I know that the Playstation version of these games aren't like the old Atari ones, but I still enjoy them.
Get MAME and you can play the actual arcade versions of those!
Although I think the only true Atari one there is Centipede!
Skate or Die on the Commodore 64 was the total WIN.
Waaayyyy back before C64, in the land of the dinosaur computers, we had a Kaypro II - and it had a cute little game called Ladder that I played the shit out of. It ruled.

Or you could drive here to Columbus, Ohio. At our COSI (science museum) has an exhibit right now of a bunch the old video games and you can play the actual arcade games for free.

Here in Orlando Disney has a place called Disney Quest. It's a place with 4 stories of virtual stuff, one floor has free unlimited arcade games, in one part of the place there was like, 20 or 30 OLD classic arcade games. Completly free to play

Man I had forgotten about XCOM. I loved that game, but it was a little difficult for me as I was still kinda young. I have the sequel on CDrom here somewhere.
I play through a set of old graphic adventure games that are undoubtedly my favorites.
The Monkey Island series from LucasArts
and the Quest for Glory series from Sierra
I dig these out and play them via Dosbox once a year.
Wasteland (PC precursor to the Fallout series)
Star Flight 1&2 (PC)
Master of Magic (PC)
Crazy Climber (Arcade)
Robby the Rotto (Arcade)
Mr Do (Arcade)
War is an option whose time has passed. Peace is the only option for the future. At present we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between peace and war, a time of growing fear that our military might has expanded beyond our capacity to control it and our political differences widened beyond our ability to bridge them. . . .
Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.
--RICHARD M. NIXON, "REAL PEACE" (1983)
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."
There was a game we played on the C-64 ages ago where there were two WWII squads. One squad was American and the other was German. You'd take turns setting up your moves and such, leaving enough movement points so you can have a cone of fire. After both sides planned their moves out you'd play out the battle. Then after that you'd start again. It wasn't very graphical at all. It was cool though.

One game that i really liked was Magic: The Gathering. I loved running around and fighting mobs with card duels and building the deck along the way. If they could do that again I'd buy it.
