Mame

[ciper]

Anyone play Mame over kaillera here? I mostly like side scrollers, a 4 player TMNT is always fun. My latest count is 21gb of compressed roms

My ex was in Mame. God, I hate musicals.

methinks you are talkig abou different things

roms are the shit, I always start one and then start another, then aother and i can never finsih any of em. Last few were tales of phantasia, bahamut lagoon and FFTA. I LOVED TMNT all of em. We just got a new arcade machine at work, it has like 100 NES/SNES games on it, we all fucking love it.

Its an emulator for just about every arcade game ever made. Imagine if you could play any of 4000+ arcade games right on your computer.

One cool part is that you still have to insert coins Just assign a key to it and insert 99 coins if you want. You also get to control the settings on how many lifes and how hard the game is.

Tell me any arcade game you can think of, Im confident it can play it. A couple days ago my friend and I finish Golden Axe. Just yesterday I was playing Moon Patrol.

Awesome! All the old school games. I knew you weren't talking about the musical, though. How about Vulgus? It was a 1942 type scrolling game with big bugs and space ships.

Yep, three different version of Vulgus. Even the japanese version

Thats the other great part about Mame, many games have multiple versions from around the world.

The online play makes it even better. You can even run your own server if you like. My coworkers and I played a 4 player Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles about a week ago.

That's amazing. Vulgus was not a popular game. I love the older games, so this is perfect. I think the newer games are generally too complicated. I rather just watch people who are good at them play like watching a movie. I usually prefer the simpler games they used to make since I don't have the attention span to put all the effort the new games require.

You'd be shocked at how many Japenese "Naked girl" games they have. Mostly Mahjong or the type where you draw a line to take over the space while dodging an enemy.

There are also some prototype games that never made it to market

I cant imagine anyone paying a quarter for some of the games. I played one called gang wars where the entire game had 6 different enemy and they all had the same crappy laugh. It was a really bad Streets of Rage rip off.

i used to play gang wars, drug wars, and pimp wars on my ti-83+ in hs
