Title: Blitz and Showtime, AHHHHH!
Post by: the3eyedblindman on July 24, 2004, 04:49:44 pm: My two favorite games, the reasons i was so excited to get mame in the first place, and i hear they are unplayable. Does anyone know if working versions are ever going to be available, any ways to get them to work ect?

In the meantime.... get the PC versions like was suggested.

PS - you should put the same thread in multiple forums... its annoying.

Give it a few years, and computers will be fast enough to play it.

Right you are. Moved it and merged the topics.

Blitz PC works great! Now if only I could find a no-cd crack for it!

You don't NEED 49-way joysticks, as there is a 49-way/8-way setting you can change in the game.

OTOH, I don't like the play with an 8-way. I never was able to play with a 49-way stick, but I think the game would play better with 49 than 8-way. [shrug]
