Progress questioned

How far have video games come?

I've been playing a few free games here. Mostly I'm bemused at the fact that I was willing to spend many quarters to play these.

Except for this one. Defender holds up amazingly well. I never got into Stargate, Defender's "improved" sequel, although at least one Boviosity reader was a whiz at it. No, give me Defender every time. At the time, I remember thinking that it was the ultimate 2D game. I still think that, after a fashion. And it's still addictive, I'm finding. If you have shockwave installed, you need to try this site. It's an amazing recreation of the entire Defender experience, especially those great sounds.
