All you can eat, play 80's arcade games online for free or download
{dpadz-img}
Hoohah! Here’s a cornucopia of 80’s arcade hits that are all available online. Some require Java or Flash. Others are downloadable. Certain conversions are better than others and there is some duplication and knockoffs but still, it’s 80’s arcade manna from the video game gods.

PacMan, Donkey Kong, Defender (personal fave), Centipede, Missile Command, Galaga, Robotron, Tempest, Tetris, Spy Hunter, Space Invaders (natch), Zaxxon, Joust, Frogger, Qix, and more, all here. Warning! Time killer alert.
Must… get...back… to… work…
Simon, the Milton Bradley game, play it online

Welcome to the 80’s. I wonder how many of the Simon games are lying in people’s closets.
Kids, these were the kinds of primitive single purpose hand held games (well this was larger than most) your parents played when they were in Reeboks.
If you want to relive the joy of pounding on giant light buttons that bleep or just want a quick game. Here it is. Infuriating after a few beers.
Retro Gamer Mag from the UK

Why is it that all the cool computer and gaming magazines come from the UK? Here’s Retro Gamer a magazine dedicated just to retro gaming, and it looks like they’re already onto issue 12.
The UK tech mags are usually more expensive but they’re in high gloss color paper and usually comes with CD’s or a DVD chock full of stuff. Sure you can download the apps but it’s nice to have a catalog with the listings and no worries about backups. In a pinch you can grab the disc.
I guess part of the reason is that high speed connections in the UK are still more expensive than North America.
