I came across this picture as I was looking up a guide for my MAME cabinet that I will make one day. This reminds me of great gaming as a kid in an arcade but also strikes pure terror into my heart.
Remember when you talked graphics and it was like NES<Genesis<SNES<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ARCADE GRAPHICS!!
Ouch. That...that's sad. I remember thinking that the home consoles would NEVER catch up with the arcades, and even if they did, could you imagine what the arcades would look like?
My point exactly. Too bad we were far too young and dumb to understand how impractical arcade machines really are. Arcade graphics still look amazing too me though. Something with the style...
I really miss the arcade experience. The sound of all the games mixing together, the thrill of running to get more tokens before the continue timer ran out, and the temporary friendships forged over games of Alien vs. Predator. God that game was a blast.
Butmac: If you don't sign up for Allpeers and DON'T, under any circumstances, add me as "BrandonUndead", you may not find that I am sharing a folder of MAME cabinet resources. Just sayin'.
I must find this junkyard and get what scraps I can...what a shame. The retard that threw all those cabinets out must have no clue how much money those are worth.
And I would give a kidney for that NBA Jam T.E. cabinet.
Remember when Pit Fighter had graphics that made your eyes bleed? What a rip-off though. It cost 50-75 cents to play and the mechanics were shit. But hawt damn it was pretty.

Im working on my own MAME cabinet right now, so far I have most of the cab built... so I've basically barely started
Some one should really form a PETA for retro video games...

And I would give a kidney for that NBA Jam T.E. cabinet.

welcome. welcome to my friends list.
oddly enough I was not going to sign up for allpeers tonight because a bunch of the other people in the CBM aren't on it and not sharing things.
Like I told D - I'm not going to put Flight of the Conchords - One Night Stand on it tonight. And my username will not be Butmac.
Seriously, if one is nearby consider going. There are amazing deals to be had if you're patient and willing to take what you can get.
