Jamz 2 MAME - A childhood dream about to come true!

Why on Earth would I want to spend a shit load of money, waste a lot of my precious time and risk serious injury to build a MAME machine that plays games I could just play on my desktop computer?

Lets see... well...

My money will either be blown on this or drinking downtown

My time ain't so precious cause I don't use it for much right now anyways

Injuries Heal. I also don't use my body for much other than drinking and wasting time, so...

Thanks to the advent of the PC and home entertainment systems my quarters are used for more important things... like the astronomical expenses for using the toll roads here in Orlando. Ahh, I remember those wistfull days of childhood amusement, blowing huge wads of my parent's money in Coin-Op heaven next door to my parent's business after school. But ever since, I've missed the genuine feel and excitement of standing 2 feet from a monitor and picking up diseases from joysticks touched by the lowest common denominator of game room denizen.

Well, the future looks bright! Thanks to MAME, Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, and a French guy with the same name as my sister, I've got a chance of having all that enjoyment, all those memories, every ounce of happiness I enjoyed as a 12 year old boy, right here within my own garage. Hell, I'll even have my roommates to take the place of the snuff chewing greasy D&D freak hogging the Galaxian and the fat guy with the gut and cigarette breath kicking my ass at Street Fighter.
