Yeah, I think I'm going to set up the Favorites list as default from now on. It's about 100 games, which should be fine.

I wasn't badmouthing anyone here (except perhaps my roommate and her unhealthy obsession with frickin' Uo Poko) and I'm sorry you got that impression. Believe me, I know a few younger cats who do appreciate the classics, they're just rare.

"John got 38,550 in pacman? I can beat that....."
you get the idea

Malenko, my friend, that is a brilliant idea!! Appeal to the competitive aspect of the classics! That's so obvious because EVERYONE has played (and knows HOW to play) Pacman... but who plays it the BEST? It just so happens that I have a big white board that I didn't know what I was going to do with! Wow, I can't believe I didn't think of that. Great suggestion.

Wow... seriously, I will observe a moment of silence. Best of luck! Let us know. :'(

So funny how we all attach feelings to objects. Especially ones from our childhood. I usually keep my cab on with a random game running just because its so &#^@%*&$ cool to finally have my own cab with ALL the games. Imaging telling your 12 year old self about that!
With almost everyone else who made a mame cab from scratch, the second build is usually superior to the first one. In your mind is your yet-to-be second cab has an amazing list of improvements then I say go for it.
Beretta:
it's natural we all get attached to objects, and not just from our child hood..
how many people love and talk to their cars?
i'd think it would be especially important something you made your self.
there is nothing abnormal here.
drventure:
I do like the High scores whiteboard idea.
Is that the same idea behind the "Highscores" mod I've seen mentioned in threads from time to time?
It'd be cool if that ability was just part of the cab (or then again, maybe not, a little "analog" mixed with the digital wouldn't necessarily be bad :)
Beretta:
ya i agree the white board high scores idea is a good one, i remember having competitions with people in pinball in a pizza shop.. we was'nt at the place at the same time but we'd just pass the score on verbally, say beat that!
