Retro Game Sites?

LukaBuka · 07-11-2005, 05:39 AM

Does anyone know of specialized retro style game site that would have a large selection of remakes of old classic games? The game examples would be Alpha Ball (Arcanoid) or

Bugatron (Galaga). I know there are a lot of games like these ones, but they seem to be scattered everywhere. It would be nice to know if there is one place to go for games like these. Not the old (abandonware) games but new ones based on the old ones. I hope I am clear.

I haven't found a site for those yet but I got a plug-n-play at Kmart last year, for Sega Genesis and it had one or two like that. Very old school, 80s stuff.

Also, someone's got to know where there is a site where you could play old arcade games like Pac Man, Street Fighter, etc etc...I'm sure it's somewhere!

You might try going to Giveaway of the Day - free licensed software daily, they have some games similar to those.

Sounds like a good idea! Geez, I kinda hope I don't like every game or I'd fill up my memory full of downloads!

Thanks!

The ultimate retro game site that I have stumbled upon was Game Menu :: Every Video Game :: Nintendo, Sega and more!, which features streaming and playable versions of classic NES and Sega games that us old farts grew up with.

There was one but for the life of me I cannot remember the name of the site. I know my brother has it in his favorites so I will ask him tomorrow and come back on here and post it. I know it had a lot of the old nintendo and atari games.

I am sorry but my brother doesn't have it anymore and cannot remember it. I know it had quite a few games though. I am going to see if I can find it running a search. This is going to bug me now.
