Classic 80's Arcade Games - the ultimate Time Waster
If you grew up in the 80's in the golden age of video game arcades, you're going to like this Time Waster. Classic 80's Arcade Games is actually a mega time waster, since it's a site dedicated to 80's arcade games, with tons of free online-playable games. Games like 1943, Commando, Contra, Defender, Dig Dug, Frogger... the list just goes on and on.
The games are built on various platforms - Shockwave, Flash, Java, and even DOS and Windows games. Some are offered on multiple platforms, and some have downloadable emulator ROMs available.
It's not clear to me what the legality of these games is; in most cases they are abandonware, but I imagine that copyrights still exist for many of them. Classic gaming is big business, and even though underground trading of game ROMs for MAME setups has been going on for years, that still doesn't legitimize the practice.
In any event, Classic 80's Arcade Games is a wonderful compilation of the games from my youth that I loved. I hope it doesn't go away any time soon.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
