^ That's a cool story
I first found the site back in 2002-2003 (?) when we were building our own Madden online league website. I remember looking at all the custom rosters and of course the entire front page is very nostalgic from playing the game a ton back in the '90s. We eventually started killing time at work playing NHL '94 on emulators and used NHL94.com for the roms and other info. We could never get the netplay to work though through our fire walls.
After I bought a house and started setting up my own retro game room and website Retro Sports Gamer World, I decided to finally use the forum.
