Quoted from Darkwing:Dude, standing up to play the cabinet actually is an issue once your back starts getting grumpy. Maybe the right comfy barstool could help. My back always gets sore before im actually done playing on the cab =\
I have a japanese sit down cabinet. They got it right from the beggining. I still don’t know why arcades everywhere else had stand up cabinets.
Quoted from LordHumungus:same for me. 2nd would be a multi cart with a good quality Neo Geo cab. The AL 3 gives me all the best stuff and not too much either, I've have several multicade's with mame or Jamma and u just end end scrolling through 1000's of games but only ever playing a handful. There's something to be said for the fact that's everything is licensed and in a cab made for the experience. The rest look like garage projects 2 me. I had a Pac Man Party and while it was great for a short while, how many times can u play pac man? or Ms. Pac Man before u get bored with it, same for Donkey Kong.
Having zillions of roms is all about organizing them in lists, one favorites, one 80s, one shoot em up etc.
In the end a simple can with 2 sticks and 6 buttons each is all that's needed. That's why I can't stand these giant panels covered with a million things
Quoted from Ockeyhead:This machine is not for everyone > If you want the best w/ everything this is the way to go >>>
This is the best, arcade comes with a crt screen.
PXL_20210301_022304145 (resized).jpgQuoted from Moomert1:Astro City cabs were the best. I miss the one I had.
I bought that one 25 years ago, it came with me when I moved to the Bay area. I just hope the tube doesn't die on me, I don't have a plan B and they will likely become unobtanium at some points.
Quoted from Ockeyhead:You have made the right choice if want the best w/ everything. There is so much incredible variety w/ this machine that you will always find something different to make you/yours smile. The unique setup w/ high resolution & surround sound make all the games pop. Bringing the arcade into your home w/ full intensity.
The machine that I chose is called a Newlix. This is a Japanese Candy Machine that was prevalent in the 80's. My setup includes light guns, trackball, 4-way/8-way joysticks & pinball buttons on each side of the control panel. I was originally going to order a Megacade, but this machine was available immediately. I'm very happy w/ this machine since we are able to sit comfortably in a computer chair & play the night away.

This is a Taito Viewlix knock off, it's not from the 80s, it's a late 2000 cabinet.
