An article I wrote with Ben Garney is now up on gamedev.net
It's about game design lessons you can learn from MAME games.
It has pictures and you should read it.

One is awesome, one is meh. Choose awesome.

The points about applying innovation on top of older games is spot on. I absolutely hate when developers make a sequel while forgetting why the first game was fun. Not enough post mortems and analysis, I suppose.
