I can just feel the joy of Atari fans going apoplectic. A pioneer in arcades games, Atari has recently revamped its website and added a new section with with a handful of their classic games for you to play (for free) in your web browser. And yes, they have included the beloved Asteroids and Lunar Lander. Along with each faithful recreation, a online leaderboard allows you to submit your scores.
The fun begins at Atari Arcade.

Bonus: Another old favourite, Quake is also playable in your web browser.

sweeeeeeet!!!
and the quake link has just made my day…
o damn websense, there goes my skiving at work ;(
Farging Websense :poop:
Have you tried using a web-based proxy site to get to the content you want?
it was the first thing i tried, but all the ones i know of are blocked.
it’s no biggy… just royal pain in the cushion
Aaah I see. TechFAQ has a list of proxies you could try.
lol… just as i’m moaning about websense, it goes down or it’s been disabled. free reign on the internet :D
thanks for the link, these will no doubt come in handy later
TechFaq is also blocked…. any other ideas?
Is Hide My Ass blocked too?
What you could try is to use the IP address of the site rather than its name.
it was working yesterday and now is blocked… and hidemyass is also blocked.
these guys work quick :P
Dang, they really are intent on making you work. The horrible, horrible bastards.
I wonder if TOR would help?
bastards bastards indeed :D
shot for the links though
Lovely find. memories…..like the corners of my mind…
“it was working yesterday and now is blocked… and hidemyass is also blocked.

I would say they monitor DNS traffic and probably have an alert for “New URLs” if they ban sites as you find them.
If they are using the hosted solution from Websense you might be able to bypass it if you can change your local machine’s DNS settings to point to say opendns: 208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220
Hehe, Interestingly enough, I blocked gambling and porn sites on my work network and got shat out by the CEO and other managers because they couldn’t place bets on games and view the filthy links their friends send them….
