MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in conjunction with an arcade game's data files (ROMs), MAME will more or less faithfully reproduce that game on a PC. MAME can currently emulate over 3000 unique (and over 5400 in total) classic arcade video games from the three decades of video games - '70s, '80s and '90s, and even some from the current millennium.
MAME's purpose is to preserve these decades of video-game history.

So lame, it makes you want to maim yourself just to escape having to deal with it. Like watching fox news, dealing with your friend's conservative father (trying to convince him that global warming is REAL). Also like school, homework, politicians, rick santorum, family values, prisons, tea partiers, fundies, soccer moms, newt gingrich, anything having to do with right wing politics, and basically anything you hate.
That joke was mame. Man, now I wanna maim myself just to get it across that I don't like this stupid shitbag talking about celebrities, gossip Prolefeed (see 1984), and that board of semen-encrusted lies the drudge report.
