What would really happen???
Lets say hipster opens up a pizza by the slice ,two dollar PBR joint. He buys some MAME cabs and a cocktail cabinet. He loads them up with classics (pac-man, frogger, centipede) He set up the coin mech for nickle plays.
Is anyone really going to bust him?
Who is going to bust him.
Is Midway, Namco, Atari going to stop by and flex some muscle?
Just curious. I've never seen another MAME cab in public, but am curious what would really happen.
My local 7-11 converted their storage room into a dim arcade during the 'golden era' It probably had 10-15 cabinets in it. If I had a time machine, that would be one of the places I'd go.
