OMG! have i found the best site for free games.
http://www.1980-games.com/us/"

just thank me later. :whistling:
nintendo, remakes, action, and sport are the best ones to look at.. you will find the category at the top of the page.
make sure you click on the "correct flag" so its in english.

when i tried to play any of the Arcade games, i got "Applet(s) in this HTML page requires a version of java different from the one the browser is currently using."
so if you get a message like this, just try one of the other categorys, they will work fine

I remember this sucker. Great site.

Wow, they've made a Java port of MAME and a nes emulator too. Very very cool. The sound is a but funky on the computers here at school, but I suspect that since no one else is complaining it may go away when I try these on my home computer.

But still, way cool.

and, once again, the Z-Y problem strikes again...

WHY do people place controls on Z-key? Don't they have compassion for us non-english keyboard users who have Y and Z keys switched? :wallbash:

Really? I didn't know that was the case. I was going to suggest that there exists otehr version out there that map the keys better, Bank Panic is wonky the way they've set it up, but that wouldn't do any good becuse it's still the 'Z' key.

So how is your keyboard set up?

Instead of QWERTY my keyboard is QWERTZ. Also, I have to use ALT combinations for some characters you get with SHIFT combination on english keyboard (in english keyboard @ is SHIFT+2, on my it's ALT+V).

But none of that gets in the way like "the Z-Y problem" as I call it. It's acctualy quite usual problem with freeware games where key binding isn't possible. And in some old DOS games that recognise my keyboard as standard english keyboard. Newer (Windows) games do not have this problem (ok, there are few but NVM).

So aside from Y and Z being swapped there's no difference? What led to that brilliant decision? Some korean keyboard manufacture get it wrong and it became the standard? Like the "Hard Lock Cafe" shirt a buddy of mine bought, only with keyboards?

Sorry, it just seems rediculious that you would change those two keys and nothing else. What is the reasoning behind it I wonder?

No, there are other differences (like the @ sign I mentioned), but most of them are logical because they had to squeeze additional characters somewhere (e.g. after P key I have additional Š, Đ and Ž keysso the brackets had to be moved. But Z-Y thing... I can't explain that. Probably just to make it different (so they can refer to it as QWERTZ keyboard)... Idiots...
