Yars' Revenge!?!?!

So this takes me back. I'm surfing around to some of my favorite websites and what do I learn? They are remaking Yars' Revenge, an ancient Atari video game.

Wow. That takes me back. If I remember correctly, Yars' Revenge was the first video game I ever bought with my own money, the first step down a long path that I'm still walking today.

To make matters more interesting, they included a video of gameplay from the reboot. Somehow they've gone from this:

Wow.

But I will say this. In my hunt for the reboot's homepage, I did stumble across an emulator that let me play the original on my PC. Ah, memories.
