What arcade game "Did it" (AKA: Started/Motivated you down the MAME/Refurb path)
Dervacumen:
Gunfight. My best friend's dad had a Gunfight machine in their family room. The day I saw it I vowed I was going to have my own arcade machine. It's taken a little longer than expected.
spacies:
Bombjack for me.
I have that game so wired I could play it with my eyes closed.
In the 80s in our own parlour I could play it all day on 1 credit.
Havoc:
Simpsons & Aliens vs. Predator
teef two:
Once I found out about Mame my first thought was "Excellent, I can play Twin Cobra"
MaMeNnO:
Not a particular game made me decide to build a arcade cabinet. When I found out about MAME it took some years before actually started on one. I just wanted the feeling and experience of the old days when playing.
I tried, really tried to explain it to my girlfriend... forget it! ::)
Maybe someone could write a book: Why men build Arcade cabinets and women bye so much shoes :cheers:
