No more MAME at Superauction
Raven..:
So the word on RGVAC is that Rob isn't allowing any more multigame machines at the next Super Auction. Obviously it applies to MAME machines, but I wonder if they mean multi-pac and 4, 9, and 39-in-1 machines also. Personally, I don;t think it's such a bad idea...as long as they disallow ALL multi-games across the board.
1UP:
That means no Hanaho, or *gasp* Ultracade! :o

Well, they are ALL unlicensed with few exceptions, so probably not.
Having not read up on the subject I'll bet it has more to do with the fact that the mame cabinets are devaluing the original games and less to do with copyright. The home buyers are buying the mame cabinets or multicabs and then not buying any more games, those same people without mame might have bought a lot more games at higher prices.
I think this actually makes me happy, as now I can bring normal games to the auction and actually get SOMETHING for them.
