The Internet Arcade

I was recently at a digital conference and was listening to the national known Leslie Fisher.  She was giving out a lot of great ideas which I have shared many of, but one of the tools took me back to grade school.

I remember when I was in 5th grade, and whenever we got work assigned in class, the boys would get it done as fast as we could so we could play Jetpack.  This was an old game on the even older computers that we were obsessed with.  That was one of the best computer games I have ever played as a kid and wish I could play it online these days to rekindle the flame.   

Well Leslie Fisher told the audience about a site called The Internet Arcade that has over 600 computer games which are from 1970-1990.  So what do you think I did? Yup, I did a quick search for Jetpack, and what do you think happened?  I will skip the little details and tell you that I spend a few hours last weekend playing Jetpack!  That game is still as fun as it used to be.  Thanks Leslie!!
