Extreme Arcade Home Arcade on sale at Sears

As I mentioned... I'm not looking at this for me but as a Christmas present for a six year old. He was up for a month over summer and he loved my Mame cab, so to him this would be just like papa! So for him the price isn't bad and he doesn't need a super cab, but... doesn't look like many games he'd like at his age.
And Missle Command and Crystal Castles without a trackball?? Why even include trackball and spinner games?
wbassett:
Well it's a moot point... it's not available in all zip code areas. Guess I will be building the little guy a bartop as planned. Probably better that way anyway, I can include the games he actually likes and plays.

And most people who are not on this website could not care less about Happ buttons vs something a little lower quality.

Not sure if you agreed or were disagreeing...but that's EXACTLY the point. The people saying this were people that weren't on this website...
I believe the specific example was a joystick breaking within a month and a few buttons stopping working in a similar time frame - under use by kids of 6-10.

If you got it for $400 and replaced with some happ buttons and joysticks, you're still looking at a pretty good deal for the money for someone that doesn't want to customize hardware or software.
To me, the only deal breaker would be if the games were ports like those crappy tv joystick game things instead of original rom images.
Thenasty:
for anyone thinking of building just the cab, I think this is already worth the money if you build the cab yourself from scratch.
Buy it, and then MAME it..... :applaud:
