Somebody said how cool it would be to have an arcade that brought together loads of classic games, but I can't find which conversation it was in now. Anyway, tucked away under Brighton Pier there IS such a place! Pacman (AND Ms Pacman), Space Invaders, Tetris, Bubble Bobble, and loads of others, all on the original machines. And the best thing is that they still have the original coin slots and only cost 10 or 20p. Joy and rapture. I spent all afternoon there.

There are many emulators(programs that act like the original machine) out there, that let you play a lot of those games, being MAME one of the most comprehensive (over 1400 games, and growing...) list. You are required to own the machine to play it, but most are now in the public domain, and are ready to play! Check http://mame.retrogames.com
Enjoy!!!
