Lol, actually I don't mind Shoma's antics, it, ah, adds a bit of life to the thread. Even though I know flock-all about baseball. As for my early days of emulation... back in the BBS days a number of us would grab the best DOS games (that's why I have so many of them), and along came a Galaga game that looked just like the real thing. Years later I had another look at this Galaga and discovered it was a mame emulator, version 0.21. By then we had the internet at work so I started downloading roms and joined a forum in Jan 2004. Eight months later I got internet at home and finally I could indulge this new hobby.
