    I have this unit at my house and it still works. In college, we used to duel on it on Friday nights and the loser had to buy the beer. You can find them at garage sales and ebay for about $10.

    Ok, I'm officially old now.

    To me, classics are the true old school games: Atari, ColecoVision, Vectrex. Everyone remembers the BIG classics (PacMan, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders - expecially the old cocktail-table coin-op models), but I always preferred the somewhat lesser-known classics: Jungle King (coin-op), Tempest (coin-op), Montezuma's Revenge (Coleco), Pitfall II (Atari) - so much better than the first, Venture (Coleco)...

    But no single video game got more of my time, attention, or quarters than Dragon's Lair.

    I'm with ya...

    Classic gaming, to me, does NOT include the Super Nintendo, NES, Sega... etc.

    Classic gaming is Atari, Colecovision, Intellivision, and earlier.

    Atari 2600 - Adventure
    Intellivision - I don't remember the name, but it was a battleship game. Maybe it was called Battleship? Also, their football game was pretty good.
