I`ve been reading what you and Tore have written above about playing old games. How does somebody find these games and what do they need to do/install on their PC or console to make them work?
well, I'm not really sure these days - i haven't used emulators for ages - took too much hardwork tracking down the codes for the games (some were also inaccurate), and too many emulators to choose from - you really have to ask tore about that

these days, I just buy programmed retro arcade games for the PS2, Rainbow Islands, The New Zealand Story and Bubble Bobble on my Taito Legends comp are as close to the coin-ops as I'll ever get, short of buying the whole machine myself

the Amiga versions of these games are also nowhere near the comp I got, it didn't have the "feel" of the arcade versions

when I think about it, i have more nostalgia being in the arcades than consoles or home computers - the arcades were like a second home to me as a child
