Well, when some of you were teenagers in 1980, I was 9...just old enough to reach the CP - All of my friends that have come over to the house to play their favorite game, are now curious as to what MAME is, and a few have enquired about how I did it... This URL is THE HUB on how to build a universal Cab!
Nailz:
I convert people all the time. Everytime we have a party or whatever, invariably someone points at my MAME cab and says "hey, what's this?". If they are around my age (33) or younger I get the "Holy Crap! That is the coolest thing I have ever seen!!!! HOW MANY GAMES???? YOU BUILT THIS??? Will you make one for me?"
You get the idea.... :)

And wow, hard to believe that we've been on the YaBB board for a year now. This is sooooo much nicer too. Happy birthday!

Well I'm 23 years old. I don't feel like arcade games are out of style. I think the only real way to play a game is standing up. In fact, I get mad when people say stuff like. "Oh yeah I've played Joust/Punch Out/Ninja Gaiden. I had that game for Nintendo"... *SMACK*
I have my MAME machine at our fraternity house and all the guys are always playing on it. Naturally, the thing has more games than anybody has ever played (unless they've had MAME for a while). So every week I go in there and they've discovered some awesome new game I've never played before. So the thing is very popular.
Plus it never fails - someone new always walks in and goes crazy over thing and one of the guys is like, "Yeah Alan built it from the ground up" and they're like, "You can do that?"
I talk too much but in short... this hobby isn't going away. There are too many people interested in it, and not alot of people really know oabout it yet so it has room to grow. It's not just fun - it's a rewarding challenge.
