    From Mojo@80:774/4 to All on Mon Dec 12 17:05:00 2016
    I may have asked this before but do not remember for sure. Is there a way I can play the old Astroids game on my Windows 7 PC so I could still play the game?

    I no longer have my atari 2600 and do not have the money to buy one at this time. So I would like to be able to play some of the old games on my PC if it is possible to do so.


    Thanks

    this time. So I would like to be able to play some of the old games on my PC if it is possible to do so.

    Emulator such as Stella will do. Check here-

    and here

    Ta!

    I use Stella to play all of the Atari 2600 games on my Windows 10 PC. But
    not all of them work properly though.

    Through means of Emulation it's possible to play any game from any game
    system pretty much ever created

    Have you tried the game astroids on your computer? ZIf so how well did it
    work?

    I just tried it since I have never played it and I do have it :) Seems to work great. Wow I miss playing Atari 2600 games :)
