Sparcade... ahh... brings a tear to me eye, remembering the first time I saw Pac-Man running on my P133. I think I first downloaded it from your site back then, Moose, IIRC...

I kept up on Sparcade releases as Dave slowly brought them out, even though I had discovered MAME at Atmospherical Heights (Delite... remember him and that site?) and it was barreling ahead at full-speed later in '97. I still remember checking AH every Monday for the newest release, as Mirko was putting them out once a week at the time. It was only when MAME started to support vector games that I started to lose interest in Sparcade, but it was still the fastest arcade emulator around for a while. I recall that some subsequent releases had games that weren't supported by MAME at the time (I think Alcon was one of them...?), so I kept checking up on it from time to time.

Dave did have somewhat of an independent personality. Not to dredge up any past rumors or anything, but I recall there was some sort of conflict with him and MAME wanting to use some of his research, and he wanted nothing to do with it. I could be mistaken, though; it's been a long time.

It's humorous to me now, that I'm a bit nostalgic for the earlier days of arcade emulation, when back then, I was nostalgic for the games of my youth. Getting old...
