I finally bought a pc made for this decade and was excited to search the software world for fun things to play. Having played "Tempest" during my early college years, I had wonderful memories of wasting book or food money at a corner restaurant trying to move up one more level. I was delighted to see this game available along with the other five "classics" on this inexpensive cd. My only complaint is that I miss the joystick (or was it a ball? Damn beer). I realize they can be purchased, and I may in the future, but for now a mouse or the arrow keys don't give me as quick and precise of movement as I remember from the arcade game. Maybe it's clouded memory, I'm certain it's at least partially atrophed skills, or maybe it's as one reviewer explained that the game is much "faster" in this version. For some of the other games this doesn't seem to be as much of a factor. I think "Centipede" plays as close to the arcade version as I could hope, and "Pong" (Holy Odyssey Batman!) is easy enough with a mouse. Regardless, this is a great value, beats hanging at the bowling alleys or laundramats that still have dusty original versions, and is a fun and nostalgic way to waste time on your computer (is that a redundant phrase?). Now, if I can only find a "Dragon's Liar" cd-rom...
