I love these two statements, they are the essence of trying to pass along how gaming was and where it has evolved, and there is nothing like seeing a child sit in front of an old Pong or Telstar system and actually getting excited and enjoying themselves, especially if they are really adept at the modern systems. :goodpost: :thankyou:

Well spoken, both of you.

And I totally agree; seeing my young neffew playing on the NES after spending hours at home behind his Ps3 and the NES bringing a bigger smile to his face than the Ps3 games.. it's just like you've done your job as retro-gamer :ugeek: :good:

I always officially sucked at DOOM, so a combination of heart attacks & strokes (accompanied by sudden intense eruptions of blood pressure & temporary attacks of verbal Tourrettes) is pretty much the norm if I ever play it, even at my youthful age.... :oops:

Well, I just posted in the old guest book :D That'll learn ya for putting its link first :P

I just joined today, had a browse and made my donation.

So far I really like what I see and am keen to get into more emulation soon.
My favorite will always be the apple IIe and the great game, Rails West! I don't think I will ever get sick of it.

Thank you very much for this site and I wish you many years of success. :thankyou:

Manfred

Hello all, I'm exo, an administrator on the video game collecting database known as vgcollect (not soliciting, just saying). I really like the amount of detail when it comes to scans, rom, and et cetera here. Keep up the great work, Trout! This community seems great.
