Koral's Fun and Games website! yeah..
Feel welcome to browse the different sections.
My mood these days:
As gaming has been a part of my life going back many years I will open this topic as an introduction. It all started with the Spectrum, then later the C64, this was a sweet machine. Giana Sisters, Buggy Boy and Commando come to mind.
The best days where with the AMIGA! I had an A1200 with HDD and 48MB 68040 accellerator card, at the time this was a fast and powerful gaming computer.
The Workbench OS took only 5 seconds to boot. The HDD was 2GB but with the games being so small in size it was like impossibe to fill it up. The game developers had lots of freedom back then which led to creative and original ideas and in the end super gameplay!
Arcade gaming also took a lot of my free time and my friends too. I found these games had addictive gameplay and so well made that one was tempted to 'insert coin to continue'. My favorites where Double Dragon, Slapfight, Outrun and Super Sprint. I consider the mid 80's to be the best era in video arcades, it was sad when these machines slowly vanished from the local arcades and today nowhere to be found.
Searching the net I ran into the MAME Emulator which could emulate all these classics and people even build their own cabinets to play the games creating a very authentic experience. I quickly joined this community and built my very own which you can read about it on the MAME cabinet page. It emulates C64, Amiga and even has a Jukebox.
Even though its not an Arcade game, my all time favorite is Sensible World of Soccer, the gameplay is very addictve. Its great the way you control players 100% and can pinpoint the power and direction of shots and passes, something even todays football games are lacking. The simple 2D bird view creates a perfect angle to follow all the action. On a MAME cabinet with microswitch joysticks, the game is even better.
The MAME Cabinet also has Visual Pinball installed, this plays/simulates many real pinball machines and the editor allows you to create your own pinball tables. One of my own tables is called Irina Pinball which is an ice skating pinball game that pays tribute to the Russian ice skater, Irina Slutskaya.

The PC for me came quite late, around mid 90's when I sold my Amiga. I still regret it this day.
Through the years my favorites are:
Unreal Tournament
SimCity 4
Codename Eagle
Need for Speed - Porsche Unleashed
Doom 2
GTA - San Andreas
Old games that never get old!
I'm also a big supporter of freeware, games and programes. There seems to be so many sites out there only to make money, I like to think different about it and share stuff for free.
