A Newbies totally surprising game pick!

<< < (6/6)

Barry Barcrest:
First game i played wanted to play emulated was starwars closely folled by Green Beret "rush'n'attack for you americans". However when i got into emulation those were not possible... As soon as they were though i loved them. Another milestone was when Gauntlet II was emulated in that standalone Gauntlet emulator. Those early days of emulation were great using sparcade, raine and individual game emus.

I hear ya. I remember waiting for Rastan to be supported in MAME. It was a great day when I read Retrogames news section and saw that it was finally working.

I've been following MAME since the first release, so I've watched it change and grow. It used to be a fun game of "What's supported this time?!?" with each update.

I love these threads.  Totally forgot about rastan.  Just went out to the cab and added it in!  Good times ....

Nice. I was talking with an old girlfriend recently and mentioned being into retro-gaming (which I thought I'd talked about before, but she didn't recall), and she asked 'Do you have Robotron?'. I said yeah but was dumbfounded. She said that was the only game she liked. She said she liked the dual-stick game-play. (Um, yeah yuck it up, but no she wasn't inclined that way when I found her.) She was in college at the time and a mensa member so maybe that had something to do with it?
