    Though we already have a multicade, my wife & I are looking for a machine w/ all the bells & whistles. A multicade that has virtually every title produced that is equiped w/ a light gun, spinner controls, etc.

    At this time we are leaning towards a company that customizes these machines > extremehomearcade.com. The only downside is ~ that there is a six month+ waiting period to receive a machine.

    As stated, we do have a multicade that is a 2500 in 1. Very fun, but looking to purchase the best. So who do you recommend & why?

    Here is a picture of our 2500 in 1 >>>

    Quoted from pookycade:

    I would go get an old Ultracade or Arcade Legends. Quality parts, not 2500 games, but the classics and well laid out menu. Having done many of these by hand I find that while the number of games is held out as the success metric, you really won’t play most, and they clutter the ones you do want to play. Most standard renditions of newer built multicades use a Hyperspin front end that in heavy use seems to crash more often than not.

    Definitely looking for a machine that has the majority of every arcade game released. For us the more the better, though you're right ~ simple is sometimes better.

    Quoted from titanpenguin:

    If you find a good 4 player one, let me know. I’ve been bouncing back and forth for a while now on what to do.

    Check out extremearcade.com on You Tube. The game selection is endless + there is a variety of options including four player controls w/ LEDs + anything control wise.

    Quoted from IdahoRealtor:

    Ultracade and Arcade Legends were well made, but aren't those basically time bombs now? Old PCs with hard drives overdue to croak? I owned one about ten years ago and was very pleased with it.

    We are absolutely pleased w/ our 2500 in 1 but after viewing the extreme/arcade videos, there is another alternative that offers everything arcade related. We are looking for other options that might offer a similar arcade experience. The only discouraging issue w/ extremearcade.com is the six & some waiting time to receive the machine. I'm sure it's well worth it ~ but I'm impatient.

    Thanks for the correction, my bad.

    Is https://extremehomearcades.com/hom.aspx the only company that offers this customized arcade experience? We are simply looking for similar alternatives if there is any? There are many You Tube videos for anyone who wants to check it out, but there doesn't seem to be another company that offers this unique experience?

    Great, we will definitely be looking into all of the above mentioned just to be sure on a final decision. I'm sure there are many great possibilities but we absolutely want a customized multicade w/ virtually everything. We just don't want to wait six months + but if this is the only avenue then we will follow through.

    If there are any other suggestions that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
