Προφανως ειναι παρανομο εκτος αν εχεις στην κατοχη σου τα original arcades.

 

Επισης, σιγουρα υπαρχουν και καποιοι που απλως δεν θα το ξερουν το ΜΑΜΕ, αν και πλεον ο αριθμος αυτων που θα ενδιαφερονταν για τετοια παιχνιδια στο PC και δεν το ξερουν πρεπει να ειναι πολυ μικρος. Ισως οχι τοσο για αυτους που εχουν μονο κονσολα ομως.
