Ive always wanted to make a clear perspex standup games machine, designed like the old skool coin-ops, but with a PC and MAME installed...

That is an awesome idea, just don't put it in Myer or u'll have a host of disreputables on it during working hours.  Pick up on of those ROM DVD's that i posted earlier on ebay. Neo Geo, Amiga, N64, Playstation, Sega, Nintendo- all for 20 bucks

Cool, i'll talk to u about it at camping if ur going.

Surround was two lines in a box and u got to box in the other player.  Think that disney movie Tron

Remember, a carton of beer for anyone who clocks Chaken on ur own steam i.e. no walkthroughs or CHEATS. (there is only one to skip a few levels) U can't die (u are immortal) but still it is fuckin impossible.

"pick up pumpkin", "smash pumpkin", "pick up key", "unlock door", "open door" - and that was just to get into the house to start the game of Hugo's House Of Horrors.

i took me a while to figure out how to get past that stupid dog.  Yeah i love Sierra, Apogee and ID games.

Anyone wanna have an old school game convention.  I have megadrive and snes, we'll just buy up games from all our local cashies, will be easy coz we all live in working class areas and get together and play 'em with loads of junkfood. If u have surround on the 2600 i wanna kick ur ass at that Mago

Hey ur only 19 hey?  How did u get into amiga?  I only just was in commodore 64 at about 7-8.  I thought amiga preceeded that? Also i used to play some computer with a tape loader and a screen that only had a green and green screen, some of the games on that were Dracula's Castle, Loderunner, Bezerk, asteroids..pretty intense but i was really young.  Mr Upsidedown could tell u more, he was a bit older than me and my gaming idol.  When he conquered Gods we celebrated with cocoapops at 3am.  i think i was about 9

I never played postal 2, is that good because its violent or whatever?? i played that one on xbox, where u murder people, fun as a gimmick, but utter shit as far as games go.

Link and Zelda on nes (gold and silver carts) were amazing games.  I felt a bit like Mago when they revamp games tho.. I might join him in his cave.

thats cool, i can respect that, but it is pretty early days to shun technology.  We will be seeing bullshit stuff in 10 years, i am going to try and keep up if i can.  I was playing halo and my granddad asked me what movie i was watching i had to laugh a little and explained... he sat down in awe for about an hour and went to his workshop for the rest of the day and sulked.

Holy crap that is IMPRESSIVE!!

Do u have Surround on the Atari?  I think me and my relatives destroyed so many of this rubber joysticks with that game.

Battletoads was FRICKIN hard..well at least on NES it was.. kudos.

Are u a Madden fan? I need someone competitive to play on xbox.  My mates won't play that game with me anymore.

Yeah the first dune game was a total let down but battle for arakis fucking owned it still owns C&C

totally agree, i played dune 2 till my eyes bled.

Games that gave me the best feeling when i clocked em.

Commander Keen 3

Gods

Duke Nukem 3 (Apogee)

Metroid ( Nes)

Battletoads (so bullshit hard)

All double dragons

If i new what a big fat fucking cuban cigar was when i was 10, i woulda had one for each of them.  If i knew what masterbating was...fuck it.. clocking old school games is better than masterbating...

There I said it...I said what we're all thinking.

A few years ago the IDSA demanded that we remove a number of intellectual copyrights from the site. We met their demands. Today, the IDSA, now known the ESA, demanded the removal of seven additional properties. By their demand, the following intellectual properties are no longer available for download on ROMNation.NET:

Brute Force
Final Fantasy
Metroid
Oddworld
Tekken
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Wario


those games ruled!

They are pretty new games (metroid is a new one not old one)
Copyright EXPIRES!!! so many old school rippers are available for use, sometime they call it freeware.  Commander Keens and duke Nukems and all those things that made u more of a man are free, free, free!!!

haha, ROMS kick ass!! i played a double dragon marathon.  They make those games FUCKING hard hey.  There is this mint game on megadrive called chakken.. an undead zombie come back to avenge his killers with two big mofo swords and some evil magic... i have been playing it since i was 11 and i still can't clock it... i've busted the catridge so many times in blind fury.  Honestly if anyone can clock it and at LEAST send me a screen shot i will buy u a carton..or host a keg party. It is ridiculous that game.
