ive been playing game after game, but not for long and then quit game, although i loved  "most" of these games in my childhood

best ones are sega 1984 onwards,neogeo (was ahead of its time)

top 5

outrun
space harrier
shinobi
powerdrift

i cant play them as much, graphics are naff now, a bit like the spectrum and c64.
 i loved thoes but cant play them for long. nostalgia was good but only for about 5mins..


dont get me wrong, ive whittled my list right down to about 40 games, as most are just sh**

TelcoLou:
I still play mine almost every night.

dkubarek:
I can see how a cab isn't for everyone. I think a casual gamer would be better off with just building a control panel that stores easily or buying a pre-fab one. If you have an LCD TV you can just include emulators as part of your media center. I'm big on living small and avoiding 6-foot-tall pieces of anything in my house unless it's really needed, so I plan to go that route for now. It'll work out great for shooting games if a good LCD light gun comes around. (Imagine shooting games on a 50-inch TV? (I built one cab, but it was for a gift). Still, if you grew up playing at arcades, the cab is the best option, and I'll build mine when I move to a house with a basement.

ctozzi:
I actually get more enjoyment out of the restoration work and less fun from playing games.

pinballwizard79:
I play it almost every night usually a quick 15 minutes or so.

The weekends I really tear it up...with or without guests.

Most visitors want to play games like TMNT, Metal Slug or Mortal Kombat.

When its just me I fire up Dragons Lair & then all the classics (centipede, gyruss, gaplus, pacman & so on).
