I was a youngster when the first video games came out, but our family bought all of the home video games that came out on the market.  If it was not available for home purchase, I went to the shopping malls and video arcades to play the games.  I have skipped many a supper (much to my mother’s or wife’s chagrin) because I was too interested and involved in playing a video game.  I have always enjoyed playing the older (now called classic) video games. 

My wife tells me that she used to be pretty good at the Tetris games.  When I see her pack items into the grocery cart when we go shopping, I have to believe her!  When we moved here to Virginia, I was surprised to find that I still have the original Pong game console!  And then we found the old Pacman games, too!  When we found them we sure had a good laugh!

 
CDEarth has put together a software program called Greatest Classic Video Games CD that is a compilation of ten classic video games that I am thinking about ordering.  I was thinking about telling my wife that I was going to order it for our kids to play, but I don’t think she’ll buy that for a minute.  I think she’ll realize that I’m really buying the games for myself.

Looking on the Internet, I found this press release about the games:

CD Earth LLC,(www.cdearth.com) is excited to announce the release of the Greatest Classic Video Games CD now available for Windows PC and Mac OSX.

The new CD includes 10 classic games and will be a sure hit with anyone who played the original video games. Stack falling bubbles, break through brick walls, stack colors against the clock, eat cookies while avoiding pesky ghosts, pop balloons with harpoons, smash tomatoes plus rescue a princess all while putting your spaceship back together.

Preview of some of the games on the CD:

1. Break through over 50 unique, challenging levels. Power the bouncing ball to smash through brick walls. Lots of power-ups plus extra balls, energy balls, extra lives, weapons, glue, bonus floors, paddle expansion and extra score make the game even more fun.
2. Gobble up cookies while escaping from hungry ghosts in this updated version of the classic arcade game.
3. Smiling bubbles. Don’t let the friendly smiles fool you. Group the falling bubbles to make them explode before they reach the top.
4. Pop balloons with a harpoon and avoid being hit in this fast-paced game.
5. Run and jump through multiple worlds, fighting off enemies by jumping on them or bumping them from below.
6. Eat your tomatoes. How many tomatoes can you smash in ten short minutes? If you have the time to spare, this game has the vegetables just waiting to be eliminated!
7. Colorful, addicting game where you quickly lineup blocks of the same color before time runs out.
8. Guide a lost traveler from outer space, through towers and across cemeteries to collect what he needs to rebuild his spaceship.
