I took my kids to Chuck E Cheeses earlier in the week - right when they opened - and was pretty surprised when all of their machines booted into Windows XP. They had a lightgun shooter, a couple of race cabs, and even the Guitar Hero machine, all running XP. I guess companies really aren't building 'board specific' games any more...

Tons of machines nowadays are running Embedded Windows XP and 7. Taito TypeX/X²/X+ comes to mind off the top of my head, along with things like Sega Lindhberg, Sega Ringedge/Ringwide, and Namco ES1 & N2. Dedicated boards are coming to be a thing of the past, sadly.

    I wasn't aware of this, When I find games in the wild is business as usual... But it doesnt surprise me however, PCBs are dirty and carcinogenic, as where computers are socially accepted.

Sega Lindbergh and Namco ES1/N2 run custom Linux builds.

The next thing is systems that require an internet connection to function....and then look for the operators to be charged for the ongoing service in addition to paying for the machine.  I think Merit is already doing this.

....but we're off topic again.  :angel:
