I'm not talking about the late 80s to early 90s ones like Golden Axe or Altered Beast. I mean the classic early 80s arcade games like Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Galaga, Pole Position, etc.

So far I'm drawing a blank and can only think of Ms Pac-Man.

Hmmmm....

Odd question. This may only be semi-helpful, but if you can slog through here, you'll know:

Sega Genesis - Games - allgame (http://www.allgame.com/platform.php?id=24&tab=games)

The link was a big help. Thanks!

So far Ive found the games Frogger and "Arcade Classics" which had Centipede and Missile Command.

[edit]

Okay, I went through the whole list and there is also Pac-mania and Space Invaders 91. Which are updates but still close enough.

As an aside nearly every classic game that wasn't made by Nintendo has been released for the PS2 (arcade perfect versions too) and those compilations are dirt cheap now.

I WISH they would let you play the original Tron game online. And I mean the deluxe version they had in arcades where you battled with the discs.

That's "Discs of Tron". It used to be available on Xbox live and is also available as a bonus (along with the standard tron game) in Tron 2.0 Killer Apps for the Game Boy Advance.
