EngineeRunner - Classic Video Games

EngineeRunner, Corp. | index | e-mail burst

It's a real joy to recall those electronic gaming memories during your youth. For nostalgia purposes and to reminesque, this page was created to focus on the emulation of classic video games. Emulators are programs that emulate (play) ROM's (video games) from arcade or console systems such as Atari, NES, SNES, N64, PSX, et cetera. One example of an arcade emulator is MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator), which is still running strong. ROM's are scattered everywhere... one site named MAME.dk was once a heavy ROM source to arcade games, but has been discontinued years ago due to copyright infringement.

The story... "First the food synthesizer started putting forth a pasty green muck in place of the good terran java I asked for; then before I even got a chance to dump the stuff into the recycling unit and give the machine a good whack, all hell broke loose. ¶ Now we border patrol recon pilots are used to dealing with crisis situations; comes with the territory. Heck, I remember one time during the Shenobi uprising, I was on a routine fly-by of Sector 5 and walked right into a whole squadron of the Shenobi vanguard forces. I was just coming out of the shadow of Jupiter, and I see scads of the 'nobs sitting there just as pretty as you please. I slammed the ACME XQJ-37 retro-thrusters on full barrel and managed to duck back behind Jupiter before they took notice of me, but I darn near soiled my space suit. ¶ But this time I'd really blown it. I must have been sniffing space-dust the night before, because I somehow managed to end up not on the lovely Stratocaster R&R facility orbiting the Albuquerqutory star system, but right smack in the middle of the Maelstrom. The ear-piercing whine of the collision sensors made this painfully clear, not to mention the fact that the command console was lit up like a Christmas tree. ¶ The Maelstrom is border patrol lingo for the expansive Hormel asteroid belt that stretches all the way from Alpha Centuri to Beta Carotene, and acts as a buffer between United Planet space and Shenobi space. Nobody in their right mind enters the Maelstrom; we learned that lesson the hard way. Way back in '63 when we were selling weapons to the Shenobi to help pay for the interest on the interest on the inter-planetary debt, we lost hundreds of supply freighters in the Maelstrom. ¶ And now here I am, smack-dab in the middle of it with just my luck to see me through."
