It's a simple game with simple graphics, but it has one of the most vital assets for any computer game — gameplay. Modern games seem to forget this with their fancy "3D graphics" and "millions of dollars". All you need is a pointy green thing which shoots white stuff at a rampaging invasion of wobbling blobs. They don't make 'em like they used to. - Neave Games

Stop the attack of waves of space invaders. You can hide behind the bases and look out for the flying saucers for extra points. Another Arcadeo.com favorite.

 

Snake

This game has been around since sometime last century, but it only recently took off since it came as standard on Nokia mobile phones.

Eat the food and get bigger and try not to eat yourself.

Use the arrow keys to guide the snake. Press 'P' to pause the game.

Here's a fantastic idea for a brand new computer game. Firstly, there's this yellow blob (with a mouth) which has to roam round a maze swallowing little pills. Meanwhile, four ghosts (named Blinky, Pinky, Inkey, and of course, Clyde) are chasing you as you listen to a high-pitched wailing noise.

Eat the dots without getting caught by the ghosts. If you eat apower pill then you can go after the ghosts. Look out for the bonus fruit!

Use the arrow keys to move pacman.

 

Asteroids

Let me take you back... back to a world before pixels. In those days, all people had were lines. A company called Atari had recently wowed crowds with their clever use of lines in a game called Pong, but now line technology had advanced. It was 1979, and lines could be made to look like spaceships and big rocks and flying saucers... as long as you squinted a little.

Shoot the rocks!
