      Just a few hours left to get in your votes for the Second Round. The Sweet Sixteen begins tomorrow!

      I started the tournament a week too late -- you can see that we're now running behind the actual NCAA tournament, but remember! The Final Four begins on Thursday so we'll be in good shape.

                but I CANNOT give you Dig Dug. Dig Dug is a fun lil dopey game but Galaga is EPIC man... I mean you can have fun playing that game for hours! The dual fighter mode, the challenging stage, the music, it's addictive.

                LB, we've had a fun back and forth going over these matchups but I was surprised to see Galaga lose, no lie.

                  i have that Namco Museum game for PS2. i'm always playing Galaga and the Pac family games. i was done with Dig Dug and Pole Position after one play

                  Star wars is repetitive but more fun than Pong, imo
