    The first thing that came to my mine when I saw Jump Coaster was the Monday Morning Mame Club, reading the article it looks like I'm not the only one that immediately associates the two...miss those days. Fun times.

    I don't think I would have ever found the game if it wasn't for Monday Morning MAME Club. It's easily one of the most played games on my MAME upright.

    Zzyzzyxx is another lesser-known one that I was introduced to through the 2005 DP MAME League. Finally was able to play it on a dedicated cabinet at California Extreme and explained to a lot of people there how to play it. That game is a ton of fun but it doesn't exactly have the easiest to grasp strategy.

    Anyway, that's a column for The Retrogaming Times that I'm really looking forward to continuing. It'll be a nice palette cleanser to come back to. I'm thinking Blood Bros. will be next (another MMMC game) because I freaking love it and no one else cares about it. hehe

    Ooh, that issue sounds very good. It is definitely worth more than the cover price! Disclaimer: I wrote the Sakura Wars article.
