I've got you beat. I was born on '58.

Are we friends on Steam? If not I'm MarkMSH if you wish to send me a request.

Yes, probably! This site has moved my love of the old games up a few nothches. I was born in 72, so I remember a lot of these games in the arcades when on summer holidays by the seaside.

I hadn't heard of them either, and I was going to arcades back then. I graduated from High School in '77, which was when this game came out.

Well, I have two things to say about that. 1) I only learned about it because one of my Steam friends had bought and so it showed up in my Activity Feed. 2) It's only $5 for 50 games. Dirt cheap if you ask me. Oh, and 3) I'll be seeing you in the Leaderboard I guess. :)

I just purchased the DLC pack this morning - that's your fault! ;-)

I never heard of it either until I bought the DLC pack for Atari Vault. This game hit arcades the year I graduated high school.

Yes. Another old game I've never seen that I will have to try!

Atari Vault: Pool Shark (aka Poolshark)
PC [Steam]

This game was missing here, probably because it was part of a DLC pack. This is the 1977 Atari Arcade game. Plays strangely for a pool game. If you can sink all of the balls (except for the cue ball of course) during 1 rack the timer freezes. I'm basing this on a YouTube video that I watched prior to adding the game to the system here. I've never managed it though.
