I'm looking forward to getting the two classic games: Dig Dug and Gauntlet.

Wow, has Gauntlet not aged well...... I paid 200 pts. and I paid 200 pts too much....

Puzzle Fighter has been like crack however..... Insanely hard achievements though....

You're so right about Gauntlet. I'm almost sorry I paid the 200 points.

Puzzle Fighter almost makes me wish I had a high def TV.

I liked the later 3D versions of the Gauntlet games. The hack and slash games had their moments.

But that limited 2D top down, was a symbol of what games were back then..... A relentless onslaught of enemies until you finally caved and surrendered.

I play BioShock now and see how far we've come.

Me: "When I was your age we didn't have cutscenes, and we liked it!"

No we didn't.....

OK, Dig Dug is still fun...... Dropping boulders on a walking tomato with a divemask never gets old.....
