Play Classic Video Games In NY, At Home

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the emulating-the-classics dept.

Iphtashu Fitz writes "If you'd like to play classic arcade games from the 1980s, then it might be time for you to take a trip to New York, according to Wired News, since the American Museum of the Moving Image is holding an exhibition called Blip! where you can play a selection of the classics, including some of those referenced in an earlier exhibition. Also mentioned on their site is the X-Arcade cabinet for playing arcade-style classics at home through emulation." Much easier than building your own cabinet.

    From the X-Arcade site:
    Want to download Mame Rom games directly?
    Easiest = Using Kazaa, or P2P engine
    Type MAME in a software search.
    Download Any MAME Related Searches

    Encouraging people to pirate roms. That can't be good for business (well, good for business until the government comes knocking).

    Or am I out of the loop and its all alright now?

    Ms. Pac Man actually had more machines produced, was a bigger seller, and was a bigger profit-maker. The thing was that girls played Ms. Pac Man too.
