I concur with KK, I have tried to install MAME on two different computers and I could never get it right.

I did find this site:

http://www.retrouprising.com/

which has a lot of great games I played as a kid. Its great at work too.

Mash, I found this page on the MAME site for the initial set up, I read it over and it sounds pretty simple, but haven't had the chance to give it a try.

With the link above your post, is that what I need to do to get going on MAME?

The reason I got into MAME is because I wanted to try playing those games now that I'm older to see if I'm any better at them.

Some of my faves:

Berzerk



Tempest



Tron



Satan's Hollow



Rolling Thunder



Of course I also like the classics like Donkey Kong, Frogger, Pac-Man, Robotron, Donkey Kong Jr., and Centipede.

If you want to really get into the whole emulator thing, look at the Daphne Emulator. It is a laser disc emulator that can play Dragon's Lair and Space Ace - and the other laser disc games that came out. It took some tinkering to get working and you have to find a copy of the laser disc content, but once you do it is damn fun to play those games.

I love it for the mere fact I can get EVERY NEO GEO GAME KNOWN TO MAN!!!!!

When I was a kid, probably put THOUSANDS of dollars in quarters playing their games.

I need to take a picture of my friend's setup. He has a 4 person console thingy set up. We get together and play Ninja Turtles or Simpsons or any other great 4 player games.

Thanks for the link KK,

I tried to download MAME on my laptop and I failed miserably at getting to work.

I'll try on my desktop after the game.

Thanks

Think about what, Hip? The fact that our kids are closer to our ages when we played these games than we are?

Star Castle (Though my ROM for it hasn't worked in a while.)
Phoenix (Same issue as Star Castle)
Gorf

Download Mame32 from this link:

http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/arcade/mame.html

You then put your roms (games) into the Rom folder. Double click on Mame32 and you're good to go.
