MAME

MAME is a computer software program for personal computers. The purpose of MAME is to faithfully and precisely emulate as many arcade games as possible, with the intent of preserving gaming history and preventing vintage games from being lost or forgotten. The name is an acronym for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.

Other MAME uses

While many choose to run MAME as a straightforward piece of software, others may try to enhance their experience by creating realistic interfaces in the form of arcade cabinet enclosures known as MAME machines.

Although unrelated to MAME itself, there exists a project called Visual PinMAME which combines a realistic simulation of the physical parts of real-life Pinball machines and an emulation of the electronics from more recent Pinball machines. See the article for more details.
