Personally, I feel the guy is a selfish bastard. I don't see what he gets out of hording these games to himself other than monetary gain, since they are unavailable.

What monetary gain? You just said he turned the money down. Maybe his ethics are worth more than money to him. If he truly did buy these items under condition that they would not be distributed, then he shouldn't sell or give them away.
daywane:
never even heard of the game.
to be honest I never even seen a mabel madness arcade at all.
I love the game but only on a nintendo 8 bit. Thats were I found the game
My wife and I love that game but we both look at each other and stare at the track ball and laugh. we grab the game pads.
same with bump and jump. love the nes game , Hate the arcade
RayB:
Why is it selfish to want to keep something rare, rare? That was my point with the Mona Lisa. There is only one of them, but if you could create a painting machine that could make exact duplicates, less people would care to see the original.
It's a proven fact already that the values of real arcade machines has been declining. Personally, I no longer collect JAMMA boards. Why bother when I can get my fill through MAME?

Uh, you can buy "duplicates" of the mona lisa, it's called a Print. And tons of people still want to see the original.
Anyhoo, maybe I was being a bit harsh. I just really don't see his point of NOT sharing. Seems rather selfish to me. He must be an only child.
fredster:
It's his stuff. He can do with it what he wants. If he wants to burn it and see what color flame it makes someday, fine.
He bought it, he owns it, and he can determine it's destiny.
I see nothing wrong with that. Just because some people are making mame and he's not helping is not the point.
