Ok Ive got 2 standup machines now...I built my first one...Mame....now Ive got an original with gyruss running inside...YES I was warned about these bloody things multiplying i dont want to end up with 30 of them...lol...anyway I dont have enough room to keep both of them...so one has to go...but do I keep the original or the mame machine???Im thinking of selling the mame machine on ebay and getting a multi vertical board for my original...and collecting a few original boards along the way...Ive bought a Birdie Try gameboard already..lol.....the original is just a vertical one player machine...anyway what do you guys think???what would you do??CHEERS
Havok:
If you've only got room for one - I would Mame away, unless they don't emulate the games you want properly. There's just too many great games that work perfect in Mame.
rollerball:
Yeah its a toss up...I do seem to like playing the original machine more though...just because its an original...dont know if that makes sense...and I do LOVE the old classic vertical games....MMMmm I think the mame is looking like the one to be sold still though...I just dont want to sell the wrong one..lol...I guess I could just put mame on my pc for any games I dont have on the original machine....thats another option I guess

in my case -

I enjoy having friends and family come over and play games. People want to play different games and when we get together it can be anything from a street fighter tournament, a joust match or a shuffleshot game. I don't have room for all these machines so mame is a great thing for me.

Lastly, mame machines haven't been selling for as much as they used to.

If you sell the Mame cab and get a multi board you are probably getting Mame with fewer options. Keep the Mame machine if you like variety.


BTW, if you sell your couch you would have room for 3 more machines.  ;D
