i dunno how many of you like playing old arcade games but even if you haven’t till now, i advice you still have a look. These are the games we used to play some 10 years back in those arcade parlours(umm did i hear someone say he plays them now also )
Here is a basic PC system that will play (and hold) about half of the MAME-supported games:
* Intel Celeron / AMD Duron 700 MHz
* 64 - 128 MB RAM
* a varying amount of hard drive space (a full MAME ROM set would take over four gigabytes, but most individual ROM sets are quite small)
* DirectX (Windows version) or VESA 2.0+ (DOS version) compatible graphics card
* Any sound card that works in Windows (Windows version) or Sound Blaster compatible sound card (DOS version)
But now comes the good part of it.
i said relive the games… this allows you to do just that..
