I have some questions about this:
Are these real ROM-packs, or 5 Windows programs with emulators/titles built in? Are the titles working in a front-end or Mame itself?
If they are Windows programs, how true are they to the original arcade versions? Is the Windows program a Mame-like wrap for original ROMs?
Where can you buy these packs? I cannot find a dealer in Europe / good USA CC-accepting online-store by googling the titles of the packs?
I think information on packs like this should be in the Wiki. I searched it and did not find anything about these packs.

If you search the names on Amazon, you can see that Atari/Namco have a variety of game packs that you can purchase.
Atari (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_vg?url=node%3D468642%2C229575%2C229575%2C229585&field-keywords=atari+classic&x=0&y=0)
Midway (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_n_3?ie=UTF8&rs=229575&keywords=midway&bbn=229585&rnid=229575&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amidway%2Ci%3Asoftware%2Cn%3A468642%2Cn%3A229575%2Cn%3A229575%2Cn%3A229585)
Namco (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_vg?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=namco&x=11&y=25)
Capcom (http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&tag=mozilla-20&index=blended&link%5Fcode=qs&field-keywords=capcom&sourceid=Mozilla-search)
You can pull up the Digital Leisure games at www.digitalleisure.com.
With the stuff on Amazon, you'll find a few different titles depending on the hardware (PSP, PC, Playstation etc) and a variety of games on different discs. Not sure which ones they are using. They are probably normal Windows programs with menus to select the game you want etc.
And I am not saying that Amazon is where to get these. I just find it easier searching on Amazon for certain things rather than Google as Google shows a bazillion links...
