For the most part, do people think these are real arcade machines?

Just a question ive always had. (By real arcade machines I mean just an original of whatever game, like a mortal kombat or NBA Jam machine.)

A normal person doesn't know the difference until you tell them.

Freak, huh?  I've been called worse.  And no-one except an arcade buff would know that mine isn't a "real" arcade game.  People are generally amazed when I tell them I built it.  It is hard for them to even comprehend.

Hehe, the other day when showing my house (it's for sale) the guy said wow, cool, you have an arcade game.  I've never heard of 'Sturcade' though.  So I guess that means he had no idea I built it.

arcaic:

I have several original Arcade machines (Defender, Robotron, Joust, Starwars, Asteriods among them) and without exception anytime I leave them on by themselves I cant help being concerned that they are about to catch fire or blow up or simply pack up in some way.

The strange thing is with my Mame cabinet I just built I find myself having the same twinges of concern and have to remind my self 'it's a PC, it wont bust and if it does it'll only be 100 bucks to fix'!

I guess I'll get used to it and treat it like any other PC I have sooner or later.

Weird.  ;)

Cheers

Andy
