Classicgameremakes.com ???

anyone ever played anything off of this site? just saw it posted on the arcadecontrols.com forum today.. would love to try it out, but can't install any of the games here at work...

This site features freeware classic arcade, console and computer games remakes for Windows/DOS. With all the ROMs available, why would anyone want to download a remake?
1. Despite what might be said, ROMs are NOT legal!
2. Many of these remakes feature enhanced graphics, sound and features

All submissions are welcome, but all games are rated for quality.

Roms are legal if you own the original game cartridge. In that case you are allowed to have a backup for your own personal use. And of course you are not allowed to sell them.

Considering the thousands of Pac-man and Space Invaders knock offs out there on the net why would a Tetris or yet another Space Invaders clone matter?

And its not like there wasnt "Asteroids" and "Space Invader" clones made back when the games were in the arcade.
