If you want something done, sometimes it is better to do it yourself – the DIY MAME arcade cabinet is one for example, allowing you to relive and engage timeless classics of yore which have much more substance compared to today’s high octane games that are heavy on eye candy but short on storytelling and gameplay. DIY projects like these are always perfect for recylcing older PC components and part that are normally scrapped to make way for a newer machine.

MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, which is an emulator program that can emulate the hardware of arcade systems on modern computers. MAME was first released by Nicolas Salmoria in 1997 and has grown to become a legend as thousands of games are supported. Interestingly, MAME wasn't created to play games: it was created to to accurately emulate the behavior of a (defunct) hardware. Gaming is considered to be a "bonus".
