How to recapture that "just discovered mame" spirit?
mr.Curmudgeon:
Seriously though, if you're interested in getting back into the "spirit" of MAME, I'd say organize a BYOAC Canadian member get-together. Where in Canada are you located? There has to be more than just yourself.
We New England MAME'rs (MAMEiacs?) get together a couple times a year at a huge classic arcade, then hang out and BS afterward. Drinking is sometimes involved and everyone is mutually interested in gaming, with the possible exception of the wives that get dragged into it!
I'm sure most everyone thought it'd be a big group of freaks. Turns out I'm the only one! ;)
Even so, it's great fun and I'd bet you could get something similar happening in your area.
