Driko's '80s Arcade and Computer Links

I was such a little mall rat/computer geek! OK fine, I still am a little :-). In any case, hanging out at the arcade trying to master the newest game was one of my favorite pasttimes. Did anyone else have a birthday party at an arcade? Man, do I miss that! In case you are unaware, there are emulators out now that can play almost any arcade game (or home gaming system/computer) created; check out these emulation links for more info! I also played with (and sometimes even attempted to program on) most of the home gaming systems and early computers out there, so links reminding me of of them also remind me when 64kb of memory was some hot shit! ;-)

By the way, all of these cool screen shots came from the MAME32 QA Test & Art Dept.'s site. In case you didn't know, there is a great arcade emulator called MAME that lets you play over 2000 of your favorite games! Check these links for more info and to download free (!) software!
