    And I don't have a joystick. Just a mouse and keyboard. That being said, there has to be a good site with a lot of old games that can be played with said paraphenalia.

    Let me know.. Thanks.

    Lookup mame. Some roms are hard to find. Some games aren't worth playing without the proper controller. There are some ports to the PC licensed by Microsoft under the name Arcade Classics.

    any good games to suggest on mame? I found Ali Baba a couple of years ago that I played with bud's for hours (in 1984) along with Karateka (1985) Was trying to get sug's for good places to find maybe old NES games, or, at least, old Apple II e games.


    Link?

    www.planetemu.net has a huge selection of Mame and console roms. Gotta wait five minutes between downloads though.

    Antisonic: Any way to get it to be English? Your link is French, and I'm not willing to learn any new languages now.

    Anti: tried to download, and all I got on both the emulator, and the game was incomprehensible jargon.

    little help.

    Sorry bud. All the filenames are in abbreviated English though. ;)

    Just follow the graphics on the console menus.

    Fatty: sent you an email

    I have access to original NES, Atari, Colecovision, Intellivision, and Sega systems and games. There are a few classics in there but lots of funny looking block games, too.

    AntiSonic: Got your mail. Appreciate it.

    I have to be the biggest moron in the world! Everytime I've looked at mame, or any other mame website, I'm a deer in headlights.

    What I download is apparently incorrect, and when i do successfully download a mame product, I still get that same damn incoherrent writing.

    This is ridiculous. I know I'm not that r****ded, but everytime I've seen these websites, I've never understood what I'm supposed to download to get what I'm looking for.

    For computer people, EVERY one of these sites is horribly patterned towards those who know a crap-load about computers.

    I'm not one of them.

    little help?
