Nothing like playing the classic video games / myLot

Who could forget all those games you played as a kid when you fired up that Atari or Magnavox Odyssey back in '72? Six generations (of video game consoles) later, it's still hard to forget some of those games today. Are there any classic video games that you still love to play? Some games that I still play are Pong, Frogger, and Mario Bros.

I'm into old school gaming too. I take some time out to play mainly NES titles and some arcade games on the MAME. The best thing about the older games is that you don't have to devote so much time to them to get into the mood. Pick up the controller for 15 minutes and then get back to work refreshed. I'll try to stick to games that haven't been already mentioned: Megaman (NES), MetalGear (NES), Kid Icarus (NES), Bump N' Jump (NES), Turbo (arcade), Bubble Bobble (arcade), and Pitfall (Atari).

I'm addicted to Mike Tyson's Punch Out. That's probably my favorite classic game of all time. I still play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Metroid and a bunch of other NES and SNES games.

I'll often find myself playing Brick on my iPod. I never get bored of it. :D

I like to play from time to time the classic Castlevania games, Ninja Gaiden, Mario, Legend of Zelda, Mega Man, Turtles games and just about it. I would play some games on the Atari 2600 like Demon Attack, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Megamania, and probably some others along the way. I've never owned a Magnavox Odyssey and by the time I was born (1984), they were gone.
