When Rob O'Hara needs a serious video game fix, he unwinds a black rubber joystick and plays a few rounds of "Space Invaders" on his Atari 2600, vintage 1982. The 30-year-old networking engineer owns newer Xbox, PlayStation 2 and GameCube consoles, but for a true gaming geek like O'Hara, nothing tops the blocky graphics and simple sound effects of retro video games. "Playing games was a big part of my childhood," says the Yukon, Okla. man. "Back then, it seems like games were more family-oriented, and as a result, families ended up playing a lot of games together." | ||

Man, I love classic games. Nostalgia for the olden days, I suppose. But I love those crappy 2D graphics. Some how makes it more fun. Plus I owned an Atari 2600 way back and had so many games. I loved Yar's Revenge.
Good times. There should be more old games re-released. |
