Exactly.. I have absolutely no desire to play the emulators. I really dont
have a desire to own alpha 1 either just because the game wont be nearly
as cool as Major Havoc..

I helped add one rare game.. I have never even played it on the
emulator either.

The thing is there are very few people that can fully appreciate a game
like Alpha 1 in the EMU community anyway.. and most of the people that
will DL it probably will only play it once and delete it. So what is the
point of making it public anyway? MH is emulated isn't it? The only
real selling point is that the person who's EMU it is on can say,"hey! I
have this proto game on my EMU!" My opinion is
that Jess should keep it to himself if he wants to.. I've never played it,
but If I did I'd want to play that cool proto cabinet and get the full
effect! I dont think I'd bother getting the emulator.
