MAME- the multiple arcade machine emulator is the creation of Nicola Salmoria. While he still coordinates its development, hundreds of people have contributed to it. Currently it plays over 2800 unique games. It has allowed games that might otherwise have been lost to be preserved and enjoyed. And the dream of having a home arcade is a reality for many people. There are versions for a variety of platforms including Windows 32 bit, Macintosh and Unix . In addition to the MAME software, ROM sets are also required. Many are copyrighted and thus difficult to acquire. Some interesting distribution methods like the Free Mame Roms Project and others mentioned at Mame Rom Links are available. Most of the arcade games ever produced are emulated in Mame. So if you have been dreaming of playing Pac-Man, Asteroids or any of the other arcade games that you may have enjoyed, Mame may be the thing for you.
