Too F-in cool man! It will be nice for us old fogey types to play some of the games we played in our post pubescent angst ridden roll of quarters til I beat the game parts of our lives. Way too cool!

Arrrrrrrrr, I'm especially geeked about the original Spyhunter!!! I was very upset that they did not include an unlockable version of the game in the new release of Spyhunter...now that woulda been something, so it would! har har har

Nice. I ahve the first one, the Digital Eclipse-Williams Classics for psx, this new one should be cool. But I happen to have almost all of those (no Rampage just yet) running on my current build of ps2mame37, and I'm sorry for those who can't deal with it's age, the old 37 was all there was then, and, yse, I know that the newest mame is the best (and when the author releases the source code, im having a go at updating it myself), but hey, there is still NOTHING anywhre that can touch the ps2 port of ANY mame for an arcade emulator. They dro too much shit when they make compilers like that..like start without "insert coin", and not to forget: The DIP SWITCHES and other goodies covered by mame, even in ps2, all the shit you'd have tried if you could have gotted ahold of the key to the arcade machine itself. Robotron that flashes "Rotosound's Personal Arcade: Trespassers Will Be Eaten" in the "attract" screen, or whatever. It aint the same as mame, no matter what.
