My buddy Gaemul has Galaga. A good game but I think he should have gauntlet. Any other suggestions?

My friend has Donkey Kong. We have Ice Fever which is a hockey pinball machine.
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine...Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been....
oooo...gauntlet would be great...
you could also get something like time crisis 4 or maybe silent scope

I've got a Charlies Angels pinball from the late 70's thats pretty good. As far as a video game. I redid an old game cabinet and put a p133 in it to run MAME. They have cards that will emulate the keyboard when you press the buttons. It works well considering the whole thing only cost me about $500 and I can play pretty much any game I want.

that's a good way to go, for sure. i've seen some nice ones done that way.
if i were going to purchase one, it would either be galaga, ms. pac man, or heavy barrell.
yeah, pretty much we missed the boat on that one. but it's still here. get you some.

Just curious if Dark Fury didn't say this belongs in the game thread then it's ok right

I would have to say Defender. Ah memories of youth. After that I would love to have one of those two person shooter games.
:monkey:
as for using MAME... do you need to have a bunch of different joy sticks and controllers? Take a pic and show us

Man I miss going to the arcade. Arcades have really gone down in quality and quantity. Game works and D&B are okay, but some etheral part of the magic of an arcade is gone. Dammit, I'm old.

i guess...but I don't think a trackball is a wise investment unless you really, REALLY, want to play games what require a trackball.Originally posted by brainsmile

X-Men

If you've got the time to build the cabinet, I think that MAME is the way to go. If you are buying an older game, I would look for one with "simple" controllers. If a standard button or joystick is worn out, you could probably find a replacement. If it is some complex gun-turret thing, or has a lot of buttons on the joystick itself, you could be SOL if it dies.
Also keep in mind that these things are very heavy. I have a buddy that has to keep his in the garage because he doesn't have a way to get it upstairs to his game room (short of hiring professional movers).

maybe you could just mount one on each side and have the monitor swivel so you can just choose which side you need to be on.

I always loved Spy Hunter....I wasted plenty of quarters in that beast.
Donkey Kong Jr, was the beast from back in the day, and Elevator Action!
But definitely if you have the room for it, 8 man Dayton would be quite nice!
