All arcade fans, tell the reasons why you think that even today arcade games like PAC-MAN, Tetris etc. till are fun to play and at times you would prefer it over HALF LIFE 2 {system requiremtns, system requirements}

The main reason is their simple controls, small installs and next to nothing file sizes.As u have mentioned HL-2 and Packman ,kindly tell me how long did it take to install in comparison to Pacman?

well the old arcade games have nostalgia attached 2 them...also, u wonder at the simplicity of these games as compared 2 modern day wonders such as HL2...plus, it is easier 2 fire up and play a game of PACMAN if u want a quick game than it is 2 get HL2 up and running...
