Howdy! :)
Hello there - just wanted to introduce myself.

I'm James, checking in from Barcelona, Spain. I spent an unseemly amount of time in the 80s either hunched over the mighty ZX SPECTRUM or trying to peer over the shoulders of older guys in smoky arcades.

Haven't had much time to explore yet, but this website seems PHENOMENAL!!! Such a huge range of games & systems, friendly-seeming people on the forums, and I'm amazed and delighted at how quickly you verify scores! MASSIVE THUMBS UP!!!!!

It would be wonderful if anyone could suggest a coin-op game or two to try. I love playing the Pac series, esp. Ms & Jr., Satans Hollow, Mr. Do! , Dig Dug, Rally X, amongst others. I was introduced to the amazing Japanese oddity I'M SORRY recently and any suggestions of similarly obscure but fun games would be really welcome.

Anyway, looking forward to having a ton of fun here!

Cheers!

Re: Howdy! :)
Well, Steven, I have to say that's Quite An Original Proposition

But with Q A O P , them's the keys I always used in the ZX Spectrum days for Up (Q) Down (A) Left (O) Right (P) when you could redefine the keys in a game and SPACE for fire Could never find a joystick with the same sensitivity as the keys...

A habit that's continued with MAME for me... I'm *FAR* too ashamed to attach a picture of my laptop keyboard with the Q, A, O and P keys missing the printed letters on them and the blank keys looking strangely shiny....

Well, the next time I'm at my parents' house in Ireland (Easter, probably) I'll take a photo for you and Tenser

My old ZX Spectrum +2 is there too, so as an added bonus, I can get you a pic of a QAOP-less 1980s classic British home computer keyboard as well

I see you from your profile you're a Canyon Bomber! WOOT! The greatest arcade game in history with only one button and no other control. We may need to put our heads together to figure out how to beat the Mighty Permafrost on this!
