Wasn't my thing since I am from an older/earlier generation, but I can see why the watches would be on younger generations wishlist since some were popular back then. Just need anyone (a fan of those items) to collect and hold on to the items until there is time for someone to work on those.

The softlist/hashlist support was the big thing back in 2010. I wasn't sure how that would work out at the time, but glad to see that set up and being put to use over past several years.

Even though MAME and MESS source code had merged a couple years before it all became MAME, the first led item that caught my attention was Parker Brothers Merlin - The Electronic Wizard being supported in late 2013 when it was still in MESS only. I wasn't sure if things would expand from there and other handheld games would be supported, but glad that Sean and hap and a couple others got things started with more of the led games being supported including Milton Bradley's Simon.

The fact that MAME now supports/preserves some of the electronic musical equipment was something I thought maybe was a longshot even about 5 years ago I didn't expect much to happen in that area. The Casio drum machine from earlier this year, was a big deal imo........even if Orclord (to newcomers...a former MW regular and also a drummer himself, but only likes real drums and doesn't care for the electronic stuff) poohs on the electronic stuff. *kidding Orc*

>even if so many people still think MAME's best days were the late 90s.

That would probably be only the PacMan, Frogger, and Atari System 1 or 2 fans that were satisfied and then left the scene shortly after.
