can someone help me install mess or mame?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

No, no, and more no.  I know how to install packages using sudo.  Lemme show you the output.
markp at southernprince:~$ sudo apt-get install mame
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package mame
markp at southernprince:~$
Now using aptitude.
markp at southernprince:~$ sudo aptitude install mame
Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "mame"

No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.

What an annoyance.  You'd figure it'd be in the repos.
