Hi,
Has anyone tried MAME for the video games? A friend of mine told me about it yesterday and I was having a look tonight. Is it any good, and how have you all got on with it yourselves? Any advice before dipping in is appreciated of course!!

PS how do i know when my subscription/donation is due again to help keep this game vault going?

Regards,

VERY HAPPY GAMER (M4TTSKI)

I remember GORF - I read a review of it, I think it was in the second ever edition of C&VG (December 1981? i think I still have it somewhere), and played it for the first time in a service station on the M6, not long after that. Ahh the good old days.

Played it on MAME, but its not the same without the GORF joystick.
Where you came from, is gone.
Where you thought you were going, was never there.
And where you're at right now, aint no good, unless you can get away from it.
