Anyone try this retro game service out yet? It has all the old sega and atari games plus a bunch of arcade games! they have around 300 total games available.

why not just get an emulator like MAME?

yeah, i've used the emulators in the past. I just remember one of them really screwed with my last PC.
I was just wondering if anyone had tried GameTap.

because MAME is illegal :P

Doesn't work on my mac - I want to play Bubble Bobble dammit

WTF is MAME?
- MisterNiddles0
MAME is how I play bubble bobble on my mac.....

Does it really work? I tried putting a PS emulator on the mac once and it didn't do shit.
- MisterNiddles0
works like a charm...... it's an app that runs old game roms - the code from arcade game boards.
if you can find the roms, you can play any old arcade / nes / snes game and millions more......
runs bubble bobble, rainbow islands, bust-a-move, buster bros..... ohmygawd
stick it in a cabinet.....

where do you find these ROMS at?
Can you buy them?
- MisterNiddles0
the inet is littered with illegal rom sites...... put rom into google and begin the hunt.....
i gots mine a few years back before there was a crackdown.... mame.dk had every damn game and was no hassles.
