RIP Pleasuredome. They were the best source for building a MAME cabinet or getting an entire collection of old computer games that are really hard to find nowadays.

Fuck. Pleasuredome is dead? Haven't been on there in a long while.

EDIT: https://pleasuredome.github.io/pleasuredome/

Only tracker I've ever been banned from. Got the mame roms, left 24/7 seeding but banned before I had chance to even seed back.

Looks like they are still maintaining the MAME ROM sets, but nothing else. None of the torrents for C64/Amiga games, or ATARI XL/ST games, or all of the older weird computer systems (Amstrad), or old retro consoles (TurboGrafx, Neo Geo, ATARI Jaguar/Lynx), or Daphne games like Dragon's Lair.

I feel like a large part of gaming history was lost when that site closed down.
