JMB:
Retrocade was the package that got me hooked. Arcade@home was one of the first sites I visited regularly back then.

Zero_Hour:
Mucked about with Callus, then drifted away for a bit, and really got dedicated when I found MAME. Arcade@Home and Dave's Video Game Classics were regular haunts until I found BYOAC.

yotsuya:
It's funny, way back when - 2003-04 or abouts, I considered building a MAME cabinet, but most websites said it would cost $1000 or so, so I gave that idea up. I build my first in 2010 and have easily spent more than $1000 on this hobby.  >:D

:applaud:  Had Castle Wolfenstein on my C64 in the 80s.  Classic!

Yes! Wolfenstein addict here as well. Beyond Castle Wolfenstein was great as well. Easier, but as soon as I decided to play the game by killing everyone first rather than using passes and bribes, it became immensely cooler. :applaud:

And C64 Frodo was my first emulator experience. I had been an emulator junkie ever since.

Confession time here: On my first introduction to MAME, I thought it was pure wank. The stupidest idea for an emulator ever. I was thinking how lame it was to have an emulator to play pacman and a few other vintage games, by then there were plenty of great ports of most arcade games that I could find on Awesome Angelfire websites.. I had no clue the scope of it, and thought it could play a few games. I just ignored Mame for quite a while while exploring other emulators. It was not until I found out you could play Congo Bongo on it that I decided to see how much it could play. Suddenly it all clicked.

lilshawn:
no$gb (no cash) emulator. played the crap out of some gameboy games I could never afford.

that thing ran flawlessly on my P133
