: on your site you mention that you own an arcade (gunthers games).
: How do you personaly feel about emulation? I mean if you are dependant on arcade takings for an income doesn't this mean we are taking the food right off your table?
: Just being nosey. As far as I know you are the only arcade operator who posts on this board, I guess most of them see it as a source of income rather than a hobby.
: P.S. your cabinet is pretty darn cool! Years of experence I guess :-)
I like the classics, my arcade makes its money with all the new stuff and ticket type games. Silent Scope 2, Cruzin Exotica, Rush 2049, Elvira, Mars Attacks, Star Wars Episode 1, Medievil Madness, Deer Hunter, Gauntlet Legends, 18 Wheeler American Pro trucker, Hydro Thunder, Golden Tee 4, Pop a Shot, Time Crisis 2. I do have some classics on the floor, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. Tetris, Galaga, Ms Pac-Man. These games do get played but arent big money makers. I will say this though, I would not have and arcade without them, it just wouldnt be right. I love emulation, I would play Robotron over any game I have in the arcade.
