I should clarify... Randy Fromm does sell them, but here's just a middle man. All he does is buy them from the factory (Quantum3D) and resell them to the end user. He had nothing to do with it other than that.

: Randy Fromm has nothing to do with this. Ultracade has been around for around 2 years. I met the programmer at an arcade auction about 6 months ago, where I bought one. Quantum3D, the company that makes it, is a manufacurer of high-end 3D hardware for embedded systems. They games are emulated, but it is not MAME based. They wrote their own emulator.

: : 1. Randy Fromm -is- the real name of the entrepreneur.
: : 2. His cab does have a system by which you can coin up, switch games, and have that credit still present before you press Start. I have thought that this is unique, but perhaps it isn't?
: : 3. Hmmmm, a unique, proprietary system. For security reasons, a user cannot install his own PC-based games.
