        Now, now... MAME cabinets _do_ serve a need; there's lots of people
who simply don't have the room for a large videogame collection, and lots
of games which are difficult or impossible to find in their original form
even if they _did_ have the space... and the game experience just _isn't_
the same when you're sitting in a chair with one of those dinky little
Nintendo-esque controllers. A MAME cabinet lets you play them they way God
intended them to be played: standing up, with heavy-duty controllers that
you can slam around and a heavy particleboard cabinet that you can kick
when you inevitably lose. :)

        Granted, vector games on a MAME machine _still_ aren't entirely the
same, but...
