Like Major League Baseball, Mario Bros, etc? I know I've seen the controllers at the mall a coulple years back that stored a lot of Nintendo games within them and all you had to do was plug them into the TV but now I can't seem to find them anywhere!

I pumped in quite a few quarters into those coin-op (typo in review) machines too - mostly Galaxian and BattleZone. DigDug was fun but a bit nerve wracking. I don’t remember Bosconian either.

I miss pacman. It is one of the greatest video games ever! I could've sworn I seen one at the wal-mart here, although it had other games on the same thing. I might just be imagining things again...

I got the SpongeBob games for my girls (2 1/2 and 4). The 4 year old is able to play the bubble (breakout) game, but not the others. The sounds emitted from the game remind me of a gameboy and the graphics are a bit chunky, but the girls are having fun, so it was worth the $20. L.B. Wal-Mart sells these for $18.77 each.

In 10 years time, we'll have a keyboard/mouse combo that we can plug into the TV, which contains "classic" games like Doom, Doom 2, System Shock, Deus Ex, Ultima Underworld etc etc and (hopefully) it'll cost about $20 as well! I wonder if there's a market for Activision to sell their Zork & Infocom games in the same way -- standalone keyboard attached to the TV. And what about the Lode Runner series, pac man clones and early Ultima series eh? :) Man.

The hardest game to understand might be Patrick's Maze Game. But only because there are montsters to keep away from and some puzzle solving involved. FineJames: Yes, this same company also sells an Atari games system, and a Namco system which looks like a baby arcade box. It includes Pacman. I wish now they would have sent me this one instead of the Spongebob game ;) Rendition:

The one in Boardman, OH is where I saw the Colecovision and ran home crying that my 2600 wasn't as cool.

I had forgotten all about that store. I grew up in NE Ohio and we had two of them near us. One was well, crappy and the other was scary. We used to go there all the time (at least that's what I remember). They always had a bunch of Atari 2600 games. I still remember them selling off the remaining games at deep discounts when I was in high school. Thanks for bringing back some classic gaming a shopping memories! Wow, Hills!
