2084 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Only been on the Island for a year or so, just wondered if anyone was still playing the classics. Don't get me wrong, I have every console, handheld pretty much known to man, but I still love the old stuff! I remember the arcade on Strand used to have Pac-Land, but that was about as close as they got to classics and (I forget the name) there's a pub in Laxey with a multigame cocktail machine with a few rip offs in. So yeah, any old schoolers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alibaba Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 MAME runs loads of great stuff! Recently we've been hammering Windjammers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2084 Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 I have a MAME control panel in the kitchen, got bored with using a keyboard / joypad. She loves it.... (not much) Got half a dozen full size dedicated machines too as well as a few PCBs. Anyone know anywhere now that has the older stuff? A colleague spoke about somewhere in PSM, but I haven't been.

I ALWAYS miss out on them on eBay (too cheap!) but I want one with a decent (100+) selection of games. They go for silly money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite silly but fast, furious fun after a couple of beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ans Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 What was the arcade called where Capones is? Funland! They always used to turn a blind eye to us walking in with screwdrivers, taking the front panels off machines and getting free credits as long as we didn't steal cash.

Tearz Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I'm currently playing through FF VI on SNES, but I doubt this is oldschool enough to qualify! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
