I'm not liable for anything in that list. Opinion is just mine,
you might think otherwise, that's ok.
The table only includes so called mega-roms (they are the only ones that need the
special "-rom #" option (# stands for 0 to 5). If someone has some (mega)
modules not contained in the list, please contact me, Chris.
(by the way 'bugs?' means that the emulation is buggy, not (probably) the roms)

Hi!
I was just reading your page on a public computer
here. Faked the address...
You said F1 Spirit is "below average (outdated)".
I thought maybe you should know that me and
some of my friends still consider it one of
the best (racing) games ever for any computer.
Perhaps this has something to do with the fact
that I used to have an MSX computer in the 80's
and we played F1 Spirit like mad.
I recently got the FMSX-emulator along with
all the same roms you seem to have (from
ftp.komkon.org), and I have to admit F1 Spirit is
very enjoyable and fun, even now when there are
10 gigabyte-games around with 100 channel sample
music and 1234x567 graphics.
There is also another game you should add to
your list as a very good game, namely Konami's
Ping Pong (pong.rom?). That's also a brilliant
game! Before I got to know about the emulator,
('96) me and my friend bought the game in a
junk market for $5 or so. (My friend still
has an SVI-728...)
Thanks for a nice page!
greets,
Mayor of Earth ;)
ps. the internet is fun, too
