Play Classic Video Games In NY, At Home

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the emulating-the-classics dept.

Iphtashu Fitz writes "If you'd like to play classic arcade games from the 1980s, then it might be time for you to take a trip to New York, according to Wired News, since the American Museum of the Moving Image is holding an exhibition called Blip! where you can play a selection of the classics, including some of those referenced in an earlier exhibition. Also mentioned on their site is the X-Arcade cabinet for playing arcade-style classics at home through emulation." Much easier than building your own cabinet.

    Pick up a copy each of Namco Museum and Midway Arcade Treasures. Plenty of arcade nostalgia! I have it for XBox, but I believe it is also available on other platforms as well.
