Great games
Smittydc:
Just when you think you've played them all -- I recently dug up some classics that I had literally forgotten about until I heard the opening tunes and was transported back to the stinky arcade rooms I used to play them in...
Bank Panic
Rastan
Rally X
Robotron (ok, hadn't forgotten about this one - just forgot how damn much fun it was!)
All of these have amazingly addictive gameplay...
Now does anyone remember the name of that driving game where you could earn either angel or devil points by dodging or running over pedestrians? It was back in the rally x days...

It's funny how different games really take over.
Timepilot I can play daily. I want to buy a happs super just to play it (compititions now... what rounded for some games).
194x series. Kids like it!
But my big suprise was all the new games. I was always a classic freak and didn't like many of the new games that came out. So I never played them. Now I find a lot of time looking at games I've never heard about and trying them (and liking them). Sometimes I do a dir roms\a*.zip /od just to find the biggest file for each name and trying them.
Dont' forget (non-mame) that DL and SpaceAce are GREAT also!

I had forgotten how addictive Sharpshooter can be... 'course, that requires an Act-Labs gun....
Going the other direction, I used to be completely addicted to Space Wars, Warrior and Rip-Off, but I just can't get into them anymore...

There are two games that I play every single day after I get home from work. First I play about 4 games of Robotron. Always trying to get a high score, always trying to make it by the brain wave with the little kids as the people.
Second I play a game that I discovered after I upgraded my cab OS to WinXP. It's called Spider Solitaire and it's absolutely the best card game I have ever played. It's incredibly addicting and it is wife friendly as well. I put my fiance on it the other night, and she sat there for 2 straight hours playing. I kept coming in and saying "honey, do you want to quit and spend some time together?" and she would just reply "in a minute, just one more game...".
Smittydc:
Time pilot has been an ongoing battle in my house... though now that the high score is up around 290,000 it takes too long to get your name back on top.
I have to confess that I got ---my bottom--- handed to me so harshly by Robotron that I went and turned down the difficulty settings... :o (and this is the ONLY game I've done this for. In general, I refuse to make the games easier/ increase number of men/etc)
Back on the classic games topic, I was bummed when I found out Biplane will probably never be emulated -- that was one of the best 2-player games ever.
