Greetings to All - MAME

[alum]

How is eveyone? I just came from someone's home and seen that they had all the old classic arcade games from the 80's on a PC. I was just blown away at what games he had. He had games that I have not seen in over 18 years. Can someone help me, what download of MAME should I get, and how do get the classic arcades? Is there a compute joystick that I can buy to connect to my PC?

For MAME, you can find lots of MAME variants other than the original ones from here.

(Recommendation : MAME32 Plus!, MAME32 or MAME32FX)

As for games, we can't provide links on that as ROMs (which is games) request is not allowed to be asked here.

Please read the RULES before you're posting further.
