hey all,

It seems that these days I am getting bored of the arcade machine. I spend more time dusting it off than playing it. Perhaps, there is something that I am missing. This where you come in.

I play mostly the classics and a few that I see recommended here and there on these forums, especially the competition games (although I am not very good at them, therefore will never post my scores), but I'm at a loss of what to play next. I need something that will hold my A.D.D. in check.

Any thoughts?

Avalanche - definitely addicting and very simple. This is the game that Activision's Kaboom copied...

is a spinner needed?

Kaboom was definitely an addictive game although the later levels were fairly rough for my young hands on the atari paddle.

Havok:
You could use a mouse, but I think that would make the game harder. Definitely use a spinner for maximum enjoyment!

Here's a fun game with a mouse\keyboard\gamepad that I am totally addicted to now. So much so that not only did I buy it, I bought the sequel!

At $10 each, they're hard to pass up. Not the best in cab friendly config however; you can only choose mouse, keyboard or gamepad for each player, and each player must be different (i.e. can't use keyboard for both), plus no ability to config the keys. However, just whip out a mouse and you're good (that's the best choice as you can control the speed at which the ship moves left-right when using the mouse).

Nice thing is you can download a fully playable version that gives you 60 minutes of gameplay to decide if the game is worth buying.
