I want arcade flyers so I try arcadeflyers.com

What ever happened to the click and download part of the internet? I hate how sites think they need to be on the cutting edge with all this "new" crap. I miss the days of the notepad sites.

Post by: papaschtroumpf on October 30, 2004, 01:37:26 pm: The 11 flyer packs are available at emu-france and probably other places, without the need to go through File
Planet.
As far as I know no other packs were made after this.
I'm not sure how to find out what's missing from the packs to either download them one by one or using a "spider" program. We could then make additional packs.

Has anyone contacted the authors of www.arcadeflyers.com about this?

Post by: Crazy Cooter on October 30, 2004, 04:58:18 pm: There were other packs talked about in the news archive
http://www.arcadeflyers.com/?page=news&month=04&year=2002 (http://www.arcadeflyers.com/?page=news&month=04&year=2002)
there they mention pack#16 being sent over to http://www.classicgaming.com/mame32qa/ (http://www.classicgaming.com/mame32qa/)

Unfortunately, they aren't available to download from there. Maybe they were recompiled into the original 11 packs?

Post by: papaschtroumpf on October 30, 2004, 05:35:10 pm: I doubt it, the last version of the original pack is form 2003 or earlier

Edit: since the news archive you reference is from 2002, it's actually quite probable. That same news entry says that the grand total is 1750, and I believe there are about 2100 flyiers in the 11 packs (well, I have 2100 flyers on my arcade machine and I don't remember getting anything else butthose packs).

Post by: JoyMonkey on October 31, 2004, 10:30:32 am: I emailed Dan at TAFA and he says that there are only 11 flyerpacks (there is also a 12th due out in the near future).
