I can't believe I forgot about Atari. Man, I loved my atari. Pac-Man, Cenitpede, Frogger, and Missle Command are just a few of the many games we had. I think we had close to 30 games, if not more. Did anyone have a fave game?
I liked TANK best. I happen to have a floppy with all the games you mentioned and they WILL play on my PC. They come with a small emulator.
Here's a link to Stella, which is one of the best Atari Emulators out there, as well as a few ROMs (games).

The Atari was my first video game system. Well, it wasn't technically mine, it was my mom's, which I think she bought for my brother. Here are the games i can remember: Robotron (I think that's what it was called) Ghost Busters Joust Pac Man Super Mario Bros (yes, it was on Atari before nintendo ever had it!) asteroids space invaders centipede I think thats the whole list. Christ, I was like 4. . . The system was technically before my time, but I played it anyway.
I don't know if people are aware of the availability of DOS games and others such as Atari games. I downloaded my old favourite, digger, (www.digger.org) and was loving it. It was great to reunite myself with it.
Not Atari but around the same era. I still have a c64 that I like to play the old games on. Jumpman was always my fave, nothing like running from psychotic chickens and dopplegangers of yourself. http://www.c64gg.com/index.html
I've got ever Atari game ever published, as well as every NES, SNES, Coleco, Sega etc. On one DVD with emulators for my X-Box.... Thousands of games I will never have time to play
