Wow. I don't have MAME handy but this is legit.
I should note that this leverages off of my Z80 Kernel: http://code.google.com/p/bleu-romtools/ It's roughly equivalent to someone using LibSDL or some other similar game library.
To play in google chrome:
1. download the link labelled 'mspacmab' above
2. rename the "TinyWorld82_002_mspacmab.zip" file as "mspacmab.zip"
3. install the Robby Roto MAME port in chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kcfbijoldkenmemnbbkjnpdhnijgahck?hl=en-US
4. run it
5. select the link at the bottom: "Click here to run MAME with your own ROMs"
6. find the "mspacmab.zip" file
7. press 'start game'
Haha, it's super awesome that you made a game so incredibly retro. I definitely tried it out- would love to see you add some gameplay to it!
Requiring an external emulator is kind of a big barrier to entry for most players, fyi.
Understood, Zillix. One of the things i wanted to do was to package it with an emulator, or make it playable directly in a web browser (without the above janking around with chrome stuff)
Wow, probably the first game I've ever seen made in MAME!
I would try it if you had a Web or OSX version.
Just for do it on MAME you have my rating hehe.
Cool that it's on arcade hardware, but there's not much content otherwise.
cool game
Impressive work. It took a few tries but after naming the ROM correctly I finally got it to run.
Yep, runs on mame.

Oh, man. This is so incredibly cool. I'm going to take a look at the source just to see what needed to be done, because this is amazing. Also, thanks for the Chrome directions!
Thanks! If any of you need help in getting it compiling on your own, please feel free to contact me. You need to build and install the bleu-romtools (I've only tested it on OS X, but it should build for mingw and linux without issues.)
Cool that you used MAME, but I don't have it set up to test it out.
@davidwparker: ditto
@davidwparker, @machinas -- I did list a way to do it in your browser, or you could just download MAME, and drop this into your ROMS folder. No further configuration or setup is necessary.
Well... I put in all that effort to get it to run and then noticed the lack of game in it. That's too bad. Cool use of MAME.
