Rare East German Arcade Game Unearthed
Lancey writes "While hunting for work stuff I found this press release about an old Soviet games machine, apparently there are only three surviving units from a production of 1500 - most of them were destroyed after the Berlin wall came down. Thought you might find it interesting..." There are screenshots and photos in this BBC story.
Isn't that "Schiessbude" (shooting booth)? See Schiessen vs. Scheissen...

Hey! Have SOME respect. This is history being preserved here.
I'm not certain the MAME guys should be so sure of that though.
You make the mistake of assuming people really care about the legality of MAME (or any emulator, really, although at least for most of the single-console emulators, they have homebrew games to justify their existance).
Really, how many arcade machines can you fit in your living room? Even (former) arcade owners would realistically only have the right to use a few dozen games at most. Yet most MAME users have literally hundreds, if not thousands, of games.
Not to say that strictly legal users don't exist, but I would consider them in the tiny minority.
