Sorry to thread-mine here, but somebody mentioned Angry Birds being run on a MAME cabinet in another thread and it sounded like it might be a cool addition to have, but I have some questions:
- what does it cost?
- can somebody clarify the "keyboard mouse control" thing? I'm not sure I follow why that would be necessary if I have a trackball? If I do need to run some background software, can it be set up to launch automatically from MaLa or do I need to go through a bunch of manual steps every time I want to play?
- how do you actually launch a bird? I assume you just roll backwards to set power level, up and down to aim, then hit a button?
- is there any way of playing a competitive game with 2 or more players or is it 1 player only?
I should know the answer to the last question because I have this game on my iPod touch, which shows how much I play it. Personally, I don't really care for this game, but if it can be played with more than one player it might make a good crowd pleaser when guests are over. Plus, I think it'd be much cooler playing on a cabinet than a handheld device.
