I'm just a little anxious to get up there and whup E.T.'s ass

Ah, the joys of classic gaming. Simple, yet addictive. Those of you who had an Amiga (or knew someone who had one) may very well remember Deluxe Galaga. It's your straightforward screen-at-a-time shoot-em-up - but with added bonuses, mini-games, weapons shop etc. I probably clocked up more playing hours on that than any other game. Now, the author is making a PC version called Warblade (due to copyright issues with the "Galaga" name). It's in beta at the moment, but very playable and strikingly similar to the Amiga version, just with upgraded eye candy. There are some new features as well, such as profiles that save your personal bests and allow you to earn start-up bonuses. And did I mention addictive? Go! Play! Now!
