Any other old farts out there like me who are into the old arcade games? If so, you gotta pick up Midways Arcade Treasures. For only $19.99 it is definitely a blast from the past. I got the bug to play some old arcade games after watching a show on G4. They were showcasing a company in my home state of Pennsylvania that refurbs old coin op arcade games http://www.quarterarcade.com/Default.aspx . They do everything from new buttons, video displays, artwork and power supplies. I've got my eyes on an upright Donkey Kong and a cocktail Pac Man. They will go nicely with a bubble hockey machine! _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter

I was going to put a xbox into a arcade box and setup all the options so that you could just play a game.. But then i thought.. Stuff standing up playing xbox heheheh :0
Ive still got the machines but they are rarely even turned on.. Save your money guys.. I thought it was a good idea at the time but wish i had my money back now to buy much cooler stuff.

Am envious of you forahobby. I just love arcade games. My wife turned our beautiful game room into a Nail Salon Giving me no room for a lot of my toys.
I am currently working on a plan to gain the space back...he he. I would like to have about 4 uprights, two cocktails, two pinball machines and a console gaming lounge area.
The machines I would be most interested in obtaining are pretty much the classics. Pac-Man, Asteroids, Asteroid Deluxe, Galaga, Centipede, Defender, Missle Command. Speaking of Missle Command just for the record, I shattered the high score for our look alike webgame... patting myself on the back.. _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter

Speaking of the Midway Arcade Treasures, I just grabbled the Nanco bundle with Pacman, MsPacman, Galaga, Galaxian, Dig Dug and Pole Position. There are a few other Pacman spinoffs, nothing major. I was in awe of the file size..or, there lack of. Most games that I back up are between 2and 4Gig. Nanco was 311MB...that's it... 311MB! That is totally hysterical. Sometimes I guess I just forget how far gaming has come. _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter
