Would be great to have any/all of these classics on my zune....I spent many, many quarters at the arcade on these back in the day!

Berzerk

"Intruder alert! Intruder Alert!" It's Berserk and you'd better watch out for 'Evil Otto' (the deadly bouncing ball), and don't touch the walls or you'll be electrocuted! Stern 1980.

Scramble:

.

Scramble was a side scrolling shooter and fairly difficult for the day. The premise was simple, shoot everything and also make sure you hit enough fuel tanks to stay alive. This one devoured quarters faster than Nell Carter ate donuts. Stern 1981.

Tempest:

Tempest was totally tubular! Literally. Blow away the creatures moving up the sides of the tubes. A bit of a rarity for collectors these days because the ultra fast game play would cause the circuits to melt and totally trash the game. Atari 1981.
