What arcade game "Did it" (AKA: Started/Motivated you down the MAME/Refurb path)

It was a search for Burgertime that led to my discovery of Mame. It was the need for two joysticks for Robotron and Crazy Climber that led to my building my own controls. :)

Hey guys,

Most of my quarters got spent on Space Invaders and Battle Zone & Asteroids, until the color stuff started coming out. Us kids all talked about how "once we got some money we were going to buy one of these machines for our rooms so we could play them all the time!" Rember: this was BEFORE the Atari 2600 even!

Was also hooked on Vanguard, Donkey Kong and Pac-Man for a while, till they started jackin the patterns and speeding up the ghosts to get more $$$ out of us kids. Also liked Gorf, Defender, Tempest, and Robatron was real cool.  Mostly for that 'on the edge of a siezure' feeling I'd get when the games really got 'interesting'.

I found mame by accident a couple years ago and am still figuring things out in it but know one thing for sure, it just ain't happinin on computer keyboard!

I would say it's them later ones that inspired me to do a cabnet. Just wanted to show em to my kids y'kno?

Street Fighter II Championship Edidition.

I bought a working JAMMA cabinet with combatribes in it (sucks) bought a SFII CE edition board on Ebay which didn't end up working.  Now I still want to play the game.
