MAME Classic
The MAME Classic is the most popular arcade game developed for the IBM-PC. It emulates the arcade games of past decades and incorporates them with advancements in technology and simulation methods, making it one of the more faithful recreations of those classic arcade games. Although it was one of the earliest arcade game emulators, the Classic can be downloaded for free from the arcade's main site. However, there are a variety of other sites that allow the user to download a "freeware" version of the program, which does not require paying a fee for it. The software will allow you to play many classic arcade games on your computer, including the famous Space Invaders. The MAME software is very user friendly, and it allows you to easily configure your arcade hardware to work with your computer. There is even a handy video tutorial that will walk you through the basics of setting up your arcade machine, including how to power it up, configure its connections, select which games you would like to play, select a background image, etc. If you have any questions about the software or the process of playing arcade games on your computer, you can find answers to these questions and more at the Mame Classic website. If you have an interest in old arcade games, but you don't have the money to purchase the original product, the Mame Classic software may be the right solution for you. It is free to download, and is much less expensive than purchasing the original arcade game. Furthermore, the software is constantly updated, so you never have to worry about having outdated software on your computer. Therefore, if you are interested in playing classic arcade games on your computer, the Mame Classic is definitely the best choice for you.
