If you have a curious toddler — either your own or just a frequent visitor — then you know how much they truly enjoy pressing the buttons on your computer.

Remember the good old days, when games were hard? I mean really frustrating, “throw the controller at the television because there are no save points and I just died — again!!” hard? Most people I know have fond memories of Donkey Kong, Zaxxon, Pac-Man, Centipede, Pitfall, and many, many more. As they should, too, given that retro-games are and retro-gaming is generally awesome!
In light of this, I have investigated several Abandonware and Retro-Gaming sites, tried them out and compiled you a pretty little list of six sites to help you scratch your retro-gaming itch online.
