Old School Games!

How could I ever forget going to the Carousel skating rink on 78 highway and playing such greats as Defender and Joust? To a boy of 8, these were the greatest times of my life. I sweated all week around the house doing chores so that I could get my 10 bucks to go skating. Of couse I liked to skate but that isn't what ran through my tiny brain every night.
It was Robotron! This is a game of white knuckle action. There were women and children to save. Millions of evil red martian men to zap. Big brained killers who turned innocent civilians into hyped-up zombies who thirsted for my blood. My dreams were filled with schemes to beat the game. Too bad that after I payed for my skates I only had 3 dollars left. That meant only twelve games! Thirty six lives!!!!! Not enough time! Not enough opportunities to save the Earth! OH THE HUMANITY OF IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!
Now I play for free online and cry for my embarrassing childhood.
(Why did I have to be born in the generation that Break-Dancing and Mullets were socially acceptable? Don't get me started on parachute pants! I never had a pair and cried over it! Really! I found a pair at the thrift store in '92 and had to get them just so I could get over the trauma.)
Oh well, click the header and head over to Shockwave to re-live the glory days of gaming. The shockwave player is a small download and so far I haven't seen any spam or spyware attached to it so, enjoy!
