Anarchy Arcade
Remember Game Room on the 360? Remember how you wished it was 100 times better....
This looks really good! And it's not just games! Any file or link on your computer can be placed in the room as an object, so you could build our own Speccy Museum with info and videos about the games surrounding arcade units playing Manic Miner & Wheelie! :)
Or you could just have your website exist as a room, with all items taking you to the different pages! It all looks and sounds crazy!
It's on Early Access on Steam, it's free and I'm about to go try it out for a bit! :)

I think it'll pretty much work with any emulator you have on your PC, Bob, and the guy in the first video has his linked up to MAME so that shouldn't be a problem! :)
When you first launch it, you're shown a load of tutorial videos, but as it shows you about 6 or 7, I kind of went a little cross-eyed :lol:
I'm going to give it another try I think as it does look really good!
There was another program that was similar, but no where near as good. I can't remember what it was called, but I posted about it on here when I found it. This one seems lightyears ahead of the one I found though :D
*EDIT* Just had another look at it and I've managed to place a few games in the apartment bit (not the demo level, the one in the first video above). Once I realised that my Steam profile needs to be public for any of my games to show up, I was off and running! I'm still not sure how to add pictures etc, but I'm going to place my games first, then set about with the decorations.
One thing I'm not sure I like, but I can see why it's there I suppose, is that not everything is open for you at the start! After I'd added a few machines, I unlocked some more cabinet styles etc, so I guess the more you add and the more varied the stuff, the more you unlock? I'll play some more and see what happens.
Here's a quick shout of my work so far (about 10 minutes)
I had to have my hard drive replaced a few weeks ago as my old one (not even a year old) just stopped working) and I've not put any emulator stuff on here yet so I'm holding off really getting on with things and just messing about.
I am having trouble getting pictures to spawn though. I think I've done it correctly, but it just crashes, so I guess I'm not? I did get one once, but I wasn't happy with it so deleted it, but now I can't get any at all!
As I say, once I've got my emulators back on, I'll get down to building it properly. Games first, art work later ;-)
My brother has set up his Arcade on his PC though, and even has a gallery of his pictures that plays the Deerhunter theme when you go in! :lol: He's got some Speccy games set up in arcade style units and all his Steam games and everything! Pretty damn cool....can't wait until I can get it working!
