I know its a cheese name.  I have been wondering this for some time now.  How many of use are in the younger age group.  Post your age and some info about you.

  Myself am 16 and im almost done with my first MAME cabinet.  Im not just a arcade gamer im also a classic and retro gamer.  I strongly beleave game play is more important than graphics.      Im studying game graphics and programing for my life time job.  Right now I can do basic modeling and some programing.  I am a sonic rom hacker.  I am on a small rom hacking team and if anyone know were we can get are game port onto cartages it would be nice.  When im finshed with my current game im going to be working on a arcade style game based on sonic style games with all custom chartors.

17, I built a portable arcade so I could take it to my friends/college.

It plugs directly into any TV via S-vid or RCA ports, loads directly into GameEx, and is still far from finished.

Here's a picture.

I am also a fan of good ole' fashioned gameplay. One of my new favorites being Dragon's Lair, and my all time favorite being the NES version of Punchout.

Well boys, I am not quite in the same boat as you. I WAS 19 when discovered mame and this site. I mad a bet with my little brother that I would have my cab finished by December of that year. Well, that December past, and then 6 more did as well.

I was in college for 5 and a half years, and I was one crazy SOB. Every December I tell my brother that I meant the next December.  :applaud: But even during those long years of partying hard, I never really stopped thinking about my cab. I didn't keep up everyday or anything back then, but it was rare when a month or two went by without me checking in here for the latest scoop. It was pretty crazy to see it all go from extremely limited options back then to the insanity that is BYOAC now. I remember how pumped everyone was when the IPAC and Optipacs came out.

Now, though, I am 26, and settled down a nice young lady and we made a nice young baby. I am finally about to make my monster. Back in 99 I was a youngster around here, but now I guess I am middle aged. :hissy:

Well I must be an old timer, but it is nice to see you guys here! I was about 20 the first time I discovered Mame. I was jonesing one night to play Yi Ar Kung-fu and stumbled across an independant emulator just for this game.... A few days later I discovered Mame as well a Genecyst... And the rest is history... I am now 31 and finishing my first cab.... It took me awile, but when I was 20 I already had a son and was still in college which means I was broke!  :)
