Is it just me or does anyone else ever think about how amazed your friends would have been if you had a MAME machine back in the day (by "day" I mean like 1983)? I mean, if you could transport your cabinet back to 1983 and give it to your Izod wearing, collar turned up, Vans wearing, Scorpions listening, Trapper Keeper toting, velcro wallet wielding, arcade loving self, you would immediately be the most popular kid in school. Not only that, but you could make tons of money from your friends and enemies alike who would fill their pants with delight to see all of those games on one sweet cabinet. I specifically remember thinking to myself back in the day that I would easily give $10,000 if I had it for a Dragon's Lair machine. I guess we're just 20 years too late. |

Ya, I LOVED the Scorpions! (Still do) :laugh: |

If MAME existed in 1983 it would only have been capable of emulating a digital calculator on your TI 99/4a or Vic 20. In 1986 I bought my first real arcade machine for under $50 (Gorf caberet). |

If you had a 20GB PC hard drive in 83 you would be a billionaire |
