Mac Gaming: MacMAME

By C.K. Sample, III

There's an update to MacMAME out today: "MacMAME is part of the MAME project, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the history of arcade videogames via emulation. MacMAME achieves this by running the original program code found in the arcade games. As such, it is much more than a reproduction, it is essentially that same game running via an emulated layer inside your Macintosh."

If you are into retro gaming, MAME is the end-all and be-all of gaming emulation. You'll have to find some ROMs (and preferably legal ones in the public domain), but once you do you can start playing some old school arcade games right on your Mac. Very cool.
