The Arcade Cabinet: ROM Realizations
If you recall from my “Intro” post in this series, one of my goals was to be able to play the three big Konami beat-em-up arcade games: The Simpsons, TMNT, and X-Men. TMNT II: Turtles in Time, as well.
I don’t blog much about writing—although it does happen from time to time. These posts tend to be about my current hobby project, interesting (to me) observations, and the like.

Recently retired, I find myself with more time than money—and a desire to break away from my novel writing now and then. Way, way, way back in the day I’d made a cocktail-style MAME cabinet, which has long since moved on to other owners. I found myself with a hankering to play some of my old 80’s favorites on a proper console.
I have a “Star Trek” logo tattooed on my calf, and I’m pretty sure you weren’t expecting this story to start out like that.
