90's Arcade
« on: March 18, 2012, 12:47:30 PM »
My mate was looking for a stand up arcade machine (like the "big red arcade machine") with Turtles, Street Fighter, The Simpsons, The titles that you played in the early-mid 90's wile waiting for fish and chips. Dose anyone have any experience with these machines, think JAMMA is what I am looking at, and how much do you think one of them would cost with the for mentioned games + maybe like 4 or 5 more. Thanks for your help, pinball is more my style and haven't done much research into arcade.

Too expensive and WAY too messy to keep all those boards going - I think he would create a maintenance monster!

Just build a MAME cab and have thousands of games - you can disble the ones he doesn't want.

Where are you based, now of a arcade in the Central Coast that had stand ups for the $700 - $800 which you could probably put a 60 in 1 card.

60 in 1 jamma multi board the way to go, plenty of games for the whole family  $#$

$600 to $800 would get you something decent.

It would be difficult to have all these games swapped over in one cabinet. TMNT is a four player and Street Fighter a 2 player.

You could look at the 300 in 1 board - All the Street Fighters and predominantly fighting games. I'm about to do a conversion with this board. The 60 in 1 are more 80's than 90's.

60 to 1 sounds ok for me but think I should look into the four player. I forgot the TMNT and the Simpsons was four player. Now that I think back most of the games I liked were 4 player. He may not be so attached, I may have steered him towards those games cause I liked them.

HUGE Earner. There used to be 3-4 cabinets with SF II Championship Edition on local sites that were not arcades. Even the Pinball was a good earner.

Sorry for hijack, but Didn't Jamma drop all their 48-in-1, 60-in-1 (and larger) gameboards due to way toooo many overheating faults?
Now they only do "1-game-per-board" instead. (which is more business for jamma).

hopefully something new & reliable is available? but i grilled them for ages with no repsonse or updates...
