The lure of nostalgia has led me down this rabbit hole as I finally found (maybe!) a way to play an arcade game I obsessed over back in the late eighties.
That would be John Elway's Team Quarterback by Leyland. There's no telling how many quarters/hours I sacrificed to play this game but had me hooked
on day 1. Because of this game I got into PC gaming in 1992 later on when Konami's NFL hit the shelves. Back then I would come in early to work and play
it on my co-worker's ALR 486 which he kindly permitted. A whole host of PC football titles followed after that but none quite captured the magic like
that arcade game back in the day.
Now to my current predicament. Mame is uncharted territory for me and from what found out so far there you have options when it comes to getting started.
I installed Mame itself without a front end and played a game without a hitch no problem. Would a front end be preferable like Launchbox or retroArch and
would it make it easier to calibrate a joystick? On a side note what joystick would be recommended for these arcade style games?
