Lesson #266 - Old Video Games

Did you ever hear about Pac-Manhattan? Honestly, the concept sounds really cool, and could really be a lot of fun (especially with then Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde costumes, right?). So why not expand the idea out? If you had a group of people lined up in rank and file, and walking side to side, then one step forward, while another person had a series of barriers which they could hide behind, and occasionally fire a paintball out from, couldn't you play Space Invaders? (It would certainly be a lot more feasible than if you hung them from above!) And Pong is basically tennis, but Frogger could be fun if you could pull it off.

We personally have played softball games where we've whistled the RBI Baseball theme song the entire game, so we know how fantastic the potential is for mixing video games with real life.

Any other obvious old games we forgot?
