A friend of mine BOUGHT one for her husband. She paid over $3000 for it. I was there when the shop delivered it and I saw what they had done and figured I could do that for MUCH cheaper! She had a few parties and everyone LOVED the thing withis little 17" screen and played all these games. My husband liked it ALOT since he was an arcade junky in his youth and EVERYTIME we get near an arcade he ALWAYS wants to go in and play so I mostly built it for him. I like to play frogger and Donkey Kong and stuff. Now that I have built it I LOVE to show it off! It was really nice when my stupidly rich brother in law came over to the house 1/4 of the size of his with no Ferrari parked in the garage like his, and he was so impressed and loved the cab, it wasn't even finished yet (he was playing on the keyboard before I got my I Pac) Just to have something cool and be able to impress him was worth the time and effort! My friends kids think it is the greatest thing too! It is fun! My husband insisted it be wood grain and so it does look good in the living room! |

Definitely (1 mostly.) I love the classics! Let me tell you why. First, most console games are just to easy. Arcade games, on the other hand, are a true challenge because they want to kill you fast so you will dump another quarter in. Second, I want to relive my wasted youth. I still play them at the local pizza joint. My son and I waste ten bucks a week on ms. PAC MAN, Defender, and Galaga. Third, the simplicity of games like PAC man, tempest and such are great for playing while drinking. Also, the controls of an arcade game are easier to use when you are buzzed. Finally, yea I guess it is a little about showing off. Having an arcade cab with all the classics will be somewhat of a status symbol in the circles I run in. |
