I guess I never really understood why people are playing console games on their arcade games. It seems to me that if someone cared enough about authenticity enough to have a full sized arcade cabinet, they would prefer the authentic feel for console games as well. i.e. a bag of chips, a 2 liter of soda, controller, sitting on a couch, and tv. |

I suppose you can think of it as a kind of "Play Choice" expansion.. Though I've never been a fan of the playchoice systems. |

Console games are a great addition to an arcade for when you want a little more depth. Arcade games are designed to give you a quick blast of fun and take your money. Console games can be played out over a period of weeks with save states. Sometimes I want a blast of Outrun, other times I want to get a few stages further on ToeJam and Earl and save my game. Console arcade ports however, I find them pretty pointless when I can fire up the real arcade version of a game! |

I'll sit on the couch for a few weeks vs standing at a arcade game. The only practical way I see it making sense is to save space, but to me, it's too much of a compromise. |
