'Homebrew' games for the arcade?
« on: November 15, 2007, 11:29:06 am »

Hey all!

I can see that it's very popular to put a DC in the arcade cabinet, and I do have two DC's(and
love them)

But I really need all games to have the "Insert Coin" etc, and NOT the "press start" :)

So I was thinking..maybe somebody has made PC games that are fit for the arcade? where
it really does say "insert coin" and so on.

Has this been done?

Thanks,

Nicholas

Lol the best ive been able to find is credits per player.  I dont think pc game makers will include a credit feature so that leaves out all the major companies.  Ive thought of making a homebrew dc lightgun game but thats just one more to do on my list.

Was Lucy in pain?  Yes great pain until we cut off her head, removed her heart, and burned her body.

You forgot "then she found peace" ;D

Love that!

  I had plans to make several "Flash" games for my arcade in the past; however, I never finished any of them due to my own laziness.   ;)

  Maybe sometime in the future I will get enough initiative to finish one.

Just as it is,
