That is what runs all arcade programs. If you are running Windows, download the *.exe (second in the download list).
This program is all you really need. However, the interface isn't graphical by default. I recommend running MAMEUI but there are tons of "front ends" that let you just click and run a game: www.mameui.info/
Whole trick is to make sure you know where you are installing things. You have to get any ROM into the folder called "rom" (duh). Do it properly and you should see an arcade machine icon in your MAMEUI folder. Shoot down to Tron and double-click. If you remember the original game, a joystick for your computer is the best way to run it.
Like I said, though, you are on your own to supply the blacklights.

I watched "Bad Teacher" last night. Not great but it had some funny parts.
It also had some some Priest music in it.. A little bit of "You've Got Another Thing Comin'"
near the beginning and a little bit of "the Ripper" near the middle.
I'll give it a thumbs up just for that.

To get any old-school video game is a relatively easy process (says the nerd) once you get the hang of it.

Ah, you are very young, then. No worries.You mentioned the "1st one" which would have been the early '80s.
Like saying that the first King Kong starred Jack Black. We are talking apples and oranges.Glad you liked the follow-up to the remake of a classic.
@HB - I still want to turn on the blacklights in my room when I play the ORIGINAL (yes, there were remakes to the game too) Tron on computer.

in the book there is way more action than the movie showed. lots of lost details.
havent seen battle Royale might have to do that.
Oh, right on the money! The bouncing cam did NOTHING (sure, make it look like there is some action happening when there is none). They look like they are going to OZ and yet manage to survive without food or drink. Made no sense to someone who didn't read the book. I was thinking the entire time: Running Man! Fine short story, BTW. Got it here in front of me.
I read reviews later that said that the makers of the Japanese film, Battle Royale, should have sued them. I haven't seen it but have it on my Netflix list as of tonight.

I haven't got to see the new Transformers but I bet it does look fantastic in 3D. The last 3D I saw was the last Pirates of the Caribean. It really had no need whatsoever to be 3D, and by the script they were surely hoping 3D might cover up the fact they were scrapping the bottom of the barrel on that film.
However, I will stop everything I'm doing next week and go see the last Harry Potter.

LOL ... that would be me. We live in an apartment building and there are a couple of families of birds living in the trees nearby. One in particular sits on a wire and talks, as if broadcasting to the rest of the birds. Same bird everyday. Anyway ... will be sure to choose the healthier seed should I decide to secretly feed the birds : )
Becks, HRMG, and all. I am too chicken to have another pet. I refuse. Not that I do not love animals. Quite the opposite. Sorry for your family's loss Becks. HRMG, the decision is difficult. But at the end of the day is the most humane. Sending support if that day has to come anytime soon ~
My mom puts millet out on several trees during the winter, like she is afraid birds will starve without her.

If she does, and has been feeding them pure seeds or heavy millet for years, be aware that it is a battle to get them to switch. Look at the Roudybush website for instructions or google "converting your bird to pellets" for more info. You just can't switch main diet from one day to another. All but that budgie I saved from the dumpster were always on pellets. Took QUITE some time and patience to convert the budgie. Sadly, too late. Necropsy showed exactly what I described. Died of fatty liver disease.
Head banger wrote:
interesting. I think she has a cockatile and a budgie, but not sure. will pass that along.
guidogodoy wrote:
Yup. Leads to "fatty liver disease" which does away with many a bird. Also not a good idea to feed them seeds as they are also high fat. Just junk food, really. Even those mixes are a bad idea as birds tend to only eat the "twinkies" leaving all the "veggies." That is why most bird experts feed birds extruded pellets. Basically takes a better mix of the good and bad and fortifies it with vitimins and minerals. ZuPreem, Roudybush, something along those lines in terms of pellets are always better.
That is for parrots, cockatiels, budgies, etc., though. A canary, on the other hand, is a higher energy bird and can get away with a seed diet and more millet as a treat. Depends on the type of bird.

Very touching conversation here and I simply wanted to butt in to send my best to your pooch and your family, HRMG. Having just come back from the store where I got Kiko (and Fred) some celebratory millet, you know how much I adore animals. Neither get this treat very often as it is akin to giving twinkies to birds, but it is her birthday. Adoption day, really. I pulled out her papers and found that I got her 11 years ago to the day, thus the celebration. I mentioned it before but I actuallly adopted Kiko to be a companion to the parakeet I rescued from a dumpster (yeah, thrown away in the cage) years before. Sadly, that parakeet died two days before Kiko arrived. Odd how all of this turns out. I've said it before but while Calvin gets most of the spotlight, Kiko has always ruled the house having bonded to me almost the moment she arrived.
All the best from my feathered and furry family to yours.

If she does, and has been feeding them pure seeds or heavy millet for years, be aware that it is a battle to get them to switch. Look at the Roudybush website for instructions or google "converting your bird to pellets" for more info. You just can't switch main diet from one day to another. All but that budgie I saved from the dumpster were always on pellets. Took QUITE some time and patience to convert the budgie. Sadly, too late. Necropsy showed exactly what I described. Died of fatty liver disease.
interesting. I think she has a cockatile and a budgie, but not sure. will pass that along.

Even those mixes are a bad idea as birds tend to only eat the "twinkies" leaving all the "veggies." That is why most bird experts feed birds extruded pellets. Basically takes a better mix of the good and bad and fortifies it with vitimins and minerals. ZuPreem, Roudybush, something along those lines in terms of pellets are always better.
That is for parrots, cockatiels, budgies, etc., though. A canary, on the other hand, is a higher energy bird and can get away with a seed diet and more millet as a treat. Depends on the type of bird.

HRMG - I'm so sorry to hear about your sweet boy...there is nothing as awful as coming to that point in a pet's life where you must make decisions...they truly are the most loyal and loving and honest 'friends' we could ever have. I can't imagine a world without dogs or cats. They give us so much and as for nothing in return. Just keep loving him the way you have been and hope for the best. He sounds like he has had a wonderful life with people who adored him, and that means everything, so just keep on treasuring him each day that you've got him. I'm sure he knows that whatever you decide, it is a decision made with love and respect for him. If you can and want to, post a pic of him so we can 'meet' him.

Doing what you may have to do is one of the worst things one has
to do. They were only cats but I had to do it three times in a two year
period and it crushed me. One was 15, one 11, and one 9. I said I
would never have pets again because of it. Of course a year later I
had another cat. I never will have more than one animal at a time
again though. It's too tough to deal with at the end. I'm really sorry
you have to deal with it now. My only advice is think of the dog more
than yourself. Don't make him suffer just to keep him around.

My mum had to make that awful decision on thursday - worse that she was at work, her dog was on the operating table and she had to make that call over the phone (11 year old labrador, good age for that breed of dog, but they found a massive tumour around her heart). She called me while I was at work to let me know and it was awful, but it was the best thing for Zoe. She was well loved and had a great life, just like your doggy! Enjoy every second with him All our animals are the same age, which could work out quite bad but I wouldn't change a second of our time together.
Thanks Spa, that means so much to me. He is 15 and my first baby. He made our house a home. He is having more bad days lately and is going through a tough time at the moment. But they have passed before and maybe it will pass again, I don't know. We put him on Rimadyl and he seems so much better. But I think he may have degenerative myelopathy that German Shepherds get. Either that or hip dysplasia. He will let us know when it is time, I'm sure of that. I don't want to do it too soon, but I also do not want him to suffer..... it's a very hard decision and one that I have to feel that I did the right thing or I will never forgive myself. So I cherish every single day we have together and treat him like the King that he is!

I know how much Wolfie means to you and it will hurt. Hurts just as bad as the passing of any loved one. My daughter and I still talk about Max and Bella and we remember them fondly now, and on occasion a few tears still spill.
They come into our lives and give love and acceptance, and you will never forget it. I'm sorry your at the time the decision must be made, I know how bad that feels. Very sorry.

My sister gave her dog an arthritis drug, which they got for free because her husband was a drug sales rep. That helps. Their boy lived to the age of 19 and he was half collie half chow, a big boy like your's. Here's to hoping the drugs keep working. I could ask my brother in-law what kind of arthritic drugs he carries. He represents Merck, I don't know who makes Rymadyl. If it's Merck wont hurt to ask about it.

I know how much Wolfie means to you and it will hurt. Hurts just as bad as the passing of any loved one. My daughter and I still talk about Max and Bella and we remember them fondly now, and on occasion a few tears still spill.
They come into our lives and give love and acceptance, and you will never forget it. I'm sorry your at the time the decision must be made, I know how bad that feels. Very sorry.

I should have stayed away from this page. I feel so bad for you.
Doing what you may have to do is one of the worst things one has
to do. They were only cats but I had to do it three times in a two year
period and it crushed me. One was 15, one 11, and one 9. I said I
would never have pets again because of it. Of course a year later I
had another cat. I never will have more than one animal at a time
again though. It's too tough to deal with at the end. I'm really sorry
you have to deal with it now. My only advice is think of the dog more
than yourself. Don't make him suffer just to keep him around.
Take care. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS from Saturday, July 09, 2011 5:32:35 PM)

Thanks Spa, that means so much to me. He is 15 and my first baby. He made our house a home. He is having more bad days lately and is going through a tough time at the moment. But they have passed before and maybe it will pass again, I don't know. We put him on Rimadyl and he seems so much better. But I think he may have degenerative myelopathy that German Shepherds get. Either that or hip dysplasia. He will let us know when it is time, I'm sure of that. I don't want to do it too soon, but I also do not want him to suffer..... it's a very hard decision and one that I have to feel that I did the right thing or I will never forgive myself. So I cherish every single day we have together and treat him like the King that he is!
I know that feeling my friend. Max was about 11 1/2 when he was diagnosed with Cushings. I asked about the meds and they said it would only make his life about six months longer and the quality of life would go down. Needless to say, I let him be happy until his last days without the drugs.

[Budred] Saturday, July 09, 2011 9:12:42 AM
You had to say cry didn't you. I love animals but probably wouldn't watch it because of the sadness factor.
I was all for Marley and Me and until I saw it was a tearjerker and now I won't watch it. Hell, I'm still traumatized
from Old Yeller. Here's an example of how much I like animals. This happened yesterday. I was sitting here at
the computer when something caught the corner of my eye. I thought it was my cat so I didn't even look. Then
it caught my eye again and this time it was about 5 times bigger than my cat. There was a dog walking between
my couches. I was like "Hey!!" and it walked back into my kitchen. I was clapping at it to go outside. It would take
a couple of steps and then look back. When it got outside on my steps it stopped and was looking back at me.
It was an old dog and I was feeling sad for it. I called the wife at work and left a message telling her about the dog.
When she got home she drove up town and bought a 16 pound bag of dogfood. Now were just waiting for the old
dog to come back. As you can tell my wife loves animals too.
And Vail., I saw the preview for Cowboys... two days ago. That looks like it will be cool. Seems original too. Not too many
westerns(if any) with Aliens.(LOL) I'll probably hit the drive-in for that one. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Saturday, July 09, 2011 2:00:38 AM)

Yup. It would have been nice if they shaved off at least 30 minutes. Cool to hear Bad Teacher at least has some good music. The Ripper! For Transformers 3 we got Linkin Park again.
The next movie I'm thinking about watching is Cowboys and Aliens. Looks funny.
Whoa it's 3 hours? Way too long lol. I haven't even seen the second Transformers movie. Last movie I saw was Bad Teacher, we had vouchers, so I'm glad we didn't have to pay. It was kinda funny, kinda stupid, but it had two Priest songs in it! YGATC and The Ripper! So that was cool.
Before that I saw Bridesmaids and enjoyed that, it was funny!

I sure as hell would (like my hours back from the 2010 fiasco, that is)! More like 12 hours as I kept falling asleep. HORRIBLE film. Poor acting, bad story (move it to CHINA?) had that one kid with a pseudo-mohawk just so you could tell him apart from the others. MISERABLE movie. That is putting it lightly.
