Give it 15 or 20 years and we will see one of two things. 1. 2k for an old cabinet will be standard or 2. no-one will care anymore and all the classics will be dead.

EDIT: I KNOW I am going to get a huge amount of flak from saying this; but I hope it is the later, as I would almost relish seeing closure to the arcade "thing". This is of course as opposed to seeing it reeling on its death bed for another 15 years. Sometimes closure and finality is better. (Then again, if I had my way, arcades and their games would still be major crowd pleasers, but I am not that demented to even consider the idea possible)

What do you mean in 15 years?

Its just about dead now.  The classic games now are the Playstaion ones.  :laugh2:

..............Well according to the kids.

Mauzy:
Yeah 15 years is too optimistic. My generation doesn't seem to care about arcades in general, let alone restoring the classics.

Circo:
I had a guy at work tell me today, "Man sometimes I like oldschool games" then he proceded to ramble off games like goldeneye..... Not old school dude!

He had never even heard of a 2600.  Another guy and I started talking about the stick with one buton and playing decathalon and he only respone was, "one button???"

Sheesh

It's the Holy Centipete of Antioch... and the number of the scoring shall be thus:  1... 2... 5.
