Just saw this on Yahoo today ... pretty funny stuff. Mostly console ports of arcade games.

... and on YouTube.

I'm using these and video-game cartoon intros (pole position, frogger, saturday supercade, etc) as screen savers.

Some of it is just painful to watch.   :P

Be seeing you,

Makes me think of this commercial.
Sure, Genesis was great (I'm a Sonic fan), but I would've gladly taken all those arcade machines. I'm sure most of you would agree.
