The fun of MAME…

Yeah, okay. I mentioned it before. I love MAME.
What’s MAME? Okay. It’s an arcade emulator. Which means me dumping all those quarters into TRON and other games didn’t go to waste, and can still be relived at home.
I was originally thinking about building a cabinet for my addiction, such as a cocktail cabinet. (See Google here for examples.) But then I settled on something from a company called Arcade In a Box.
Basically, everything fits inside the box, and then you just hook it up to whatever display you want, and you’re ready to go. Call it a portable arcade, if you will.
I ordered the plans, and it seems pretty straightforward. I’m sure I’ll have pictures up once I start. Just pricing everything out, and it’s actually pretty reasonable.
