It really depends.  I like uprights and cocktails but each one is good in certain rooms/situations.

Bartop and redemption come to mind...

There's Foosbal, pool and air hockey which could count...

What about Pachinko...?

I've always had a special place in my heart for cocktail machines - ever since I found the Pacman cocktail machine at my local Pizza joint in 1981.

I love the upright. The monitor is real close, you can kind of lean in on it, and the variety of styles is awesome.

I don't know what a "tec GCSE" is. So I voted OTHER.

I like uprights but am really liking Cabarets these days.

That's a cabinet that has 2 supports with a large cloth spread across them that you can sleep in ...they sure are great when your wife kicks you out of the house with your cabinets, because they offer a place to sleep  :laugh2:

I vote pinball!

i dont know any stereotypes from the south east bar cockneys , it annoys all my mates too when i persist in calling them cockneys even though they are from brighton.

"hey polaris you great big sheep shagging,max boyce cock chomper,tidy lad,by here"

whereas you have me nailed, respect

everyone from brighton is a bum bandit,now where's my pot noodle as apparently there are pot noodle mines in wales now
the original kentish accent is similar to cornish/norfolk and we use the word "old" in front of everything,i.e "i am going down the old pub" or"do you have the old new england shirt"or"i need an old doner kebab"
don't make sense does it :P

whats a dynamo case?

and HA the polished screen !!!! you rmembered taht !! it still works !!! i still use it but the point is things look very pixel atted on it like they do on any SVGA monitor SO im either importing a arcade monitor OR going to use a old 21" TV i just realised is sitting in my grans garage !

thanks a lot for the offer but i want to go for CRT some glass !

im fitting a full JAMMA harness and a j-pac to make it look aufetic but if i end up using a TV i supose it won't be 100% cool

but thanks again you guys you R da best.

got tec today so teh next installment of course is to be done !

Don't forget about the ones where you insert a quarter and the black screen rises up and you enjoy the show.   :o
