I guess that's the sort of thing I am looking for.  I don't want to spend
much money on this but then again I want something that works.  The last
time I dealt with computer games was on a PDP-8 (you can still find some
archives of the mini-tapes on the web with my games - gunner, submariner,
lunar lander...)

How do I go about getting the executables?  Buy a CD and hope for the best
- maybe I can get it running with wine?  What controller?  That sort of
thing.
