As you know I love arcade games, especially those of the early 80s where I whiled away many hours throwing all the quarters I could into such classics as Asteroids and Battlezone. Many of these arcade games are thankfully now available via either port of emulation on the modern systems and I have a whole passel of them. One group of arcade games that eludes this porting or emulation are the Atari Games (post 1984 and includes such titles as Roadblasters, Marble Madness, and Xybots), Bally/Midway (includes such titles as Satan's Hollow, Domino Man and Tapper) and Williams Electronics (includes such titles as Defender, Blaster, Defender II/Stargate). All of these games are through a series of purchases and mergers under the umbrella of Warner Brothers Interactive. For some reason Warner Brothers Interactive is not interested in releasing these titles for the modern systems even though the flower of nostalgia for 80s era gaming is in full bloom. Fortunately these titles can be played on the older systems like the Game Cube so there's that. Meanwhile, I for one am not holding my breath in waiting for Warner Brothers Interactive to reverse course on this matter.

I bought one of those emulator things from TikTok. Has one of my favorite old arcade games, Jungle Hunt.
