The only arcade systems I actually own are a 3-1 trackball game with minigolf , bowling and pool and Tekken 2 in a Mortal Kombat cabinet (lol). I did have WWF Wrestlefest and had the chance to buy the original Double Dragon for like 75 bucks. And it worked great but I had already spent money on another arcade system and I was broke ahhhhhh!!!! But if you guys want to find great arcade games go to arcade auctions. Alot of local civic centers hold them.

Bubble Bobble, the only game worth having.
Well, short of it being my all time favorite game, the reason for my nickname, and the thing I play when i need to dosome deep thinking. BUT, also because all teh counsl versions are inferioir in desing. Plus Taito lost the original source code for the game so all porst done from 96 onwords are not taken from the originals, so having the original is important too me.
Plus it makes my Bub tattoo seem that much cooler.

I don't own any arcade cabinets... they're so friggin' expensive. $1000 to $3000 for a Ms. PacMan game?? C'mon...
I remember back in 1989 or so, the local arcade was selling a couple of their arcade games for about $200. I wanted to buy one, but of course, my parents wouldn't allow it due to a) transportation of the machine and b) nowhere to really keep it.
Is there anywhere to get a cabinet cheap?? Even SEARS sells those "all-in-1" like Midway compelations for like $1200, so it isn't cheap!

www.superauctions.com They have arcade auctions all over the US. Thats where I got my 3-1 trackball game from and it was like 100 bucks.
I have a portable battery powered "Alien Invaders" arcade machine (similar to those Coleco tabletop games from the 80s) , and that's it I'm afraid (for now) .

Roms are for teh weak. You ever seen Rambo use a rom? I don't think so. Charles Bronson kills people who use roms, and roms self destruct in the very presecne of Chuck Norris. Superman has a hugh gaming PC in the fortress of Solitude, but he still doenst use roms, nor does batman.
Bah, roms.
Bah, roms.
Thank you. I'm glad me and Xe aren't the only ones here with that philosophy.

The closest I can to owning an arcade game is playing the Midway's Arcade Treasure games and any others like it.
