As Gamers, your thoughts on new arcade games.
Gatt:
I'd support it.
I'm in the process of starting a video game studio, and one of the things I've considered is similiar to this one.
Heck, anything that creates more games is a good thing IMO.
ArcadEd:
I mentioned this thread in my ongoing thread at indiegamer.com.
Hopefully we can get some input from the actual developers as well. Would be nice to have a big round table discussion about this :).

Hi everyone!
Well. Look guys. The problem of working with such peoples as you are that you all are too creative. What ever we - developers - would propose you - you always would be too picky to it. Not because the products are so bad but because you are pretty OKi with your current passion - creating of that boxes, playing huge amount of old and good games on them ( for FREE! ).
To not start long discussion there is the idea. You are welcome to order all games from our website: www.wildsnake.com in the nearest month with 50% discount. This discount code was made specifically for your forum - no one else gets such low price from us. That would help me to track your orders and exclude all that talks about high price. So when you place the order please use this discount code:
WILD-4VYM-ARCC
My bet that we wouldn't get any single sale from you - backward you will start shaming me here. ;)
But you are welcome to show me how I'm wrong. :P
Would you find something wrong in software from your hardware requirement please drop me a line though any email at our website. Would it be enough requests sure thing we will fix the problem for you.
PS That's Ed. I believe such results would be interesting for you as well. So I promise to share them with you.
Thanks,
Andy

Give me about a year ;D
Seriously though, I will be doing my dissertation on a topic related to lightguns (I guess that I will be the first person to actually buy one of those r0r3 boards) which will require me to build a few custom lightgun based games. I could be persuaded to sell them to the public when they are done. 8)

You are probably right. Shareware tends to cater to the casual, impulse, gamer. We are on the exact opposite side of the spectrum here. I know that I would never personally buy a shareware game.
I did find the one game I tried interesting though. It looked like it would work well with either a paddle or spinner. Also, it's a pro that it's made in Java, since that solves the compatibility problems mentioned earlier.
It seems that just about the only way you may be able to move games around here is to cater to the even smaller niche market of lightgun games. But that's a risky proposition at best.
