Was just looking at some old pics of the machines i've had in the past including Killer Instinct 1&2, Mortal Kombat 2, Smash TV, Operation Thunderbolt but the best I ever had was this:-


Was called GTI Club and you could be either a Old Skool Mini, Fiat 100, Renault 5 Gordini Turbo or for another credit a Lambo.
Basically you raced through a French city Cote de Auzra (spelling) against the computer or your mate, best thing was the handbrake

Always regretted selling it but I had to due to moving house and having no where to put it

lol, was gunna play that the other day @ southend but couldnt be arsed in the end. Good game though. I found that www.romnation.net is the best for sega,nes + other roms and emualtors. Been playing ghouls and ghosts and Streets of rage for ages yesterday.

I remember these games, never played any other arcade as much as SF2 even when they were released on console they still didnt play as the arcade!

Rippers

Couldn't agree more, playing the arcade version of SF2 with a proper arcade joystick is the bollocks even the arcade perfect versions on the X-box don't control the same way.

What was everyones favorie version of SF2 mine was Hyper Fighting although the original Champion Edition was good espeically those dodgy versions where it was very fast and you could do two fireballs, moves in the air and stuff

edd

got the megadrive out the cupboard few months ago.

got a few rare games but not r-type

streets of rage 3 is fairly rare
ghouls and ghosts is good game

must get some more off fleabay

was thinking of getting a pc engine as well

i went onto that site above(romnation) amd i downloaded sega genisis emulator and a snes one but i cant get none of them to work? they extract files then i never know which to click on and when i did i just got a black screen?

Also what is a ROM? and when i get these emulators going can i get games from the same site aswell?

BM08

Forget my last post people, not only have i sorted the emulator problem out but ive also worked out what a ROM is!

Simon Day

Fooking hell guys - I am addicted to retro gaming!!

MAME

Its all I have to say get MAME and a PS2 controller adaptor for your PC and you can get all the clasics form SSF2 - Samurai showdown 5!!!!

I also still play my US snes, N64, saturn etc.....

Prehaps I am a bit sad on the sly?

Simon Day

MAME

Get it now!

and go to ROMWORLD

boXXer

what games can you run an MAME? i downloaded it but the games i had on ROM didnt work.

Fil

just about every arcade ( coin op ) since 1975 up to late 90s

ie pacman, afterburner, out run, sf2, simpsons 4 player turtles 4 player

Simon Day

boXXer - It takes a while to set up! A good tip is to have a look at some of the MAME forums, you will find lots of technical help there.

Fil

or pay some one £ on ebay, get the lot ready to run, with instructions

spark

There were some dodgy versions that used to turn up at local fun fairs lol, sure they were all running game Genies

BM08

So you can get an adaptor to work a PS2 joypad on your pc?
Where can i get said adaptor from?

P.s will it work with emulators? its abit naff trying to play games like paperboy and nba jam with a keyboard!

Fil

I use playstation pads pluged into a convertor that gives you a usb plug for your pc

M.A.D.RST

Who was into there rally games?? I used to play one on a single standing arcade machine, it had a steering wheel, two gears - high and low and pedals. The screen view was kinda at an angle so you were looking at the car from top and side, and just had to beat the clock to get round the course and onto the next stage!
Anyone have a clue what game im going on about?

Franco

Sega Rally!

BM08

Wow thats great, only a few quid aswell

BM08

Is there not any issues with some emulators that wont let you use a joypad?

Fil

ive only ever used it on mame, and some games are no good on it, as in track ball, some driving games but likes of street fighter, simpsons is all good for the price

M.A.D.RST

No not sega rally

Fil

wernt gt4?

M.A.D.RST

No, were talking old school, say about 8 years ago

spark

I remeber which you mean, the car went from the bottom of the screen upwards. There was a snow stage wasnt there?

M.A.D.RST

And you thought that was expensive....................................

Best game ever

M.A.D.RST

Thats it, can you remember what it was called?

spark

Nope,

Will try and remeber though

Zetecfiesta

why the hell is it all so expensive??

Fil

collectable rareness, as back in the day a cartrige was around £150 compared to a sega or nintendo at £30ish, only for rich kids.

Everyone had a sega or nintendo, but probebly like myself only ever see a neogeo in magazines

Zetecfiesta

oh right!
