So I was tootin' around with Kazaa lite today and was searchin for this and that..and downloaded this revenge of the 80's program..now I really dont care about any virus on my pc..I dl on the desktop and run on my pc...if anything happens..ohwell..format reload..but back to the matter at hand..

If you use kazaa look for this revenge of the 80s..may or maynot find it.. look around..my version has pacman, galaga and donky kong in it..

well I installed it and ran galaga and to my suprise this mame window ops up.."press any key" heh...its just mame32 with a fancy frontend...


so who do ya tell about this... it has the www.revengeofthe80s.com url...but a galaga backdrop appears and nothing else.. I HAVE THE INSTALL FILE..ANYONE THINK IT SHOULD BE SENT TO THE MAME GUYS?

He also may be selling it on Ebay or be planning to.  I went to http://www.revengeofthe80s.com/graphics/ (found by viewing the source on his home page), and he has a file called ebayscreenshot1.jpg in that directory.  Just something else to keep an eye out for.

edit $%%%
here's the whois and here's one of his ebay id's -    rnm89

he's not offering anything and his auctions aren't avail. for browsing.. so *Shrug*

edit%%%here's how the site used to look maybe he used to sell mame cd's in a classic collection (or some other emu with a fancey front end...) maybe he coded his own emu or has legal right to seel those roms in a commercial package... (not likely)  thje fact that the package is all over kazaa means he isn't going to be making much money any more... i imagine... and he's less likely to get an auction that won't get cut short by ebay authorities...*Shrug*

It really bugs me that I'm busting my --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules-- trying to make a living by doing something creative, and people like this can do nothing but make a buck by leeching off someone else's creation.  He might as well make a custom shell for Photoshop and sell it as his own product!
