classic arcade games for early computers

Sometimes, I've gotten a kick on checking out a video of a  computer games that was made for a very early and out of date computer. Maybe like an old Radio Shack, Tandy, Coco, etc. Interesting on how those computers were able to run games like that.
Mostly it was the arcade games from the 1980's, like Circus, but with the other well known arcade classics, the musical theme was rather different and awkward sounding to decent and understood. Most of the time the theme music wasn't played and just a few basic sounds were used for the character and it's actions.
        And not tot mention that there were alot of crazy and close sounding names used for the title of the games, like Donkey King, Maze Muncher, etc. I was just curious in those old computers as I remember seeing them on display and got curious about the games. You can bet that like all computers, all the games seem to be of a similar concept, with nothing more than a  few K's for  graphics, color(if it could display it) and sounds and animation.
