1. I am...

... Doc, or Craig.

I am 34 (2003) and married with a little boy, with another expected next year, and currently doing a computer science degree in slow time, I expect to complete it sometime around 2145. I live in Perth, Western Australia, which is on the edge of the desert and 2800 km from the next state capital.

2. I got into MAME...

... when I said to my brother "I wish I could play games like Moon Patrol and Mr DO! on my computer", and he replied: "I think you can. I saw something about emulators when I was surfing the net on night shift, last week"... and the rest is history.

I found MAME thirtysomething and a ROMsite called emux.com that day, and have been MAMEing ever since. And in 2001... I joined the burning team!

3. I love playing...

Smash TV, Mr Do!, Black Tiger, 1942, Time Pilot, Raiden, Moon Patrol, Neo Drift Out, New Rally X, Pengo, Bubble Bobble, 10 Yard Fight, Roc n Rope and so many others....

4. I would like to say to Nicola and the MAME team...

Thanks to all of you for your awesome efforts. I can't tell you how much it means to me to be able to play the games I grew up on. You guys rock. I'll shout you a beer next time you are in Perth.
