This is an AWESOME idea. I wish that I could buy an arcade and do that here. Just a little problem with the $$ thing if ya know what I mean. I think that if you do this, more of the customers to the arcade would be our age, (i.e. in there mid to late 20's and 30's) I don't think that the kids of today are interested in the old games when they can pay $1.00 to play one of the new ones and get their a** kicked in 30 seconds. I would LOVE to see an arcade go this route. All the arcades around here don't have ANY of the classics in them. That's the motivation for me to build my mame cabinet. :) Anyway, the ones that I would like to see in the arcade are ones like Asteroids, Defender, Missle Command, 1942, Centipede, Dig Dug, Robotron, Galaga, Pacman, Ms Pacman, Donkey Kong, Crazy Climber, Frogger, Tron, Spy hunter, Magmax, Berzerk, Ikari Warriors, Elevator Action, Gauntlet, Double Dragon, Heavy Barrel, Jungle Hunt, Kangaroo, Popeye, Marble Madness, Guzzler, Tempest, and Zookeeper. I'm kinda partial to these since I grew up with these. :) Anyway, that's my $.02. I'd deffinately spend a lot of time in your arcade if you had these in there. :) When are ya going to open? :)
Game on!! Brian
: Hey all you arcade fans out there, got a question for you. In your local arcade, besides Ms Pac Man and Galaga, what classics do you think would get played the most? I just purchased the local arcade here in Columbia, MO and as soon as I give the current game setup 30 days I am gonna be trading out some of the unproductive games with my favorite CLASSICS! Would also be interested in what the hot NEW game is in your area.
