The FAQ for the New Buyer/Seller is down, so..
I've got some older gaming systems, I'll list just as an FYI, but I'm thinking of getting into a few Arcade Cabinets.
Consoles:
JVC Xeye (Genesis/CD all in One)
32x
Atari Jaguar + CD (CD needs repaired)
Xbox (original)
Xbox (Soft Mod with new HDD and XBMC) Needs to be repaired
I'd like to get some real arcade cabinets of my favorite games, but not MAME emulations.
Asteroids or Deluxe
Pac-Man or Ms Pac-Man
Space Invaders or Deluxe
Tempest
Defender
Space Fury
Donkey Kong
Missle Command
Centipede or Millipede
Gauntlet Legends
I've seen the 60 in 1 Pac-Man mod for sale, it sounds nice, some extra games to play. If I got the 8-way joystick and a roller controller it could be nice. However, are these games authentic, or similar to MAME emulations?
What about the other games, are there any that are easy to make a multi-machine and still have an authentic gameplay?
I love the sound of walking into the arcade, like in Tron: Legacy, when he walks in the old arcade and powers them all up! Awesome!
Pros & Cons, Original CRT vs new LCD/LED monitor with IPS? I was recently at Pints & Pixels in Huntsville, the Tempest game, Asteroids and Space Invaders seemed to be sharper than I recall. Just wondering which screen they had on them.
How much repair work is involved after a machine has been fixed up? (For home use, not powered on all the time.)
Any tips in advance?
Thanks,
Sam
