Get ready to play to Bubble-Bubble and Street Fighter again!

Well now at least you have an excuse!

Extra M. A. M. E. is a simple windows manager for ROM format arcade games. It supports 3688 games, so you will not be bored too soon, although when you install the application, there are just five titles available.

An important note to make is that once you’ve installed Extra M. A. M. E, you’ll also need to download a MAME emulator on your PC before you can play any games.

Now you are nearly ready to have fun. Select one of the titles you would like to play and press the “get game” button which you find on the right of the window.

A Google internet page will appear, connecting you to Romnation. net. You can now download the ROM file, which is compressed in one archive (IZArc, ZIP Archive).

Just double click on the name of the game and enjoy.
