Go to http://emumovies.com/ (http://emumovies.com/) and order the Mame DVD. It comes with thousands of videos of arcade games in the game play. You can use MaLa to set the videos as your screen saver. It's pretty nice because the videos often end on the title screen so you can see what the game you just saw was. Each video is about 30 seconds long.

I completely agree.  I use emumovies' games plus their video game commercial pack (about 500 videos) and have mala randomly pick them after several minutes of inactivity.

Since loadman and other fine folks on this forum figured out the mouse/spinner bug in mala, i've left the arcade on (in the corner of living room) and have stopped more than several occasions to watch for a few minutes the videos being played.
