You can't play them, but essentially an IMDB for videogames: MobyGames

Sadly, no "Toejam and Earl." But I'll be playing "Sonic the Hedgehog" all afternoon and pretending I still live in a dorm.

This was made for the office—it even pauses the game if you click off the window.

I second the Toe Jam & Earl. But the Konami code is in play, so I forgive.

Gorilla rocked. That was some hardcore qbasic programming.

A housemate and I used to play best-of-101 matches of Gorilla back in my school days, and turned it into a drinking game; you got hit, you took a drink. Good times, good times....*sigh*

RBI anyone? I don't see this site staying up for very long. Pretty cool though.

Does anyone else remember Wizard Of Wor? They had one at a laundromat I worked at one summer (mid 80s). Most of my pay was taken by this insanely addictive game.

The best part of Gorilla was when you were learning to program and would change the radius and trajectories of the banana-missles. GORILLA NUCLEAR WAR!!! (Wizard of Wor was awesome too. I even had a strategy guide.)

I love me some old-school games, but it there were a website that could give me Katamari Damacy online, I'd send them a lot of money.
