Yeah. Though It's weird how the thread went shit stormy over there in about 4 posts. Is this the normal procedure?

Yeah. Though It's weird how the thread went shit stormy over there in about 4 posts. Is this the normal procedure?

basically what he said is that: the stuff that was found will probably disappear in someone's collection and not be shared with the arcade public. what's the use of a find like that if it disappears in some archive?

and as i've said, i can somehow understand IF this stuff really were to disappear (which in the case of atariscott i don't think it will). it's like the marble madness 2 roms - why not make them available?
