Tigga: Ok. Hi I'm Tigga.. I'm 23ish a from a village close to Birmingham in the United Kingdom.
* Tigga wonders if that is enough
Yuu: Would you mind telling us your real name
and also where your nick tigga comes from ?
Tigga: My real name's Kelly. Tigga is a nickname I aquired some time
ago that has stuck.
Yuu: Immediatly, a very anticipated question:
what are your mensurations ?
Tigga: Lol... 320x240
Yuu: Good one !! LoL
Yuu: Despite emulation and video games, have
you some hobbys ?
Tigga: I enjoy Music..and the club scene. My faverite groups are Cappella
and 24/7 but my faverite song has to be "Lean on me
by Red Box!!" but I cant find it anywhere...mp3 anyone <Cough>
Yuu: Well, the request is send, if someone has the mp3, or even the
original CD, please e-mail her. About Cappella, how do you
felt when the two singers were fired out and replaced ?
Tigga: Lol...They were fired !! Lol... I guess U got to Know they were
fired before you could answer that one Lol!
Yuu: Yeah, they were fired because they took big head, and acted like
stars such as Elton John, if you sen what I mean. So, they
have been fired and replaced. But, the new formation hasn't had any success.
Don't remember they even released a second album for the band. Anything
else to request ?
Tigga: Yes!! HOUSE by doug lazy (the kraftwerk
version). Lol It rocks...MP3!!
Yuu: Request is done ! Please think about Tigga and send it her ! Thanks
for her.
Tigga: Special Tiggacam for the winner Lol :)
Yuu: And for me ? ^^;
Tigga: A slap for being cheeky ;)
Yuu: What introduced you into the emulation
world ?
Tigga: I've always loved Pacland... He's cute! In fact
most of the game I first played involved cute things... Bubble Bobble...Bombjack...
Commando..er..
no (but he did have a cute hard hat lol!!) Seriously tho...I did work experience
while I was at school at Elite Systems in Aldridge (they
made the conversions of Bombjack and Commando
to name a few... I loved them and played them a lot...and I guess got the
thrill then I get now!
Yuu: Interesting job you had ! But, how have
you discovered emulation ?
Tigga: Hmmm..a long time ago.. My brother had a spectrum
emulator for the C64. I thought it was great! And er...ever
since it's been a natural progression for me to try any emu that comes
out..
Yuu: So, you have near been always into video
games and emulation at its debuts. When have you joined the Internet emulation
scene ?
Tigga: I joined the internet emu scene around Mame 24
(About 18 months ago...maybe even longer!)
* Tigga asks permission to open a bottle of bud.
Yuu: Under which circumstances have you been
told about MAME ? Did someone introduced you (Your brother
?) ?
Tigga: Yeah....He showed me Bombjack up and running on
his pc. And that was it !! I just HAD to have my own PC...(and cam :)
Yuu: Yeah, about the cam, we will spoke about
it later. First, let's keep into emu thingys. Have you been playing into
the arcades, or were you much into home video games ?
Tigga: I have my own arcade machine in my bedroom... Its a standard
machine but it allows me to fire up Bombjack and Pacland
wheneven i want to. Dont get me wrong - Mame's emulation
is fantastic...but I guess the feeling of a real machine cannot me emulated
so well. As far as consoles are conserned apart from Sonic the Hedgehog
(cute butt) and Namco [Classics Museum] 4 on the PlayStation
i can't really say i've had that much to do with them... Hey ! A girls
got to have a social life !
Yuu: I totally agree with you. Real life is
better, whatever it is about arcade or social life. I think understanding
that your favorite games are about cute characters...: Despite the game
characters, have you a favorite kind of game ?
Tigga: I love Outrun... I played it on holiday 2 novembers
ago in Lanzeotte... Just before System 16 with Outrun
was released I couldnt wait to get home ! Faverite kind of game? Stereiotypical
Female answer : platform. But..yes I do enjoy platform games.. and driving
games!! Hard Drivin' where are you !!!
Yuu: How have you reacted when you heard that
a game featuring you and NAZ was in preparation ?
Tigga: There's a game featuring me a Naz? Lol.. What can
i say. Its an honour to be on the same irc channel as Naz not to
mention this forthcomming game. To be honest, i've not heard that
much about it. As long as its good fun and a laugh I think it's got to
be a good idea, as long as Naz doens't "dump" me ;)
Yuu: Well, the name of the game will be NAZ - Looking for the
lost CPS-2 bootleg board. There will be a secret stage for adults
where NAZ will have to dump you. The idea went out from a topuic where
you said "TiggaHot - Hey, NAZ, if I was your girlfriend, would you dump
me ?"...
Yuu: You have a classy taste about game. I
couldn't blame (Bleem ?) you about... BTW, what is your point
of view about the upcoming emulation of such systems like the Nintendo64
and the PlayStation ?
Tigga: Lol Nintendo 64 and PSX emulation...
Tricky. A waist of good tallent is my honest view. Whilst I'm in no position
to suggest or guide anyone into what to emulate i feel the classics should
be delt with first and maybe... some time in the future worry about psx
and n64. Emulation should not be rushed.
Yuu: What is your favourite game of all times
?
Tigga: Fav game of all time...Gals Panic. No!! Just kidding...erm
Bubble
Bobble. Or Puzzle Bobble...
Yuu: Once again, what a great taste you have
! Ahem... ^^;
Tigga: Lol You wouldnt think i had taste if you could see the guy i'm
with at the moment !!
* Yuu private quote: you have a photo ?
Yuu: What is the emulator you use the most,
and with which game ?
Tigga: I guess i use Mame. I adore Mame. Mame has cost me serveral
boyfriends but made me so many good friends on IRC. I also think CCS64
is cool. I play monty on the run all the time at work.... lol
Yuu: Have you ever thought about writing an
emulator ?
Tigga: Nope. I'm not bright enough.
Yuu: OK, now a few questions about you and
the IRC. You have became the egery of the IRC among all men. What does
it makes you feel ?
* Tigga blushes....
Yuu: He, he... ^^;
Tigga: Erm... We are all good friends... and we all have a good time
and share the same interest. Whist i'm certainly not the only female on
Efnets #retrogamers channel... I like to have a laugh..wind
people up and flirt. BUT this is only the sort of think that would happen
if we were all sitting round a table in the local pub. No difference.
Yuu: Here is something enough to broke some hearts, though...
Tigga: Really !! I hope not - its all just fun !
Yuu: You talked about your Cam, the well-known
TiggaCam...
What pushed you to set it up ?
Tigga: TiggaCam... I had a site and got about 300 hits
in 3 months. This was not enought to get a sponsor !! So i thought...what
the hell take your clothes off !!! and TiggaCam was born.
9000 hits in 3 weeks. I really should get into a marketing job. Lol.
Yuu: Take your clothes off ? You have been naked on this cam ??
Tigga: Lol...Almost.
Tigga's "Go Retro !" famous picture
* Tigga points out it was all done taistfully :)
Yuu: Well, my nose is bleeding, give a few secs for getting back normal...
^^;
* Tigga slaps IT on the head. Down boy !
Yuu: Well, about this so famous "Go retro !"
photo, many guys were angry that you kept your bra...
* Yuu is saving the picture... (Mighty I am !!)
Tigga: I guess... But i'm angry that Pole Position isnt
emulated...Lifes a bitch !
* Yuu private quote: Women and driving...
Yuu: Well, maybe the most anticipated question
for all IRC users... When will You update the TiggaCam ?
Tigga: Tiggacam will be updated whenever i feel wicked.
Seriously, I have to be in a playful mood before the cam gets switched
on.
Yuu: OK, so we will have to see the TiggaBottle for a
while yet...
The famous TiggaBottle...
Yuu: Why having cvalled your site Moneybox
? Have you special moods with money ?
Tigga: Moneybox... Really just the first thing I looked
at when I got asked for a site name !
Yuu: LoL If I was Al Bundy, I would say: "You are a REAL woman !"
Tigga: Al Bundy has bad taise in Women. If I were a lesbian I'd say
his daughter was kinda cute tho ;)
Yuu: I agree for Kelly ! (The dress she had tonight just blew me out)
Yuu: What sites do you often visit on the Internet,
among the emu scene, and among other kind of interest ?
Tigga: I visit www.retrogames.com most frequently.. Atila's
humour really makes me giggle sometimes. Other include mp3.com
and emuviews.com. I once was a firm regular to Daves
Classics but after a snotty email I accidently deleted it from
my faverited folder. Still I know he did a lot for the scene and I respect
that.
Yuu: About other kind of sites ?
Tigga: Other sites...ermm I really dont visit that many... I site on
ICQ and fiddle with realplayer a bit and check my email every 10 minutes..
Yuu: Before finishing, have you anything to
say to all the emu fans all over the world ?
Tigga: Yes. We all love Emulation. Some like classic others like commercial.
But what we should remember is not to become greedy. Greed will only kill
the scene we all have grown to love. Lets enjoy what we have and be thankful
we can enjoy it in the future...
Yuu: Well, Tigga, thank you very much for according me this pop-up
interview.
