Joust. Man, I really love Joust. And now I can play it on my XBox.

Before Joust, though, there was Pong. I couldn't get enough of it.

My nephew thinks that I'm some kind of ancient luddite.

In the game you were the police car chasing bad guys, pulling them over and issuing tickets and such. Anytime you started the cop car would do a big burnout and you got extra points for stopping at the donut shop. Any help? For the life of me I can't remember the name of this game.

oops nah it can't be chase HQ... still thinking..

Dosbox. It emulates Dos environment and allows you to slowdown the CPU. I'm able to do XCOM UFO Defense on it fairly well.

I have quite a few favorite 80's pc video games but the one that I constantly come back to and play most often is Galaga. I remember back in the 7th grade I would spend a good portion of my allowance and time at the arcade playing this game. Now that I have it for the Playstation, I load it up occassionally and play a few rounds just to relax.
