My mother-in-law was telling me about how when she was newly married to her hubby, how much he loved video games.  She was reminiscing about how they bought the original Pong game and used to have parties with their friends coming over to their house and having Pong competitions.  She told me about many times they had huge fights over how he came home late for supper many times because he stopped at the arcade to play a couple of hours worth of “Asteroids” or some other such video game that he could only play at an arcade.  She was telling me about how he loved to play Tetris and Pacman and how he simply loved to play and compete with anyone anytime.

CDEarth has put together a CD with ten classic video games that my mother-in-law wants me to order for her to give to her hubby for his retirement party that we are going to be holding for him in July.  We think that this would be the perfect little retirement gift, since he will now be able to waste as many hours as he wants to waste playing video games at home on his new personal computer (that he will also be getting as a retirement gift!)

I’ve found a press release about the new software, and I’ve included it at the bottom of this post:

CD Earth LLC,(www.cdearth.com) is excited to announce the release of the Greatest Classic Video Games CD now available for Windows PC and Mac OSX.

The new CD includes 10 classic games and will be a sure hit with anyone who played the original video games. Stack falling bubbles, break through brick walls, stack colors against the clock, eat cookies while avoiding pesky ghosts, pop balloons with harpoons, smash tomatoes plus rescue a princess all while putting your spaceship back together.

Preview of some of the games on the CD:

1. Break through over 50 unique, challenging levels. Power the bouncing ball to smash through brick walls. Lots of power-ups plus extra balls, energy balls, extra lives, weapons, glue, bonus floors, paddle expansion and extra score make the game even more fun.
2. Gobble up cookies while escaping from hungry ghosts in this updated version of the classic arcade game.
3. Smiling bubbles. Don’t let the friendly smiles fool you. Group the falling bubbles to make them explode before they reach the top.
4. Pop balloons with a harpoon and avoid being hit in this fast-paced game.
5. Run and jump through multiple worlds, fighting off enemies by jumping on them or bumping them from below.
6. Eat your tomatoes. How many tomatoes can you smash in ten short minutes? If you have the time to spare, this game has the vegetables just waiting to be eliminated!
7. Colorful, addicting game where you quickly lineup blocks of the same color before time runs out.
8. Guide a lost traveler from outer space, through towers and across cemeteries to collect what he needs to rebuild his spaceship.
