Maybe you have a passion for those old games you played when you were young or maybe you are still young and want to play these classic games on your new computer. We are talking about the famous Arcade games like Pacman, Donkey Kong, Super Mario and Street Fighter.

MAME will not demand a lot of resources from your computer, so it will run fine on old machines as well as newer computers.
