| Would you quit your job if you could make just as much building arcades? |

For me I have a fulltime job at the library where I live. I work in the Children's area. We have programs for 6 mo. all the way up to the teens. That keeps me busy. Then I have a part-time business. Dowdy Computer. I stay busy. Granted the part time thing is small....But anyways like Leapin said for me the Arcade thing is a fun hobby. I wouldn't want to be stressed over things like OH MY GOD I have to get this done. Like another poster said if they don't know much about MAME or computers I would have to go over there and fix the problems. Although I would charge for the stuff, but still I just don't want the added stress. I am having a fun time just playing games on my own. Some of the gun games suck though since MAME changed lots of them to stick. I use the trackball for those. Like Turkey Shoot I prefer trackball since I can't ever get the gun to work good enough. Anyways back to topic I like ti as a hobby! |

Actually I'm thinking of doing just that. There is a market for my idea. Christmas is coming and I have a design that will just about work. I was looking around for a retired cabinet maker or carpenter to cut the wood, which I found to my amazement as he has his own workshop and I have an old arcade tech guy who is brill at soldering and making looms who is interested for a run of cabinets. Its such a shame that retired people, are just ignored and past over. My lot would do it for free to just have a purpose or a job to keep them busy. :applaud: What has been bothering me is a clause in my work contract that forbids such activity, so I will pass it to my mate ( he's great at organising) to kick them out. If it goes according to plan then we could be the new kids on the arcade block. My guess is to bang out a couple and see if they sell. Here's to dreaming of riches! :cheers: |
