Thanks. But Q-Bert just wouldn't be the same on a home computer, without the mechanically produced *PLONK* sound at foot level of the arcade machine when Q-Bert falls off the edge of his world.

Ooooh, they have Centipede...goody!

Note to hephaestos=I've played with Mame before; it's pretty neat. I got addicted to Alpine Ski while doing so.

I don't know how this here laptop will take it, but it's worth another shot on the desktop machine.

Centipeeeeeeeeeeede!!!1!

Is it a tabletop game, or whatever you call it? That was my favorite way to play Centipede.

The local Vista has Ms Pac-Man and the locals still eye it warily.
