A few months ago at a place called GameWorks, here in South Florida. Right now, I'm about 300 dollars away from getting my custom cabinet built that has over 30,000 games on it....including games like the 1989 TMNT, Turtles In Time, Simpsons, X-Men, Time Crisis, etc. It will have the gun attachments and stuff. I truly miss the arcade era. I beat a lot of folks in MK2 and 3, Severely!

What, you will have 30,000 Arcade games with easy access through an Arcade cabinet?

How is that possible and what's the final cost?

I have a family member who owns a game shop.

 

he offered me something like that. thousands of games(I can choose the design and button setup) for about 1200-2200 dollars. That's over 10 games for a dollar.

About a month ago. It was some motorbike game, well worth the money.



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

Surprised no one else has mentioned barcades. This was the first I encountered on my travels. http://www.16-bitbar.com Just do a Google search, there might be a barcade in your area. (Barcade is a brand name, but there's no real official name for this type of establishment.)

Last time I played in the arcade is about 2 years ago

A month ago. I didn't have enough coins for another air hockey game, so I just used what I had on some cheap sega racing game.

About a month ago. There is a game place that has dozens of old arcades and consoles where you pay $10 for unlimited play for the day. I still enjoy playing the classic X-Men arcade game.

That's the way arcades need to go really. $15 to 20 unlimited play for the day. When you can get the same experience at home except for the specialized cabinets. Gaming at an arcade can be fun. That sounds like a great time. 

Given how some games are real quarter munchers shows when you have unlimited continues. Mister Burns on the old SImpsons game is such a cheap final boss.

Not on this side of the millennium. I frankly can't remember

A few months back, I came across a page on Facebook that specializes in building custom arcade cabinets. I mean anything from Hulk, Addams Family, Super Mario, Star Wars, etc. They will build it for you. It looks PHENOMENAL!!! The name of the page is "Arcades R Fun". I'm not sure if I can post their link here as it may be under solicitation or something. Just check their page out. They do great work. It's almost 4 grand for the specific one that I want. There are cheaper ones. It goes by the size of the monitor you want I believe. 

 

Oh and yes I wasn't exaggeratting about how many games it comes with. It's 30,000!

Those cabinets in that homepage were really big and genuine looking. I love cabinets so much.

But 30,000 games. That must be pracitcally all games available on MAME. I hope they'll work, installed on that cabinet.

Almost 4,000 Dollars is sadly out of my price range lol

I think that could be 20 years ago.

Maybe a couple weeks ago. I played some Time Crisis 3 after eating pizza.
