No problem Hivetyrant, you are forgiven.
And just for interest sake I don't have a problem with freeware games, hehehe, everyone loves free stuff. But my previous message said why I actually went looking for those games on the net.
You know its funny actually that you don't get them as PC versions because on NES I got Battle Chess and I also have the one for PC. Hmmm. Isn't there some heaven sent angel that can maybe do these conversions for us... [img]smile.gif[/img] ? If not its not a problem the emulation of NES games work fine I suppose.

Oh boy, the file extensions I'll just have to go make sure of cos I'm at work when I post and I've also not messed around much with the MAME roms because they didn't seem to really work. I'll check them and post again tomorrow, but if I remember correctly you are right because there are .BIN files, .S* files, and I'm not too sure what else but I'll check it and reply.

Here's how it started Hivetyrant: I've never stopped being fond of all these old games, for example, I still have the Mortal Kombat 1 PC game, Doom 1, Doom 2, Heretic, Rise of the Triad, Wolfenstein 3D, Polica Quest, Golden Axe etc. I have always been a person that looks after my stuff so that it lasts forever. Sometimes I'm so bad I sometimes make backup copies to use and put away my originals. But here's the thing... recently I've been getting this fever, this fever for the old games. Yes games of nowadays have nice graphics, intense gameplay, they are more complex, puzzling, questing etc etc. But I think the simplicity and no need to THINK much (meaning actually relaxing) of the old games, has me hooked, because you can just relax and just enjoy the game. And when its game over its game over. The ONE game I actually went on the net for to look for a PC version was Tiger-Heli. My gosh thats a cool game! I still love it to pieces! I actually have another question for anyone that can answer: Are there any more games (new and old) such as Tiger-Heli, Demonstar (specifically this one), 1942, 1943 etc. available out there (all for PC) [img]smile.gif[/img] ?

Just thought you'd understand more if I tell you the story Hivetyrant.

If you or anyone can please answer the two questions I put in this message (marked with smilies IN-sentence) along with any comments if you have any, I would appreciate that very much.
