Just playing games.

I was reading another Blog, when I realized not everybody knows about MAME. (M)ulti (A)rcade (M)achine (E)mulator. And the wonders of being able to play just about any arcade game ever invented. And these are the authentic games, not a conversion. Some very dedicated people create emulators for the CPU’s and the video systems of the classic arcade machines. Then they ‘get’ the game ROMs.

Sometime the company that owns the game will allow the ROM’s to be copied; sometime not so much. Its best not ask too many questions. My collection of games is in the 100’s and about 9Gigs of storage. It’s a wonderful way to preserve these classics; and it’s free.
