Thinking of opening an arcade...
Ummon:
I've never liked Pengo much anyways. (DL I never really got a chance to like playing. But I'd watch the bastard and love it.) However, it is part of my stock in MAME. I have about 370 games, perhaps half that many I really want ta play.
As for going to an arcade, yeah I'd love to if it was stocked with games I like. (Pins count as well, but didn't till I was in high school, and then mostly I liked watching my friend.) The closest one is 120 miles, though. But even if that place were close to me, let alone if it were an all classics place, admittedly, I wouldn't go all the time. Perhaps once a month, because:
- money
- well.....that's probly mostly it. I do like sit-down cabs an all, but at least for the next year, if I had access to a large retro arcade (at least 50 machines, with at least half being ones I really like), and I could spend all the money I wanted, or if it were like Arcade84, I'd probly go once a week. Maybe more.
I think what monmotha said about card systems is correct. At C&C, I definitely go ahead and get $20 worth (= 100 credits), and after three hours still have half left. Even with playing fifty cents pins. They've made money on me every time I've gone.
