Yes, this is me shamelessly looking for blog ideas...I have a few more posts prepped for my Old Game Tuesday feature, but I need more suggestions.  What old video games do you still love?  Wish you could play (or do still play)?

Simple games are often the best.

My favorite arcade game is still  Tempest.

I never really played Tempest.  I do love many of the classic arcade games, before they cost a fortune to play.

There's a site that allows you to play any classic videogame for free.
but only on the condition that you cannot save your game.
one of my favorites is prince of persia.

Contra, you say?  Yeah, I've played it and beaten it, WITHOUT the Konami code.  Aaaand now the music is stuck in my head.

A buddy of mine and I spent a couple of hours playing The Nightmare on Elm Street NES game last night, and I don't know how to feel about it.

Never tried that one.  I hated scary stuff so younger-me would've avoided anything Nightmare on Elm Street related.

It wasn't one I had played as a kid, but he just happened to have a copy.  Then we played the SNES game Bust-A-Move.

Feeling the urge to play FF3/6 again.  Maybe I have some savestates somewhere...

I've never really been a fan of Final Fantasy myself.

They were just the right amount of epic for me, and since I was never very good at twitch games, even when I played them a lot, I could actually FINISH a FF game.  1, 2/4, 3/6.  Never finished 7 or 8 though I did play a lot of them.  Have 12, never really started it.
