Darn!mame.dk had to shutdown its free download service of arcade roms due to copyright reasons.
Long live shoddy graphics and huge pixels!

Neverdescribe them as shoddy! They were an effective use of limited hardware. :-p
But yeah, old games are much better than modern ones!
Gimme Stunt Car Racer over Gran Turismo any day!

Remember the phone-in gamesthey used to have on the saturday morning kids TV show called "Motormouth"?
One was Magic Pockets by the Bitmap Brothers, which had a cheesy mix of Betty Boo's "Doin' the Do" as the theme.
The other was "Weird Dreams", where you start off in a candy floss machine, then go to a fairground where you get attacked by a giant bee, then you went into a hall of mirrors which lead to either a desert with floating fish, or a garden where you had a fight with some nasty roses.
Well, I've got both of them on my Amiga. They're great.
I also love Archer Macleans Pool (which was the same engine as Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker, but with pool, obviously). The cool thing about that was that the oppositions balls would pull faces at you...
Marvlus!

Hmmm...I didn't use mame.dk much 'cos of their bandwidth limits... I wonder if the CD burners are still offering their services... Let's all check here.
