Wasting all your pocket money

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I spent most of yesterday evening playing Rally Bike on my PC using MAME. It was rather groovy and very hard.

I usually don't like playing retro games, as the newer ones have much better eye-candy.

Regarding arcade games, I was always a big fan of Donkey Kong in the early years, and Nemesis and Salamander later on. Still got an Toshiba MSX with the Konami cartridges for those two games - retro bliss.
