- but at the time it seemed like 'space-age' technology :-) .

Frogger

Here to Play
Strangely addictive game that I remember playing on my old Amstrad
PC back in the day when Windows and MS-DOS was still in its embryotic
stages. You are the frog and your task is to make it across the
road without being hit by traffic, and finally make it across
the river by skilfully hitching a ride on the floating logs. Sounds
simple enough, but it's the end pockets which are the hardest
- and watch out for those pesky crocodiles!
Special Instructions: Use your directional keys to move.

Donkey Kong
Click
Here to Play
This classic game first appeared at the arcades in 1981, and was
the first to introduce such characters as Mario, Donkey Kong and
Peach. Donkey Kong was the product of a Nintendo artist named
Shigeru Miyamoto. Miyamoto did the entire game himself (even the
music), the only help he got was with the name. He and a manager
decided they'd call it "Donkey Kong" because "kong" would imply
a gorilla was involved, and "donkey" was used because their Japanese-to-English
dictionary said it meant "stubborn, wily, and goofy." The story
: Donkey Kong has stolen Mario's girlfriend and taken her to the
top of a steel structure. You move Mario over girders and up ladders,
leap over tumbling barrels, dodge lethal fireballs and jump onto
fast-moving elevators, trying to rescue Mario's girlfriend from
Donkey Kong
Special Instructions: Space Bar to jump; Use your left/right
arrow keys to move from left to right, etc. To climb ladders use
your Up arrow Click

Tetris is life. Think about it : As time passes, life's little
problems incessantly pour down in chunks. Somehow, someway, you
must conquer these hurdles, fitting them together so you can move
on. Ok, maybe I'm taking the metaphor too far. In any case, this
is one of the all time classic games and it was Alexey Pajitnov
who created Tetris on an Electronica 60 while working for the
Academy of Sciences in Moscow. Tetris was released in the United
States in 1986. The game's popularity was tremendous, and many
were instantly hooked - it was a software blockbuster. Now

Asteroids
Click
Here to Play
In the years after Star Wars, anything involving outer space,
speedy interstellar craft and dangerous battles was considered
golden. Into this arena of sci-fi fantasy came Atari’s Asteroids,
one of the most enduring hits in video game history. Atari’s recipe
for addiction consisted of the following: one screen, five buttons,
one ship, a few UFO’s, and several ship-smashing asteroids. Smack
dab in the center of the action was your triangle-shaped spacecraft,
adrift in a sea of space rocks. The Blasting large, slow-moving
asteroids turned them into two medium-sized, speedier asteroids.
Another blast at the medium asteroids split them into small, fast-moving
asteroids, which could be vaporized with one more shot. Thus,
if you started firing wildly into fields of big asteroids, you
would likely end up in an even bigger mess than you started with,
facing a swarm of tiny, zippy asteroids. The controls allow you
to rotate left and right, thrust, warp into hyperspace, and most
importantly, to fire your blaster at the rocky menaces. For a
generation of video game addicts, Asteroids will always mean simple
graphics, stressful and addictive gameplay, and dreams of high-scoring
glory. Now Featuring High Scores!
Special Instructions: Use your mouse to click start, Space
bar = Fire , Up arrow key to thrust, Left/Right arrow keys to
