Anyone own a full size arcade game???

Yeah, mine has over 4000 arcade and home console games. Paid about $2800 on Amazon. I lost interest after about a month or two.

Wait, was it one of the truly old school full size arcade joints with a CRT TV, and the 4 player pads?!

$2800 for one month?!


I'm speechless

Nah, not dat one. This one, but mine didn't come with the guns. Also, I paid monthly on Klarma, but lost my job so I never paid it off.

This!
My cousin brought an old Capcom joint with like 100 of their classic games. We ended up playing Street Fighter everyday for like a week then completely lost interest.

As cool as it is to have an old school stand up arcade system in your house, that shit will get old quickly.

Man, I bought one of the mini ones with 10000 games or whatever that you can hook up to the TV. Returned that shit cause the joystick felt flimsy as fuck. Definitely wasn’t the same feel as the arcade. Couldn’t get my Street Fighter moves off correctly.

One of these types.
 
I need to buy Dragon's Lair so I can destroy the game with a hammer....., it's the worst stand-up video game I ever played. What a waste of tokens....

Wow, those look legit with all those games. At least you didn't spend a lot on it.
 
Does anybody still work on them is the million dollar question ...?

u dont wanna buy one and it goes down and u cant find parts or even find someone that fixes them ...:puzzled:
 
I don't even have the room but to save space I just use a program called RetroArch for the PC that has a bunch of emulators built in. Just have to source the ROMS for the games and you can play damn near every console/arcade game created.
I have RetroArch too (although I haven't played it in years now) with a couple of SNES-like controllers that I played through my NVIDIA Shield.
It would be cool to have something similar on a full-size cabinet to put in my game room.

You can build your own cabinet, possibly a counter top sized unit using just a Raspberry Pi. I have a buddy who built his own.

Here's an example:

I was actually thinking about building a coffee table unit for my living room since I have an ikea coffee table with hidden drawers and a couple of raspberry pi lying around.
 
Seems like the trend kinda came and went but that means people who are into this can probably get them at good prices or get better setups.

I'd personally love a USB verson of the NES/SNES Advantage.
