What's weird is I totally did not even play.  I simply looked at the condition of the machine (front and sides) and stroked it a couple of times.  That's how I knew I was "officially" hooked on building arcades.  ;-)  LOL

Yeah, I do this too when I see them. I can play the same-looking display at home; 25 and 27 inch are basically the same-looking. Now if it's an original mspac, I would definitely play. Original Galaga, not necessarily.

Sorry for dragging this one up from the dead.  Wish I would have seen this.  I can score 350,000 on my dedicated Joust.  I mainly wanted to ad that Joust in MAME is definitely different than on a dedicated machine.  I am not sure why exactly, but I believe it has more to do with the original cabinet having leaf switches than MAME itself. 

I thought people were crazy when they would praise leafs so much until I actually got a dedicated machine with leafs.
