Old arcade games?

Anyone into collecting old video arcade games?

I may have just started to get into this.

I got this for my upcoming 40th birthday:

I was addicted to this game when I was in my early 20's - lol!!

Nice.

I've always wanted to buy or build a classic arcade cabinet and put my PS2 or Dreamcast (before I sold it) behind it. I'd hook up an arcade style pad to it of course.
Something like this MAME cabinet:

That's a sweet game and Galaga still rocks. I found an old Missile Command game in an arcade at the beach when my wife and I took our first vacation. I knew she was a winner when I spent about 2 hours playing the game and she just saw the look in my eyes and left me alone

Oddly enough I have a functioning MAME cab. I don't play it as often as I would like.

Man, I would love to have Tempest and a game most people don't know/remember called Space Zap. I used to go into the zone on that thing.


btw tortus... the stool is a nice touch!

I remember in my "20s" when they came out with the first pong standup game - amazing the hours we used to play at it

If I remember correctly ARS used to have (and may still) some of the old arcade game boxes in their rewards store - I seem to remember looking at the MsPacman at one time - but went with something a little more usefull LOL

Pong, missle command, asteroids, and of course PAC
Many a night spent on those in a bar, no wonder my ratio of actually getting laid went down when I was in my early 20's...lol

I was a whore for Rygar -- a game a lot of people don't remember. When I was like 9 I promised myself when I could afford it, I'd buy the stand-up version for my home.

When I learned about MAME I just did that instead. This thread inspired me to play a bit last night.

Do you know a good site you can download the games for Mame? I used to play it all the time, but since the games manufactures started suing anyone who distributed their games, I have not been able to find many good ones.

I used to have a lot, never backed them up because I assumed I could just download them again if I needed them, then when my drive crashed and burned I discovered the copyright problem.

i built a mame machine , sits in the pc room right next to the juke box that i built ,
the mame cabinet i was lucky enough to find behind a fish & chip shop , it was getting thrown out , it needed a bit of work done to it , but it was in pretty good shape , saved me a few hundred for the shell

mame , well i started off with just amiga/c64 emulations then branched out

Nice!

I would love a Defender / Stargate box. I played it a ton in university. I saw brand new replicas in a catalog for US$3200 but that is too rich for my blood.

Asteriods was my game of addiction back in high school, then they got deluxe asteroids. Centiped was the other hot game. I remember the first game console I got, Intellivion, what a piece of crap.
