There's no reason at all you couldn't build one yourself out of a plasma
TV and various bits n pieces. (eyes jigsaw)

You convince Kevin Costa that he should star in, direct and write the
screen play for a 1 billion dollar epic that is sure to become the highest
grossing blockbuster of all time: "Mameworld"

You sell all your worldly possessions and put the $5.50 proceeds on a 200
to 1 horse named Jed. Following several such lucky wins, you consider
placing your 20 million winnings on a slow, pathetic 4000 to 1 horse named
'gooroo'; Instead you move to Beverley Hills and hire a Mame Coach...

Main thing that I'm curious about is how they got the VpinMAME tables
into a portrait display, and if the tables are displayed with a proper
"perspective" for the viewing angle. Makes me want to go get a plasma or
HD monitor just to play around with it.

It shouldn't be /too/ hard. Just have your video driver rotate the
display and set the resolution to 720x1080(or whatever). As long as VP
doesn't use hardcoded resolutions, it should work just fine.

Not that easy - VP layouts are designed for landscape screens. It's not
just a case of simply flipping the display. You'd also need to adust the
3D viewing angle, remove the side art, adjust the perspective, and other
tweaks.

You scramble to see where you can drop in another quarter before you get

You move your fridge next to the mame cab so food and beer is more readily
available...

Na, stuff the coin door...You cut a big rectangular hole in the base of the
cab and install a bar fridge stuffed with beer and whatever food will fit
around the beer.

You regard olympic competitors as cheats not because they use drugs, but
because they don't run with their fingers.
