Whelp, I'm a staunch believer in trying new things, so I went back to mamedev.org to try and get MAME for my 64-bit Windows machine... and it sort of worked! I mean, I gotta go to a Brazilian website to get all the new MAME files for any game I might want to play. Time Pilot 84? No good! Klax? No good! But the Silkworm files still work, oddly enough... kind of a higher-tech version of Super Cobra. I'll get back to you if anything further happens. I tell you one thing, though: there's been a bit of a jump in file size! I mean, MAME used to be a 3 MB executable file. Now it's 263 MB! Big jump!
Tankfully... thankfully, it's about the same as before. You've got the main folder with the MAME .exe file, and the game folders go into the "ROMS" subfolder. The trick is to get the most current version. Kinda tricky! I hate to deprive the big software companies of revenue and all, but I'm broke as it is. It wouldn't be all that much!

https://www.romsformame.com/ - just got Klax! I'm back, baby! Note to self: the '5' key to insert coin, 'Ctrl' and 'Alt' for... triggers, I guess. Also '1' or '2' for a 1 or 2 player game, derr... they got the instructions there!
