Mclane.  You've got to help me get this set up at home.  I'm dying to check this shit out.

I'm officially hooked on DEE-NEE like a crack whore is hooked on.....crack.

I think you're talking about playing on your computer?  I can help you get MAME on there so you can play RBI arcade.  But its not worth it unless you have a controller.  So invest in one.

Some one should start a program to get Crack Whores online to Dee-Nee.com.  Sort of like a Methadone clinic, perhaps this would wean them off of their dependence on Crack and Whoring.  Just a thought.  Oh yeah, and eat my dong Tyrone O Chong.  Literally, I freaking crack up every time I write that or even think about writing that.

Pedrique - this thread seems as good as any to reply to you.  Windows XP and ME are both fine for playing NES games, so just use whichever is your main system.

First, you need an emulator.  I recommend FCEUltra.  Unzip that to a directory where you'll want to keep your NES games, perhaps something like "C:\NES".  You'll probably also want to create a shortcut to C:\NES\fceu.exe on your desktop so you can get to it easily.

Once you've done that, get some games.  Gantry has every version of RBI, and other ROMs are available at Vimm's Lair and Planet Emulation.  Usually the files you download are .zip files - unzip them to the directory you put FCEUltra in.

Now, start up FCEUltra.  Open the "File" menu, go to "Open", and pick the file representing the game you want to play.  The menu at the top of the window has options for changing controller settings and window size; hopefully the menu items themselves are descriptive enough for you.

That should be all you need to get going.  If not, I can try to answer any questions you have.
