…And the Present is getting pretty dang belligerent.
For the past, I’ve been thinking quite a bit about high school, partly because of an email I got out of the blue from an old classmate, and partly by finding Brea people for the first time on Friendster. Yes, I know I keep going on and on about Friendster…
The future.. well, we’ll leave that one alone for now.
For the present, well… you know.. I’m not going to touch that one either.
On a side note: Due to the magic of MAME, I was finally able to finish the Willow arcade game. I’d never made it past the second level, but after shoveling in the equivalent of almost $50, I finally beat the dang thing. Hooray for me. My thumb hurt afterwards.
I want to beat Rampage: World Tour but it froze up on me after a while. Not sure if I wanna try that again.
Congratulations!
I remember the ending of the game somewhat (A lot of English voice for a Capcom game at that time) – I think I actually have that installed on my Mame here, other than that, my favorite Capcom CPS system game would have to be Knights of the Round – Think Final Fight with a medieval theme.
In other news, I’m bound to head to San Jose this weekend to see how I fare on real machines again, for California Extreme – a 2 day classic arcade game fest in downtown San Jose – $40 for unlimited play on a ton of coin-munchers, vintage pinballs, prototypes, classics, rare machines, etc.. Great fun – Enjoyed myself last year.
Rock on, dude!
Oh, crap, it snuck up on me. It was much later last year.
I better take up a collection!
Oh yeah, I kept an eye on the site and such this year, I’m on their mailing list as well… It was around Sept. last year.
If you’re going to save up, do it very quickly!
