Gaming - The way it should be

Thats right folks, todays modern era of gaming has pretty graphics and some decent story lines, but nothing matches the old-school twitch reflex games of yesterday. Remember the going to the arcade when it was actually fun? Rows of games all calling out with their signature sound effects - even some pinball games like Black Knight. The lights were always muted and the music was always loud. I remember the greats like Galaxian, Qix, Tempest, Defender, Elevator Action, Joust, and the all time great...

The games changed, but never could they compete with classics like Robotron. Soon there was Tron, Galaga, Rastan, Road Blasters, the list goes on...

Joust!! I remember Joust!! Now that was fun! Hey, next time we get together, lets go to an arcade? How about meeting in Chitown and going to an arcade for old times sake?
