+sdlmame is a port of MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator)
+
+MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in
+conjunction with images of the original arcade game's ROM and disk
+data, MAME attempts to reproduce that game as faithfully as possible
+on a more modern general-purpose computer. MAME can currently emulate
+several thousand different classic arcade video games from the late
+1970s through the modern era.
+
+Note: the package is called sdlmame, but the actual emulator binary
+is installed as /usr/games/mame.
