The Fantasy Classic Arcade

[Steels]

I have put together a package which consists of over 100 classic arcade games from the late 70's, 80's and 90's. If there is a game not included in the set you can make a request and I'll make sure you get it. They are completely authentic and play EASILY on your home computer. The instructions are simple and should take an average child or adult two minutes to complete. I have shared this "Fantasy Arcade" (one zip file) with hundreds of people from my "Ron & Fez" group/service and have received tremendous feedback. Most people won't believe how easy it is to have this kind of "all-time" gaming available easy and FREE on your personal computer. If anyone is interested let me know at the contact information in my profile or here in this thread.

Any comments or feedback on the "MAME" program and ROMS (games) ?

My top Ten Classic Arcade Games (in no particular order):

1.) Arkanoid
2.) Double Dragon
3.) Karate Champ
4.) Paperboy
5.) Punch Out! (Original)
6.) Kung Fu
7.) Mortal Kombat
8.) Jungle Hunt
9.) Track & Field
10.) Mario Brothers (original NOT Super Mario Brothers)

Hey, Steels. I've been looking for some kind of arcade collection with Mame, but have been too lazy to do it myself.

Could I please have the collection?

I am file transferring the "arcade" to you now and below I will post the instructions.

Attached is everything you will need to have the exact arcade ROMs (games) played on your computer. This is an easy process and I will go through it via the steps below:

Download and Setup Instructions:

1.) Download the attached file within this E-mail.
2.) Open the file and double click on the "Mame" blue icon.
3.) Click on "file" (in the top left hand corner of mame) and scroll down to "Audit All Games" and click.
4.) After the audit is complete, double click on the folder that reads "Available".
5.) You can now double click on any of the games available and begin to play.

Mame Instructions:

1.) After you double click on the game of your choice you will need to type in (as instructed) the letters "OK" twice and the game will commence.
2.) The number "5" key will be your way to insert quarters for credits. You need to have a credit(s) to play.
3.) The number "1" key acts as the "Player 1" button and the number "2" key acts as the "Player 2" button.
4.) The "Tab" key opens up a configuration menu typically used for maintenance and options for the owner of the machine. The "Dip Switch" within this menu will enable you to control the difficulty and number of lives amongst other gaming choices.
5.) If you are using a keyboard as your controller then the following keys is what does what:

Arrow keys are up, down, left and right.
The action keys (fire buttons, jump and whatnot) are the space bar, control keys and the alt. These can be changed in the options tab in the mame folder.
6.) Use a game pad/joystick, and if you don't have one go out and but it, this will make the games much more enjoyable.
7.) Have Fun!

If there are any games you'd like that are not included then drop me a line at "msteels@aol.com". A great reference would be the "All Games" folder in the MAME program, it lists everything available.

Man, this is so awesome! You put in a hell of a collection, and obviously time into this.

Just from browsing over the game collection I spotted and played some of my favorites:
-Contra/Super Contra
-Punchout/Super Punchout
-And especially *Ghosts 'n Goblins*. I've wanted to play this game again for months, but somehow lost it for NES. Such an incredible game.

Now, more than ever I'm considering building one of these http://www.arcadedepot.com/

Thank you.
