What?? Huh?? Does your better half now have a high score in Gyruss of 355,200? (Web page pic)

stellarola:
I tell you all what, to those who get crap from their significant other, they won't like it until it's built or finished. They just don't understand it until they find themselves playing on it for hours  :). I'm always thinking of a new project to work on, I think my girlfriend gives me crap, more about money. When I bought my candy cab (Neo29) for $400, she told me "What am I (her) gonna spend $400 on?" I thought she had a good point until she came home from a day of shopping and spent like $200 on like 3 or 4 articles of clothing. Yea, we know who's buying useless stuff now...heh....BOTH OF US  :P.

Yep.. she's had the score on the MAME since January... hasn't even come close to tying it much less beating it :D

Stellarola....

The wife loves my MAME...  she plays it about as much as anyone else (and as mentioned above, she's got the running high score in Gyruss)...    Spending for it has NEVER been an issue, nor has any other project ideas I've had (including the ones I've actually started)....

I just feel bad that I promised her a genuine Gyruss (had the money set back for it as well, until the move became a certainty) and now, can't get it for her now that the game's FINALLY (been waiting since April) ready.  So, next best thing I can do for her is to build her a dedicated MAME bartop version.  It'll be a few months before I can get started on it (gotta move first), but she deserves what I promised her....or at least as close to it as I can possibly provide.

That is, unless anyone around the Branson Missouri area will have a fully working Gyruss for sale after maybe March of next year?? :D  Seriously tho, I think that, for what space I'll eventually end up with, the bartop might be a better way to go... at least for a while.
