MAME on the Discovery channel

[xertcev]

I just saw this on arcadecontrols, and I don't think it has been posted here.
Just note, CD Roms = Roms
Is that really Marble Madness?
Was Pac Man moving backwards for a second?
Otherwise, a pretty good story.

Was Pac Man moving backwards for a second?

Yeah, I noticed that too... I figured it was a hacked rom or something. MAME has a whole bunch of Pac-Man variations, most of which I've never played.

It was good to see that the guy they were talking to actually knew what he was doing. A lot of the times when I see shows talking about stuff that I know really well, I notice them making tons of mistakes for whatever reason... usually stupid stuff too, like saying "gigabytes" instead of "gigahertz" and whatnot.

Arghhhhh I missed it!
Well I caught the last 2 minutes, YAY.


Still cool to see on the teevee.

Daily Planet re-runs their segments quite often... in fact, I saw that MAME segment a few weeks back. If you keep watching the show, you'll eventually see it again.
