So ... How do you explain your cabinet when guests arrive?
Lilwolf:
I get "What game is it?"
and I reply "All of them!"
Then I get "Have you ever heard of... what was that game... Tempest"
and I have to hurt myself not to say "duh" but to say "yes, and here is a repo controller just for that game". Or something a little more polite. :)
Bones:
Mine isn't finished yet but when it is and they ask "what is that?", I am going to tell them it's a time machine.
This is the only reason I am building a cab.
Hoopz:
I made sure that EVERYONE knew I was building it so now when anyone comes over they simply want to play it. Explaining the concept before it was built was not that difficult. "It will look like a regular arcade machine and simply has a computer inside it with some old games on it..."
tristan:
Generally it goes, "Sure you can play, there's a cup of quarters..."
kickngas:
My guests so far have just stood there with drool and a glazed look in their eye! ;)
After the initial shock, they play until I have to run them off! Then I get the "I gotta have one" followed by the "how much?", then they get the glazed look again!
