In case you missed it, GameDaily paid tribute to oldie-but-goodie retro games circa late 70s to mid 80s last week for Valentine's Day. The retrospective covers Dragon's Lair, Gauntlet, Asteroids, and Centipede to name a few and features interesting little factoids like this one on Pong: "The first Pong arcade machine was tested in two small California bars. Within a day, the game drew so much attention that people lined up outside the bars, waiting for them to open so they could play." How could people not line up for graphics that visceral!!?? Hit the link for the full old school skinny including a slew of most awesome classic commercials.
