I played some tekken last Friday. Someone left some coins in so I played for free. Happens more often than you might think.

Probably like a billion years ago.

Digging through my memory it was in Disneyland. Last time I was there was 2004, but it's more likely it was either 1998 or 1999.

Yeah their cabinets look better than any other cabinets I've ever saw. Especially with the custom artwork and LED lights on the joystick/buttons and the bottom of the cabinet. As soon as I get my cabinet, I'm definitely posting pics. I had to save months for this and I still have a few paychecks to save before I'm done. Well, I forgot I have to shell out another 350 for them to ship it to me.

Remember there are some as cheap as 2700. The one I personally wanted just happened to cost that much. Yeah and I think you're right. That's damn near every game on MAME. I haven't heard any complaints about malfunctions or anything like that. Everyone that has done business with them was completely satisfied and adored their work. I believe they have done work for some celebrities as well.

If you want a shortcut, build your own pedestal.  Then plug it into your PC.  Or buy a small HTPC PC, kinda like the one Disolitude put in his Dreamcast case.  The wood should cost you around 20 bucks, the buttons for two players should run you 80, a cheap PC encoder should cost you around 15-30 each.  Paint and primer will run you another 30.  You're looking at maybe 150 tops for the actual pedestal.You don't even need much wood working skills cause Home Depot will cut most of the wood for you.

I personally built something similar to this: 

Very good.

When will your cabinet arrive? You definitely have to post pic and tell about your impressions!

There's so many good Coin-op Arcades I loved back in the day and still play on MAME. They still hold up so well.

lol a ghetto cabinet. That's much more in my price range.

Looks comfortable and usable, but it doesn't really give the authentic atmosphere and feeling of being back in time.

Played some Ms Pacman / Galaga at my local arcade last month.  There used to be this retro arcade on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights NJ pre-hurricane Sandy that had all kinds of old school classics like DK, Pole Position, Asteriods, Rampage, Frogger, Mario Bros, SFII, TMNT '89, and even some classic pinball machines as well.  Sadly most of the arcade and cabinets got wiped out during hurricane Sandy a few years back.  Most of the boardwalks & arcades in my area have your typical DDR & light gun games like Big Game Hunter or Terminator, but not too much else except for a ton of claw machines and prize games.

I'll be done my pedestal tomorrow.  You can judge when I get pictures of it.  It's not as exact as I wanted it to be.  Me and my dad made the cuts wrong, but it's pretty close.  I tried to make it look as close to Capcom's big blue as I could.

Couple of weeks ago. X-men vs Street Fighter.

They had an arcade while I was at Super Smash Con a couple weeks ago, and got to play games like jubeat and the original Punch-Out for the first time, was pretty cool.
