ah, you have specific games in mind. in that case, you need one that allows for adding of games (usually PC based or PS3/XBOX based).

 

friend of mine has a couple of arcade cabinets in his man cave...one of them broke and he never got it repaired after numerous service calls. most of them just sat there after a day or two of use.

 

we also picked up a used on from a local arcade machine dealer...some you can get pennies on the dollar.

 

Dragon's Lair will be tougher to get on most machines. here's one that has it as an add on:

alternatively, just get one of these boxes and put in a PS3 to play any classic games off PSN:

None of them seem to have games like the Donkey KOngs... Dragons Lair... Popeye etc.. Are these things any good?

Buy a good MAME arcade - I got a couple of the LEGENDS multi-cades - they are good but you ALWAYS want something it doesnt have - so the mame will let you install what you want.

 

Some are great -with loads of lights and look better than the "brand" multicades.

That's the company I've been looking at for a single full-size cabinet with a shitload of MAME-based games. This one in particular:

Have read a lot of good reviews about their products, looking forward to getting one.

There is a huge gaming auction company called super auctions. There web site is www.superauctions.com . They go all over the US and have TONS of stuff . The last Atlanta auction i went to i picked up a Galaga , Killer Instinct 2 , and a bowling game. You also meet a lot of local people in your area that can fix them, have reproduction stiker and decal kits so you can restore your games ETC. Its THE gaming auction company .

I would also like to get all the old Nintendo and Super Nintendo games available to be played on my TV, with similar controllers. I know you can do something with having them all ported over to a PC, then hook that up to a monitor - like a TV or a standup old school arcade. All the old games bring back instant memories of child hood - more than almost anything.

That is a tough game to find and the key thing is shipping so its a MUST to find games you like local. That is why i like the Super Acutions so much. All games are plugged up and can be played up until the auction starts. Then you know what your getting. Play it , Buy it , load it up and take it home. NO SHIPPING !

I have a guys number somewhere that has a library of reproduction decals that i met here in Atlanta. He was reasonable on prices and they looked good. I think the full kit of Galaga that i bought was around $125. Simi gloss or flat black the cabinet and put his decals on and your game will look BRAND NEW !

When i got my nintendo back in the day we used to have spend the night Excitebike tournaments . We played all day and night. What a simple but flat out awesome game ! I remember taking my crappy duck hunt game that came with my system back to wal mart and swaping it for a good game. Those were the good days when wal mart would take anything back without a reciept ! LOL

Between this and the BMX thread you guys are really taking me back!!

 

For the Florida guys, do you remember the arcade that had a go-kart track out back? I think it was called Grand Prix and also a mini putt that was a castle or something like that...
