Negative Space: arcade games
- Pac-Man Fever

I was wandering around the record stores a couple of years ago when I saw a full-length album called “Pac-Man Fever”. I vaguely recognized the title, but knew it only as a single. Could I resist buying an album of songs about eighties arcade games? Of course not.

“When used in conjunction with images of the original arcade game’s ROM and disk data, MAME attempts to reproduce that game as faithfully as possible on a more modern general-purpose computer. MAME can currently emulate several thousand different classic arcade video games from the late 1970s through the modern era.”

One of Dave Dries’ very good 3D renderings of an arcade using MAME graphics and sounds. This one reminds me most of Tin Pan Alley in Ithaca, though it’s got more open space.
