> Another one I remember with great fondness is, Jose's (I believe that was how it was spelled).
Jose Q’s. was the place back then in 2000 for both myself and my cousin. It was there that my cousin and myself learned how to run and use MAME with Sega Carnival and Gremlins Frogs.
We were happy campers at the time, but didn’t realize Nicola Samoria’s plan was having to stick around until the analog audio for those games would be emulated. I told that same message to Pete / Kazzy about his game Sega Borderline back at the 2006 Fullerton, CA SoCal MAME meet. Pete finally got his wish with Borderline audio being done.
I would also go to Emuviews to read any weekly ‘Rumormill’ updates that were posted usually on Thursday nights.
Emuviews was also where I had first encountered the crazy posts from Dexter. No one can ever top Dexter’s posts. Twisty combined almost all that he could gather of Dexters posts.
> Used to wait at night for the next mame release then the next day at work
With me joining in on emulation in Spring 2000, I had already missed a lot of the early action, but I am glad to have still been able to see what has been accomplished by this time. For my generation of late 60s and early 1970s still a ways to go, but fortunate to see some stuff finally happen such as Mattel led games emulation from earlier this year.
