This is screwed up! I haven't played space invaders since the 70's and I can't get the hang of using the key board. I used to rock at this game! I would roll the score over. Used to play for drinks at the bar I worked at. Now I can barely get through the first level. I'm bummed!!!

The games may not be done the best, I agree. I often forget they are there. Did not realize anyone played them either. But they are fun to waste a few minutes.

The game is just fine...it's me. I can't fire with my left hand and control with the right. I tried turning the keyboard upside down but that messed me up too, if you hit left, you go right and vice a verse. Guess I just lost my touch.

I struggled with them too. If you want a flashback, they actually sell new versions of Atari's with all the classics you know. They look like the old system with the same joystick and everything. The only difference is there are no cartridges. The games are all loaded in the system.

i understand, but some of the games do not convert well at all. Arcade with joysticks are always better.

You can't play these games without a joysticks. It simply isn't the same. But I don't believe I will go out and spend money on one, so keyboard will have to do.

How did I miss the Arcade area?! I am going to have to check it out, because I love classic games. Hope I can play the games on my keyboard.
