I don't remember what 486 machine me and brother had back in those days but they only ran them at 80% speed or so. I immediately went to buy a new one just to play EMU. Even Jeff Minter was there, being a legendary Tempest fan that he is.
We had a discussion forum on Usenet for these classic emulators. Then there was a Xevious standalone emulator. I drove to my parent's house immediately (he was still living at home).īack in those days MAME did not emulate vector games. I went literally BERZERK (no pun intended). I was like: 'You mean someone has recreated those games?' My little brother (who was about 15 back then) called me and told me that 'Hey, there is an emulator that allows you to play Gravitar and Space Duel'. I remember when I got MAME and Neil Bradley's EMU.
