I have noticed a VAST amount of bootlegged arcade games on here, and many of them run on different game hardware. For example, there are 2 bootleg version of "Pac-Man" running on "Galaxian" hardware (entiled "Pac-Man" and "Ghostmuncher"). "Crazy Kong" is an "officially licensed" bootleg of "Donkey Kong" and it runs mainly on "Crazy Climber" hardware, and different versions run on "Scramble" and "Galaxian" hardware. Could this technically be considered an early example of emulation?

Hmm.... sort of. It Isnt exactly the same, but it is pretty close. I don't really know enough about that kind of stuff to answer.

Yes, this is goodboy's layout. If I am using this layout it means that I miss goodboy, and I want him to come back. I use this layout as a tribute to him, because he was a great friend. Send tgags123 a PM if you also miss goodboy and you would like to use this layout to show how much you want him to come back. Please come back goodboy...
