So ... How do you explain your cabinet when guests arrive?

TheVengeance:
So we're entertaining a few people last night, and this guys says to me, "What is that? How's it work?" Meaning of course , the innerds.

I try explaining my cabinet the best I can, and he still looks puzzled. So I figured alright, he's pretty clever, perhaps I should just drop some logic on him and tell him what it really is. WRONG! He was lost even more.

danny_galaga:
most people are happy with the explaination i give. because it looks low key, they first assume i refurbished an original. and i think the most played game by others is ga- lager (",)

BarontheFirst:
To explain mine I simply say it is a computer dedicated to games that I built myself. Then I get more and more questions. I don't think there is a simple answer for a person that has no idea what emulation is.

versapak:
Fortunately it is usually an easy question with mine, since it is an Xbox inside.


Though I can get more and more questions if it is running MAME, and then I just say "It is modded, and it runs lots of extra stuff.

bjk7382:
I have the opposite problem. I don't have any mame yet, so I find people coming over either, get bored with games really fast and moving to the next dedicated game, or they don't take intrest in them at all. ::) Maybe I just have them set up to my difficulty, and they just die a lot so it isn't fun, but I hate changing the dips all the time so they can just learn like I did.

And they are totally baffled by flicking the coin switch to put credits on them.

I can only imagine trying to explain a mame setup.
