I'd take the table version of Ms. Pac Man and Galaga in a heartbeat if they put that out..... actually I might have an extra pc soon that would be a perfect donor for a MAME cabinet. I've already got my kids hooked on Dig-Dug, Frogger, Ms Pac Man and Galaga, so it's almost a no-brainer.
An arcade cabinet in your house for less than $500

that game, but it's just not the same on NES or an NES emulatorAnd I would endlessly play a game called Cabal. I easily dropped a couple hundred over the years on that game. Something about the roller ball controller that made it fast and furious that kept me addicted.

why don't you and spange make one? y'all work well together, are both brilliant, and that would be fun!!!
May only reservation is that I would have no place to put it when we're done. I can't really think where you'd put it in your house either.Thorn Bird said:

YES! Pinball is da bomb! I
pinball. They had a Star Wars pinball machine set up at our Publix for awhile. Didn't get to play it much tho cuz some bratty kid was always hogging it. We've got a pizza place near out house that has a Simpsons pinball machine too.

I can only find pinball at the bowling alley and there are always douche bag little kids on it.....like they can fully enjoy the beauty of pinball after growing up with XBOX.
If a bunch of you kids want to start researching how to build one, I'd be in on it.BigDov said:That Star Wars one is awesome..... I miss pinball machines
No, the cabinet kits are more expensive when you factor in shipping and the monitor. They do have the bonus of being decorated in whatever way you want though.Sarcasmo said:
well main reason why I don't own a pc becasue I know I would slip back in to my obbessed gamer mode and spend all waking hours on it.theacoustician said:

Yeah, and you can have those 7 button setups for about 4 people. That's pretty killer. If Target does a Samurai Showdown one, I guarantee they will sell at least one. Of course, there's a licensing issue there but they need to do eet.

Sounds about right.... I've actually got something like 27gb of mame. There's .chd files for some of the newer games that had hard drives in 'em. Otherwise, I think you're spot on with your specs.
i spent 3 years of my life sitting in the house never leaving except to pay bills and eat. the rest fo the time was spent on the pc playing FPS.theacoustician said:
