What we need now is to establish a pay-service for downloading games for eMAME so bored phone owners can peruse a selection of games, buy one, download it and use it immediately.
What do you think, $0.75 per download?

I think $0.25 just like it used to be: nostalgic price for a nostalgic game. Yeah, there was inflation, but there's also Moore's law (meaning today's arcade games are much more sophisticated, even if they're not better for it).

This is probably the exact reason why Orange's MS Smartphones will only run 'signed' applications - ie you must pay Orange/MS before your app will run on their smartphones.
The telecoms operator can then lock-out apps (such as this) which could eat into their profit margin. Downloadable (pay-per-play) mobile games are allegedly going to be next years big thing in the mobile world.
