Arcade Games

Since the first Microcomputers, Arcade Games and gaming have always been linked

in some fashion to the world of BBSs. It would make sense that if people used

computers to play, they'd be attracted to machines who were dedicated to nothing

but playing games.

It is important to mention, however, that dead-on collecting of Arcade Games

for the home didn't really take off until the 90's, except for a very small

group of people with the gumption and floor space. Therefore, the files in

this directory, that deal with the technical issues anyway, have a more recent

vintage to them.
