I understand that, but sometimes it just made me think that they were enemy guys waiting for medical help , which made it worse ... but then I'd mercilessly run them down anyway for a few more points! Ah well, the evils of war I guess....

Needless to say I was almost always disappointed. NES really stunk at this. The Robocop port comes to mind here. The whole time I dreamed of owning a real arcade.

The greatest thing about this hobby is the look on people's faces when they come over to play for the first time.

I'm still waiting for that one person to be totally blown away like I would have been if I had seen my setup 2 years ago. Our neighbors and friends are all fuddy duddys or something because I generally get yawns from people or that look of "you did all that work to play those old games?"

ahofle:
Hahaha, exactly.  I need some better neighbors too -- most aren't too interested in playing old arcade games. 
Arcades used to be pretty crowded.  What the hell happened to all those people?  :laugh2:  I guess nostalgia isn't for everybody.
