Only kidding, but jeeze.....you're in bad company to make a statement like that. I mean, hey, you like what you like, but there are some great experiences you're missing out on. I'm currently going through MAME #-Z and it's been great. I started a year ago and I'm only in the H's. It helps if I continue doing that, but certain games pull me out of the order. Currently, it's Ghouls & Ghosts, thanks to the competition (which I have no chance of winning, so why the hell am I bothering?).

Heheh, yeah. My hand/eye skills didn't work well when I was young so I couldn't play early arcade games at all, even though I was fascinated by them. So I didn't get to really enjoy arcade games till later day beatemups and fighters. Now, I don't have those nostalgic feeling for the classics and have no interest in them. But that doesn't mean I love Arcades any less than the other posters here, my cabinet just has a diffrent game lineup and Japanese style controls.  ;D

Nothing wrong with that.

I thought I loved the game.  When it was in the arcade 25 cents was a lot of money so I would only play it one or two times.

When I got MAME that was one of the first games I played.  After playing it a couple of times I realized how frustrating and annoying the game really is.

Every once in a while I play it thinking I love it, but then I'm quickly reminded that I don't.

Yeah, so with you, there. Looks neat, but just doesn't make the cut. However, the PC game Gold Miner Joe IS cool. The only such about it is the controls are not programmable.

I wasn't that great at most golden age games, either, but there's something about them that I've grown to love.
