| Question: What options do I have? :) |

So, My local arcades are destroyed during sandy. One wound up in the bottom of the Ocean.....20 years of classic games gone. The other, with more modern stuff ugh, got flooded out. So, that leaves me with only one option. Rebuild my own. Rather than build from scratch, I was thinking of getting one of these suckers. http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=CABMIDWAYUR I was thinking of doing a Pheonix Arcade build, but trying to find all the games I want on MAME sites that are a pain in the butt to navigate isn't a very fun prospect. So, what other options are there? The games I want in are : Popeye TMNT TMNT 2 Simpsons Pac-Man Mrs.Pac-Man Frogger Mortal Kombat NBA Jam Star Wars (Assuming I can find a way to rebuild the classic yoke step by step) Return of the Jedi QBert PaperBoy and one or two others I'm forgetting at the moment. Are there any multi game jamma boards that have these pre installed? or is my best bet the Pheonix Arcade option? I'd also love to get as many hardware boards in there as possible, but that might be even tougher... trying to figure out my options. with R2D2 done and C3P0 being worked on, this is my last project for this year :) I can't afford a pinball machine after R2 :) |

You couldn't possibly get the controls to play all the games you listed onto the control panel of the repro Pac-Man cabinet that you linked to. I would save yourself $500+ by refurbing a converted cabinet, and putting some of that towards buying a Star Wars game and leaving that off your project. |

Same with Paperboy. Unless you're using the handlebar controller, it's never going to feel right. |

As far as your game list goes, I would say you're better off with a mame PC setup. Your must have games have many different controls so you'd either need multiple control panels or one serious frankenpanel. Some of the games you listed are horizontal while others are vertical. I agree, using an old arcade cabinet will be a big savings, especially considering you may be best off having multiple machines. |
