I chose a Gameboy through a bonus type thing at work for 5 years service, but it didn't come with a game, so off to K Mart to see what's available. There it was, six Game & Watch games on the one cartridge including my second favourite, 'Donkey Kong Jr', in both classic (original) form and modern. That first night, I was up to 12:30 (on a school night) playing like I was 14. Coooool! Hey, I may be able to top this.

I've got a whole CD with dozens of old arcade games that have been cloned to PC. Loads of fun! Oooohhh… Tony… I’ve got a whole CD with dozens of old arcade games that have been cloned to PC.

Or for extra nostalgia, run a BBC or C64 emulator to run an old version. It's funny to think that a game written 20 years ago on 8-bit platforms allowed such freedom, had such wide bounds... something which even now is very rarely equalled.
