Ah those 2 color themes will always be ingrained in my memory. I didn't know it was saved on archive.org

Good old mame.dk. I don't believe they could handle all the emulated roms these days and that is also excluding all the entries from the hashlist files.


Going back to spring 2000, when first discovering non-commercial online emulation sites, the first site I visited was t.eckels Arcade@Home web site, but the other web site I forget the name was where I had first stumbled across all the screenshots of MAME emulation of games such as Tapper or Frogger or Bank Panic. I was guessing 'how could this be?" since the games were not Digital Eclipse marketed products. I sent links to my cousin at the time and his response over the telephone at the time "There has to be something good that you and I are looking at, but I am not sure what."

Two days later, he had it figured out and was already partly familiar with MAME and roms while I was just getting started with setting up MAME after visiting JoseQ's Emuviews and grabbing Gremlin's Frogs and Gremlin/Sega Carnival roms and being stunned at being able to play those two games for first time since 1980. And this was back in 2000.
