It was a fun game, but now it appears to be gone.

Might I point you in the direction of the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator project (MAME). This is a project to keep all of those old hardare games alive for future generations. Basically software emulation of all those old arcade games. Now to be clear, it's emulation of the hardware, then you load the game roms on top of it, so it is identical to the original arcade machine.

So download the emulator (I recommend mame32 as it has a nice windows front end) from

http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/arcade/mame.html

then go find the arcade roms you need at a site such as this

http://www.romnation.net/srv/roms/mame/j.html

All the really old (1980's) games are freely available.

But to be fully legal, be careful to only download the roms of games that you already own

Anyone remember Adventure? xyzzy

Your age can be determined by the amount of stuff that was important to you that is being 'preserved' for future generations.

Multics still might be the best operating system ever devised, it is a shame that Gates didn't attend MIT!

Was space invaders the first arcade video game? I remember playing pinball all the time and then one day this space invaders game showed up and everyone started playing it. I was glad because then there was no longer a wait to play a pinball machine.

Pong

I had the pong TV game but do not remember ever seeing one in the arcade - well pizza shop. Doesn't seem like arcades even existed until video games. Before that it was just pinball machines in the local pizza shop for me.
