Would like to see if any old school arcade games can be played on Apple TV outside of Galaga, Asteroids and Pac Man. I have yet to find a solid game app that provides anything original for Ipad and assume the same limitations exist for Apple TV apps.

How hard is it to find a solid library of old arcade games like Zaxxon, Donkey Kong, Tron, Star Wars, Commando, Front Line, Track and Field, Paperboy, etc..... Not familiar enough with any MAME applications that support a legal ROM library for ATV.

Thanks!
 
Great idea! If they had some old school classics, I might actually game on the ATV once in a while! (maybe - still no comparison to a real console system)

Wonka-wonka! :)

Are you willing to use a different device to do this? This is cheap and easy to do with a Raspberry Pie running RetroPie. Granted, it's not as easy as downloading an app from the app store. You also have to be ok with using emulators/roms/etc. You'll also have the freedom to use practically any controller you want.
