Post by: BobA on February 07, 2004, 01:23:30 pm

I caught a short clip on MAME on Discovery Channel.  The Ipac and Optipac were shown very clearly.

Hehe, great stuff man!

I-pac looks smaller on the static pictures that i saw around! I think that the documentary should be hosted here for newbies to understand how this works better! Congrats dude!  :)

Notice the commentator keeps saying "CD-Rom" in place of rom.  Hadn't actually seen this video before, thanks for sharing.   :)

I don't care what anyone says, i LOVED watching that clip. lol.   Its symbolic  of all that we all here strive to recreate for ourselves :)

I know there are alot of younger people who really never got to play games like pac-man, kangaroo, defender and donkey kong when they first came out.  For people like me who just kids when those games hit the arcade, mame is a GODSEND of nostalgia!  8)   I love my street fighter games , but there is just something about  those OLD original games that kick alot of the new games nowadays ass's.  Nuff said! :D hehe
Ok, now go ahead and flame me you young whipersnappers  lol.

grooooovy~ :D

I like the way the announcer says "Miiiiilipeeeeeeede." He also says that the guy is playing Marble Madness when he is clearly playing something else. But I am glad they found a guy who built a clean machine and knew what the heck he was talking about. Heh.
