Hi Tom.
Yep, I know about the emulators, though I couldn't remember the specific
name of the Atari 2600 one, though I have run emulators in the past.
It was more that if the games were simply available online I'd go and give
them a try than looking for specific games though i probably should try
an emulator for my favourites. Generaly if I fancy playing something classic
I'll check retroremakes as they've had some really nice remakes of classic
games, indeed I've got a rather fun centipeed one called millenipeed, which
is the same game but with more colourful explosions and proper music and
sfx.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi Dark,
Have you considered installing Stella for Windows? Stella is an Atari
2600 emulator for Windows, Mac, and Linux and you can play pretty much
anything for the 2600 that was developed. I happen to have a couple
hundred roms backed up on my external drive including Space Invaders,
Asteroids, Centipede, Time Pilot, and so on. I believe I have the rom
for Berserk as well, but I'd have to look.
Cheers!

to play joust and berzerk again.
One interesting fact however, is that from a low vision perspective,
smart
phones and such for retro games have screens that are just too small, at
least for me, which is why if I wanted to play Joust, space invaders or
similar I'd need a full desktop version.
Beware the grue!
