If you like this our 3rd volume has a lot of fun Halloween projects.

New MAME! From its initial release in February 1997, MAME has grown to support over 5700 different arcade games from the early days of the 1970s through to today’s high-action 3D games, meaning it is the largest arcade machine emulator project in the world. The 0.100 release has been humourously titled “1.00”, poking fun at the MAME team’s statement that as long as new arcade machines are being released, their emulator will never be finished. Link.
