Title: Arcade cabs as showcase for Indie Games
Post by: Well Fed Games on October 04, 2012, 02:06:45 pm

Thought this was interesting: http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/22/photo-tour-of-austins-fantastic-arcade/ (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/22/photo-tour-of-austins-fantastic-arcade/)

Not the first time I have seen indie games showcased in physical arcade cabinets. Makes sense to me, as many indie games (Super Hexagon, for instance) are all about short but engaging and tight gameplay, much like the classic arcade titles.

As someone who frequents this site and has built three MAME cabs, this photo annoys me for some reason:

You should try being at Funspot and seeing a blue screen of death on the Space Ace cab.  Talk about blasphemy.   :hissy:

Yeah, I mean, not sure if they are doing it the best they can- I think they just put them together for special events & stuff.
