Arcade Timelines

[arcadetimelines]

Hello

Arcade Timelines, based on the work of MAME and Gaming History's history.xml has been released!

What is Arcade Timelines?

Arcade Timelines' goal is to put each arcade cabinet in MAME (parent machines only) on a timeline, one for each decade.
Arcade cabinets are drawn as childs of their manufacturer span, using a dedicated color.
There is also an Arcade Systems timeline, showing all arcade systems present in MAME, across all decades.

It's possible to apply filters to the timeline and only show the arcade cabinets you want. There is also the option to show only the arcade cabinets of a certain manufacturer span. You can do this by SHIFT-clicking a span or press and hold a span for about half a second on touchscreen devices (do the same thing again to clear the focus).

For first time users, it's recommended to read the explanation after clicking the "?" button on the website.
