Can't say it's happening with me, but I've heard the same from others. Seems to depend on your system specs and your browser.

2015-01-26 03:06:16 +0000 UTCDefinitely wanna cover the MS Arcade series sometime, those were quite influential to me as well

2015-01-26 03:05:44 +0000 UTCHeh, I do wonder how it'd go over... I mean, half the app stores now are just knock-offs and clones.

2015-01-26 03:05:21 +0000 UTCOdd indeed, these were hard to miss if you went searching for any kind of arcade titles!

2015-01-26 03:04:57 +0000 UTCIf you released Champ Kong today, you'd get ceased and desisted so hard, you'd be seeing stars. And that's if you didn't sell it at all lol.

2015-01-25 19:10:51 +0000 UTCMan, I haven't played those games in so long. I never played shareware versions of these arcade games, but I did play Microsoft Arcade (and the other follow-ups, Return of the Arcade and Revenge of the Arcade... nice naming there, Microsoft :P) and that's what got me hooked and interested in these kinds of games. Even remember playing Missile Command on the Atari way back when. I need to play more of the legit arcade versions of these games... I've only played like, Ms. Pac Man, Centipede, and Dig Dug from actual cabinets, haha. :)

2015-01-25 15:31:01 +0000 UTCI never got to play all of them back in the day - but the ones I did play, I did quite enjoy. Chuffed to see that he's doing homebrew stuff for the 2600. I really should dig mine out and AV mod the darn thing so I can check out some of those homebrew carts for it.

2015-01-25 11:52:00 +0000 UTCOddly enough, I completely missed these growing up. :o No idea how, considering I had internet access fairly early in its existence. :P

2015-01-25 08:21:34 +0000 UTCOh nice! If I ever get a 2600 I will have to check those out. Atari was just generally too far behind my time for me to have much interest in it. I have some compilations and I've tried emulation but it just gets too simple for my taste. Nice to see mr Champ still active though!

2015-01-25 08:02:49 +0000 UTCNice! The full games were later released as freeware and are linked to in the video description :) And Champ Games sort of made a comeback several years ago, with Atari 2600 homebrew: <a href="https://atariage.com/programmer_page.html?ProgrammerID=332" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://atariage.com/programmer_page.html?ProgrammerID=332</a>

2015-01-25 06:59:05 +0000 UTCOH MY GOD! THE CHAMP GAMES! I LOVED THESE AS A KID! Found them on a shareware CD my dad had and fell in love with them! Amazing arcade conversions if you ask me! Too bad Champ isn't around anymore, but you can find the games floating on the web, so they're not that hard to find.
