MAME is an emulator that allows you to play classic arcade games on your computer. It's been around for years, providing a way for gamers to experience the nostalgia of old-school arcade gaming without needing the original hardware. MAME works by emulating the original arcade machines, allowing you to run ROMs (read-only memory) of classic games.
