Hay folks, being any old man I have not got into the gamming world yet. but I have so much stress on me here, I need something to relax me. So here go's a few million questions to you folks?

I am talking about stuff that doesn't cost a whole lot of green here and a bunch of garbage bugs on it.

Is there somewhere to get some of the old games like Pac Man, missle command, tank, Allian Attack, maybe some motorcycle and race car, Mario games that play on Win xp?

Is there a game called Godzilla or tron around?

What is some fun new games out there that are simple but plent of movement to play?

thake care and God Bless DC

I don't know about the really really old arcade classics but one old game I love (and helps with any stress) is Doom (I'm not talking about the newish game Doom 3)! Nothing is as good as pulling a chainsaw out and effortlessly cut some meat out some demons. It's simple to play (no aiming the y axis) and the collectors edition should be available in any games shop/website and if you can't find a copy there, try ebay. It shouldn't be too expensive as it's not rare (looking at $10-$15 in shops!). Collectors Editions should run on Windows XP.

For the games that you mentioned, you may get them on ebay but may not work on xp computers. Best bet woulld be buy some plug and play tv machines with the said games. There are a few about and for a decent price but I don't know where you could get them.

Thank Scottandfiddle and koala, I welcome the answers. Its easyer to handle job stress compara to dealing with your own folks stress and dealing with your own disabilities. I know the movie dune which was very good. might give it a try. I have a game that is a Combat flight simulator but I need a good game controler stick to play the game, using the key board just don't get it. Trying find out which one would be a good one with out spending a bunch of green, there is so many out there.

I had heard there is some old game out there for the netindo 64 but don't know where to get them either. DC
