Negative. No way. Totally ridiculous. The mere existence of Arcade1up caused some people here to lose their cool, and despite it being arcade related news, it got banished to it's own forum. I lol at the idea of "precedent". Midway treasures didn't get its own sub-forum, and neither did Jakks - so there's your precedent, I vehemently protest the creation of Altgames and moving everything that doesn't meet some new poorly defined criteria being defined by a few protesters.

Lol - I don’t know why you still see it as banishment. It’s a dedicated support forum for people who want to mod them. No different than the Pi subforum, the Jukebox subforum, or the lightgun and driving subforums.

There are few mods that would make them any better, they are already too cheap to be viable in that light. Why just the other day (*at W/mart) I saw 3 of them on clearence for 75.00 apiece..Still too much (Imo) unless you are gifting them to kids as a learning tool...However banishment is to harsh, The idiots buying them are virtually throwing away the real cabs they had stashed away...personally Jennifer can't stop smiling (and sometimes just Laughing for days) at how they brag up that new A1, as I cart away their old spiderweb junk...Life is good. 8)

He can't be the savior of the downtrodden if he looks at it rationally.

Just to chip this in.. There's a big reason why A1U should have it's own forum and something like the AtGames cab shouldn't (at least right now). There have currently been well over 400K A1U's sold to date. By the end of the year, that number will probably exceed 700K units
That's a bigger than huge number. If the AtGames cab can sell 5% of that, it will be a success
