Hello all,
Is anyone out there a fan of the Killer Instinct Arcade Games. I love them.

I spent a good chunk of my childhood playing arcade games. I'd travel all over London playing games.

I remember playing Streetfighter 1 in North Acton for the first time. The arcade was called Slots. Streetfighter 2 came out about a month later and I remember the hype leading up to it's release. Their were no disappointments.

Slots sadly closed. My friends and I were devastated, but we picked ourselves up and ventured up to Trocodero in Piccadilly. We heard through the grapevine that this was the biggest arcade in London. This was a long journey to a place we' never been before. There was lots of anticipation.

Once we'd arrived it was like heaven on earth. We'd never heard so much arcade game noise before. It was great.

It was then that I heard the distintive noises coming from the Killer Instinct 1 arcade machine. King Combo, Killer Combo, Combo Breaker!

It's a great fighting game with amazing characters, combos, sound effects and music. It is possible to pull off over 80 hit combos!

Anyway, enough of my nostalga trip.

Is anyone out there a fan of this great game.?

Do you have some stories about your arcade trips

Is anyone out there knowledgable about arcade emulators?
I'd love to be able to play an emulator of this game on PC. I know you can play a version on the SNES but its not got the same presents as the arcade.

I saw a Killer Instinct 1 Jamma Board for sale on Ebay but I haven't a clue how you put all these bits together to make a home arcade system.

Someone please help, I want to play Killer Instinct 1 arcade at home. Any ideas or advise.

No probs Keith. How's Ireland today?
It's cold but the sun is shining in London.
What are your main gadget likes and dislike?

Well, the temperature today is warmer. I like it this way. Hated it when it starts to blow strong gale.

My main gadgets? hmm... I'm kind of traditional, most likely my laptop and Palm Tungsten have to be my best liked gadgets, erm.. dislikes? Well, those that have no purposes, maybe :P

Hello Keith,
Hope you are ok.

If you dislike gales you'll be glad you weren't in London a couple of weeks ago. We had gales that brought down trees and caused major disruptions. The likes of which I have never seen.

Roll on Summer, that's what I say!

I have a number of gadgets. My most used and conicidentely, most liked gadgets are my Dell Laptop and MDA Vario 2 phone. They are reliable, practical and fun to use. As for dislikes, I agree with you. If it has no purpose, what's the use.
