They aren't a home console, but they are still used for gaming. And if you can afford one, then you could probably consider it a home console. Anyway, arcade games are fun, and those joysticks add on that factor.

One of the best arcade games would be Marvel Vs. Capcom, as well as Super Street Fighter Puzzle or something like that. That game was soo much fun, it's kind of like Tetris but with a twist, and you once you clear blocks, your opponent gets them stacked. Similar to Puyo Puyo (Dreamcast).

Arcade machines sure are fun. They entice the gamer through a complete different channel.

I love playing shooting and driving games in the arcade

yeah agreed shooting games are good for arcade, and i actually seen a drum game
made by konami! you know konami dance dance revolution makers yeah it was coool
and fighting games a great for arcade aka marvel vs capcom and tekken
everyone has memories of there arcade tekken matches xD

with my brother and i combined we have 4 arcade machines. Truxton, bad lands, sun set riders and a broken down captain america and the avengers. they are pretty fun... actually... i sold one to my friend Pascal for his arcade collection. but they are great and my friend and i are going to open up an arcade in a few years.

Nice.

Did you buy them used or did you get them new? I'm guessing those machines are worth at least $800+ in working condition...

@Side_scroll'r:
good luck with that let us know how that works for you, this country needs more arcades were i can get pwned at the price of two quarters.... ahhhh the good old days way back when i was a wii little boy and could hardly reach the panel of the arcade system... ahhh well thats enough nostalgia for one day.

This is actually a great story. We were looking around at garage sales this day because my town has a yearly thing called the largest garage sale in the world and they are endless around town. and i bought these from a youth center at a church. We bought all 4 of them for 40 dollars... thats 10 dollars a pop. they are in good condition. but then again it was used by a bunch of little kids so they do have some damage but they are in pretty good condition.

Wow, what a great deal. I can't find the site that I went on a while ago to check how much certain machines cost, but they are definitely worth more than $10 each lol.

Good luck with your arcade if you ever decide to launch one. But you'll probably get older customers as these kids want all that 3D stuff, however you don't have to worry about them damaging your machines though :)

exactally. plus we are going to have a few rules about if your under a certain age you cant come in... as well we are going to have a LAN lounge in the back and so far i have just a few rules, you break it you buy it, only REAL arcade games (no ski ball) and of course the most important rule... NO world of warcraft lol.
