Raise your hand if you’ve ever worn a blister or a bruise on your hand from playing too many video games on your old Atari 2600 and that simple, black stick of a controller with a single fire button.
Now you can relive some of those old-school, Atari 2600 games right on your computer. And even better you can play some of your favorite Atari 2600 games online for free!
Games like Adventure, Asteroids, Battlezone, Crystal Castles, Lunar Lander, and even Yar’s Revenge.
I’m not sure if I was the only one, but I thought the "safe zone" in Yar’s Revenge was the coolest video game graphics I’d seen when I was a kid. Now it’s just a bunch of flashing squares on the screen. The challenge of the game is still fun though.
The Atari Arcade site let’s you choose which games you want to play and challenge the world with your own high score.
If you really want to rock it old-school, pick up this USB enabled version of the classic Atari joystick here.
