    You can't really play this game without thinking of the dark, sweat-filled arcades that're now long gone, or of those plastic-sheathed sitdown machines you still sometimes see in bars.

Some of my all time favorites like Defender and Spy Hunter are present though there are a few duds like Bubbles.
