I am searching for classic games like Donkey Kong, Pac-Man etc. Where can I find these?

Re: Classic Arcade Games

You may want to check out the MAME project. MAME is an arcade machine emulator that is capable of running several thousand old arcade games, such as the ones listed. To run these games however, MAME requires copies of the roms. The legality of possessing these ROMS without a licence from the manufacturer or possession of the actual arcade machine is dubious. Many game manufactuers such as Namco from time to time have released 'packs' of classic games for new consoles and PC. I hope this helps.

Hi Darren (and Al),

You could also try www.the-underdogs.org for early PC conversions of such games that have long since become abandonware.

Cheers

Also check out www.rom-world.com it has lots of retro games.

I have also notice Nintendo have release GBA NES Classics - which is orginal Donkey Kong, Pacman and Mario Bros for Gameboy.
