high scores
, updated the
Nintendo Top Ten

Monday June 7 1999:
Missed the 2000 hits in one month mark by one day! How frustrating. Oh
well - my own expectations were nowhere near 2000 hits
for the first month. Thank you number 2000, whoever you
may be :)
Tuesday November 30 1999:
Fixed the site after some serious downtime. My sincere
apologies that I didn't have it back up before now.
Sorry there's been a dismal lack of updates recently;
but there should be some serious updates happening
pretty soon here :)
Saturday May 20, 2000:
TONS
of updates.
High Score
page updated to dynamically display high scores from a database,
so updates will happen much faster and the high score pages will be much
tighter. Soon the Nintendo Top Ten list will do the same thing, and I'll
start adding features to take advantage of this.
Optimized a lot of the HTML and redid some ugly stuff.
Fixed a few broken links.
Tuesday May 23, 2000:
Added an Online Game! You can now play Asteroids online at the
Classic Arcade Games page.
Classic Arcade Games
Plus I made a few things more efficient in HTML. Look for the
NES Top Ten list soon!
Wednesday, June 21, 2000:
If you haven't noticed already, the site has undergone
MASSIVE
changes, and I think it's an improvement. Email me and let me know what you
think - after all, I'm doing this for you. :)
Also, the
Nintendo
page has finally been updated with the database-driven top
ten list, so your additions to the top ten list will show up very quickly.
Please keep sending them!
Thursday, June 29, 2000:
Added a For Sale page, but haven't
added any items to it yet. Eventually I'll be selling lots of new and used console
video games from here, keep checking back to see what's new! :)
Finally got around to chronicling the story of my
Tempest cabinet.
Friday, July 14, 2000:
Added a Message Board for the discussion of arcade
collecting, restoration, playing, or whatever else you feel like talking about. Please
go in there and start some interesting discussions!
Also made the site generally more efficient and updated the
Modern Video Games page.
Tuesday, November 21, 2000:
Added a Guestbook for you to use if you'd like to leave
your mark, or check out who else has been here. Please take a moment and sign it, you even
get a place to put a link to your favorite site.
Incidentally, I wrote this guestbook 100% myself in ASP, so if there's a bug in it let me know, I'll try and fix it ASAP.
Sunday, December 3, 2000:
Updated the Galaxian/Galaga page with some new downloads and links.
Finally. Still kinda basic but it deserves a hit or two - check it out.
My next goal is to do some more work on the Pac page.
Also added a download or two to the Clones page, so
don't forget to stop by there and download the Galaga and Galaxian clones!

RETROARCADE.COM won the 2000 ICWhen Eye Site award! Take a look to the left, it's there under the navigation menu.
ICWhen ICWhen is a very comprehensive site about the history of
classic gaming and computers. Very high quality and lots of raw information - very little flash or fluff. Good reference.
