Just about everyone at Raptr loves playing games.  In our line of work, we get to play the newest and most sparkly games out there, but there’s a soft spot in our hearts for older games that just seem timeless.  Thanks to Baz, we’ve got a ton of classic arcade games like Joust and Donkey Kong Jr., but Missile Command seems to be capturing our attention right now.  Just like our Ping Pong ladder, a few of us have engaged in a friendly competition to see who can survive the longest.  Since there really isn’t an end to the game, we can probably keep playing forever. 

In addition to the arcade games, Starcraft has resumed its consumption of our spare time these past few weeks.  Many of us have added an hour or two to our day to engage in a few friendly matches of Starcraft.   It’s amazing how a ten year old PC game has managed to capture our attention for so long. From the Zergling rushes to the Siege Tank attacks, there are so many moments in Starcraft that we’ll treasure.

Will we be playing Starcraft 2 with such fervor in 2018?  Or will there be a healthy cottage industry dealing with vintage PC rigs for games like Starcraft?  What ancient games do you still play today?
