LaserMAME -- 5:23 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

J.t.Qbe will love this one. Some crezzy folks have managed to get MAME (an arcade emulator) to work with a Laser Show Controller Card. It enables them to play old vector-based video games (like Asteroids, BattleZone, etc.) against buildings or even the clouds. The world's largest game of Tempest, anyone? Thanks Slashdot.

N.B. I saw this article early this morning, but the site was being thoroughly Slashdotted. I thought I'd wait to post until I could actually see the page :)

J.t.Qbe comments: You're lucky--I still haven't been able to get that page after trying all day! It sounds very cool, though--how about a life-sized game of Defender! Or Galaga! Hmmm, when I strike it rich, I may have to get one of those cards. . .
