I always liked the old arcade games from the 80’s that you never see anymore, and you can play them on the computer now. You can get an emulator to run the games at: www.vintagegaming.com/
(I use Mame, myself, it runs the most games),
and you can get the roms for the games at www.mame.dk/
For more fun with old games, get yourself a C= 64 (Commodore 64 to you folks who got into computers around the PC-Comp. 486) emulator at: http://ltd.simplenet.com/c64/
I’d recommend the CCS64 myself…
For all of your gaming needs! A great and cheap way to play ancient games (from the 80’s) like Tapper, Toy Bizarre, Park Patrol and more! Sort of midway between the truely ancient Atari 2600 games and today’s “takes 167k just to play Solitaire” PC world.

I spend most of my time in Spades, where there are usually thousands of people playing. They also have a neat rating system so you can tell if people have a tendency of dropping out of games, & you can decide not to waste your time starting a game with them.
