Title: Daily Planet shows a Mame Cabinet?
Post by: micro571 on November 26, 2003, 03:39:47 pm
Last night I was watching this science-type related program called Daily Planet that comes on the discovery channel.  http://www.exn.ca/dailyplanet/

They had a preview for tonight's episode where they showed a guy who built an arcade cabinet to play all of his favorite 80's games.  They didn't specifically say mame - but it's gotta be.

Tonight's episode comes on at 7:00pm and 11:00pm EST on discovery channel.  It may only be shown in Canada, I'm not sure.  It's channel 42 for me.

This is just a heads up if anyone's interested.  The preview looked good, so I'll probably tape it.  So you know, the mame segment will only be 5-10mins of the whole show.

Enjoy.

The segment is over and it was quite long, about 10 mins.

The IPac got a nice TV closeup and mame got a good intro.

I think his cab sucks because it only has 30 "legally" owned roms.  Meh - I bet he has em all when the cameras go away.

At the end they said for mame cabinet building info goto exn.ca, so I'm guessing there'll be something there soon.

I like the way the narrator refers the the original 'cd-roms' for PacMan etc. - hehe  :D
