrete floor. Ah, the hilarity.

I have an Apple that my dad bought in '84 - the kind that boots off of 5.25"s - and Lode Runner is probably the game that gets played on that machine the most. It came with 7" greenscreen monitor, but I have it hooked up through a 17" TV so it outputs four colors.
Ahh, the memories.

The Underdogs, last I checked.

Best co-op game ever. And I include not only Doom but Sven Co-Op in this statement.
Same goes for Metal Slug 2 through 4.

I know the guys who made that game (acquaitences.) They're out in Chicago. They changed the name of their company to Mountain King Studios, and they're still developing cool shooters. You gotta download Juno:Nemesis; I don't much like the gameplay, but then it's based on Tempest and I didn't like that game either. Thing is, the look of the graphics will fry your brain.

Is, um....is "Fucking Pong" better than the first Pong? It sounds like more fun, but you never know.
It's awesome. You have two naked people projecting the ball between each other via vigourous pelvic thrusts.

Oooo! Sounds spiffy.
But...perhaps slightly risky for your average male, what with his "one weakness" right out there in the middle of his playing surface. I suppose, with enough practice, he could learn to use his mighty penis as a bat-type instrument! Oh, the mind boggles.
....what? Why are you looking at me like that?
