Fear not, there are still a few overseas sites to get your Mame on, as well as the burning groups. I'm sure the shutdown is due to the recent re-marketing of 80's stuff, with many companies dusting off old properties to get yet MORE money out of us aging 80s kids (already having spent the bulk of our allowances in the form of quarters...) Yeah, Pac-Man is kind of cool in 3D, but I still like knowing that I can play the original, down to the smallest detail and nuance.
When the 90s kids start to go bald, the heat will probably start to subside while they sell parts of Kurt's head.
