Favorite MAME discoveries

I think the best one I've found is Escape from the Planet of Robot Monsters although it's damn hard to control on a keyboard. I have a soft spot for the insane Ninja Baseball Batman and the somewhat ridiculous Cadillacs and Dinosaurs

My favorite MAME game is the "endless cycle of top-100 websites which link to other top-100 websites which link back to the first top-100 webites all with 30 pop-ups" challenge when trying to find a ROM.

Yeah, that's a good game. I've played that one. Luckily, I've also played the my-friend-hooked-me-up game.

Took me a really long time -- maybe it just hadn't been encoded yet -- but I finally found the GI Joe arcade game I remembered from middle school.

For some reason, it took me a while to remember Capcom's Alien VS. Predator. Sweet game.

The Journey Frontiers game. Game sucks, but it was cool to see.

WORD!

I too love this game, one of Capcom's best and its a shame it never got ported to the Saturn. But at least they ported the Dungeons and Dragons Collection. I wish Capcom (and this is a pretty big wish) would bring back their "Generations" collection, or do another one of their arcade classics, like A vs P. Not to mention other fighters, and beat 'em ups that never made it to our shores.

The logic of ROM website webmasters is beyond us mere mortals.

Can we start up a ROM -trading club here at DVD talk or does that break forum rules?

If it's okay, I'd love to start swapping ROMS.
