Or jump into the action of Missile Command and shoot down enemy missiles before they can take out your base. Test your arm at Pong and try to score the most goals or destroy blocks in Super Breakout by bouncing a moving ball off of the blocks. Or have a blast playing Asteroids or Tempest. Relive the fun games from your younger days or get introduced to some classic arcade games for the first time.

These games are so easy to learn how to play that you can show your kids what real video games were like! Atari Classic Arcade is a game that brings the arcade to your computer. Six different Atari classics are included in this download. Asteroids and Pong are just two of the games you will get to play. Simulated arcade machines will add to the nostalgic feel for you older gamers. The programmers did a great job recreating the old games right down to the smallest details.

Asteroids, Centipede, Missile Command and Tempest are all shooter games. In Asteroids you must pilot your ship around the screen destroying asteroids and the occasional alien craft while also dodging the asteroids. Missile command puts you in charge of defending the cities from missile attacks by shooting them out of the air.

Pong and Super Breakout are paddle games where you must keep a ball in the game area. Super Breakout requires you to knock out all the bricks before you can proceed to the next level, but you must also keep the ball from falling through the bottom of the screen. Each game uses a different set of keyboard keys since each game requires different controls. Brickbuster is a straightforward Breakout clone - probably the blandest and least fun of the bunch.

Lastly, we have Fighter Ace, a very fun Sopwith-style dogfighting game for one or two players. This is my favorite game of the pack, although it does get repetitive after a few tries and not as varied as Sopwith. All in all, Classic Arcade Games for Windows is a good time waster if you have a few minutes to spare at the office. Nothing in the package will make you uninstall Microsoft's excellent Entertainment Pack for Windows series, but they are fun enough to come back to once in a long while.
