What were your old Favourites for gaming.   :y :y
M.A.M.E is your daddy if you like old school.

I'd love to offer you a link to the 10,000 odd working ROMS I have that date back to day 1, but that would be against forum rules I'm afraid.

Very true.  But I have my connections.   ::)

All the EMU's (eg, Nintendo, Playstation, Sega, etc) are free and readily available with a simple Google search, it's the ROM data you need if it's going to work (and the artwork if you want the screenshots, etc).

One game:

-Elite  8-)

Came across a mint BBC Master 128 recently and decided it needed to be preserved for old time's sake. Have a guess what I spent the first few evenings doing?  8-)

Had an original Atari console in the 1980's and had Space Invaders (1000's hours spent on that!), Asteroids, Night Driver, Pac-man. Had so much fun on those games! 8-)
