Has anyone played this on MameOX?
Oh man, what a quarter eater this one would have been in its day!!
Another Capcom quarter stealer!! lol.
If you haven't tried it, you gotta give it a whirl.
It's only 5 years old, but if this game were around when I was frequenting game rooms I would spend my wad in about twenty minutes! _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter

Oh I know!
The countless hours I spent at gamerooms... I grew up in a very very small town. The type of town that you still don't have to lock your doors or windows, everyone knows absolutely everyone and the only thing that there was to do on the weekends was either play football, get laid, or go to the gameroom.
Needless to say, the gameroom served multi-purposes in aiding my ride to adult-hood.
When I was 13 I took a job at a local restaraunt making 15.00 a night bussing tables and washing dishes. I worked from 8PM to 2AM for that 15 bucks, I had a paper route, and mowed grass. All my money, every single penny went to the gameroom!
I bought NOTHING else. Mame brings back some serious memories.
That and stella... I grew up on the Atari 2600 and 5200, but the 2600 was the console that got me going. I was always into arcade games and pinball. Besides Pitfall, one game that I loved on Atari 2600 was a game called Adventure.
Does anyone remember that one? Take a look at it now! You will roll on the floor laughing your ass off. How that was entertaining we'll never know.
If we introduced this game to a four year old, they would play it for three minutes and fall asleep.
But, me and my friends spent HOURS upon HOURS upon HOURS playing that game. When we found the secret room we thought were were so special.... we felt like we found something that nobody knew about.
Back then there were no walk-throughs, no gaming guides...everything was word of mouth and just sit down and play it. There were no cheat codes, Action Replay, gamehacks..nothing like that.
This is my gaming life in a nut shell.
First video game I put a quarter into: Boothill (can anyone recall that one)
First video game I became addicted to: Space Invaders
First contest I ever entered: Asteroids
Video games I put the most quarters in: PacMan, Asteroids, Wizard of War, Space Invaders, Trax, PolePosition, Rastan
Gaming consoles owned;
Telstar - (this had four games (Pong singles, Pong doubles, Hockey (form of pong) and hockey doubles) - This was our very first system.
Atari 2600
Atari 5200
ColecoVision
Intellivision
Adam Computer
Commodore 64
Sega Genesis
Sega Saturn
NES
SNES
N64
PS1
DreamCast
Xbox
The gaming industry has evolved into something that I never could have imagined back when I was grasping my Atari Joystick!
I feel fortunate though. The younger gen didn't get the joy of seeing how games changed, although who's to say what th next 25 years is going to bring.
Maybe 25 years from now, this generation will be sitting at a forum just like this saying things like, "Does anyone remember that game Halo 2?" Oh man, what a classic that was. Can you believe we found that entertaining?". Naturally, they will not be typing the words into the fourm, but instead mentally projecting the words onto the screen via the matrix like probe that is jammed into the back of their skull...
GAME ON!!!
later all! _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter

nicely put MG..
It will be like that i think.. The next couple of generations will laugh at Halo2 etc etc... heheh lol But, hey they will all still have a xbox emulator.. lol
Games certainly do bring back memories.. They are very much like listening to music at a particular time in your life.. You always remember where you were when listing to it..
