All right you lot, let's have you.

Ok, so how much did it cost to make that? Are there instructions on the net to build one? Do you wanna make me one? Can I come visit on my vacation and play all the games I used to play when I was a kid? Come on....I want answers!

That would be awesome to have!:cheeky:

[Gav240z]

yeah i'd be proud of it too looks really great. Where did you find the 280zaaapp game do you have a good resource for getting roms from?

I used to be real into roms and emulators, especially the old Nintendo NES games .

I have Shinobi and I used to love that as a kid.

Ninja turtles was another good 1

i could go on

Ya...but can it do 'Pong'?

Uh oh, I think I just dated myself.....

Ok here are some answers and a link to my photo gallery where you can see many pix of it from the very beginning all the way to the completed game.

Cost was about $1000 as she sits today. There are kind of instructions available, you have to do some research and pull some of the information together yourself but it's all out there (this is how I found out about these things); I'd be willing to point you in the right direction (i.e. provide my bookmark list for this project). I could make another one I'm sure but not only will it cost you materials but also my time (these are time consuming!) and shipping (shipping from what I understand runs around $300 for these guys). I promise that it would cost less than what other comapnies are selling them for...$5000+ (these ones do have a larger monitor than mine currently does, but that will change). Sure, you can come play....just make sure you bring lots of quarters! Yes, it has a working coin door!

First thank you for the complement! Same as above for the research and also sharing my bookmarks. There is a group of people called "MAME Burners" who have the ROMs and will burn copies for the cost of the CDs and shipping (roughly speaking). Some of these people have other ROMs like the Atari 2600, Super NES, Gameboy, Apple IIe, TI99, etc, etc, etc (the list is VERY long). I got the entire set about a year ago...I think everything takes around 40 CDs.

Anything else we can either take off-line or start a new thread for, I don't want to take away from what this thread started out as.

2Many,

Ooohhh, Keith,

I sincerely hope and pray that it is a BEFORE shot. ANYTHING would be an improvement after that. (Poor Alfapup).

Tanny,

Yes Victor,

Those poor, neglected little animals are really very hard done by. The thin one is a real tart. She'll roll onto her back for anyone who rubs her belly or scratchs her chest.

The fat one is very inteligent. Considers herself to be expert in all things and often advises me on whatever I may be doing on "Precious".

Rick.

Just thought I'd revive this one, since many of you haven't posted your pics yet....:devious:

C'mon now, we've got new members who weren't afraid to post their pics, so what's wrong with some of you "regular" members?

C'mon Royce, Daniel, Smokey, 240znz, 240Z, St. Stephen and a few more that I can't think of that are or have been regular contributors to the site.

I've noticed a lot of you who posted pics in this thread, haven't posted them in the Mugshots Gallery either..

Chloe....................????????

Having just checked out the mugshots, I notice that we're still a bit short on photos of shielas but mr AlfaShyGuy still has "Computer Problems".

YEEEEEESSSS, :devious: :devious: :devious:

C'mon now Lachlan, but don't forget to let us know WHICH photo is the BEFORE shot.

Rick.

[Alfadog]

, would you have it??? My computer is STILL getting fixed, and the camera seems to have epilepsy. Honest! After seeing all the faces here I don't think I have much to be shy about... :tapemouth

p.s. Rick you look much younger than I expected - your life hasn't taken its toll on you quite as much as I had imagined. Keep the peace

WE will be the judge of THAT! :devious: IF we're ever given the opportunity.

Does anyone live near the Pup? Maybe someone who can snap a candid picture in a compromising situation?

Lachlan, is the recipe for youthful appearance mate.

Haven't partaken of any alcoholic drink since 1968 (till yesterday).

Never even been tempted to take drugs (that's for fools).

Spend as much time as possible in peaceful, quiet activity (such as fishing).

Keep mind and body active in enjoyable pastimes (e.g. procreative practice).

Last of all, choose the very BEST recent photo you can find to add to this thread.
