Coolest Arcade Cabinet of all time?
zelony:
Most people use the term arcade as both the machine and the location. By your logic these forums should be renamed to game controls.

Yeah, I was expecting a topic on arcades, not games.
Ignoring that, I really like the setup in those first pics. That's pretty cool.

Well here in Canada...an arcade is a place filled with "arcade machines" or "arcade cabs"...we never called a single machine an "arcade" always...we are going to the arcade to play games or going to the corner store/7-11 to play the "arcade machines"
Not sure where the arcade for 1 cab came from but no my generation/location ;)
EDIT: I see the OPs edit...mucho bettaro ;)

This gets right to the root of your misunderstanding. "Arcade Controls" doesn't imply a place. "Arcade" by itself does. I'll admit that its a nitpick, but it matters here.
