thanks for that link interesting to read about Galaxian3
now i would like a version of that for wii...4 player pointer based shootem up like that would be fun!
fact is things have moved on...people actually like sitting in their front room playing modern games on big tvs and not standing out in a cold damp garage...nostalgia is great but having a bloody great box to play one single game is just nuts these days...unless it is starwars!
i still have my mame machine which i built 3 years ago..which i have not even turned on in the last year.
but i think there is still a place for a retro arcade museum though...i would love to visit such a place and play all the games of my youth! it was a shame retrokade never materialized!! that looked like a fantastic idea? is it dead?
i would have willingly travelled to portsmouth and dropped 20 quid for a couple of hours of freeplay on wide range of retro machines!

I'm sorry but I just never saw the point of moving the whole thing over, I'd rather receive emails then filter or bin them as required. What's really killed UKVAC (apart from people moving on) is people forever trying to subvert the standard eg ukvac, UKVAK, uk-vac, whatever; also typing 'ukvac' into google comes up with a three year old page

, and there's a huge message on the yahoogroups list saying 'we've moved please go to the following URL'
Anyways, wasn't this suggested or rather implemented without consultation some months back, I did sign up but frankly couldn't see the value added in moving over so just kept the yahoo mailing list. When I was fiddling around on the board some days back I couldn't even remember what details I registered with. Truth be told I shall re-register and use whatever the majority are using but basically it's reinventing the wheel.
Anyways, we'll see, in the meantime I randomly found the following page the other day,
http://www.dragonsl airfans.com/ it's very shiny so enjoy.
