Need Advice - Buying Arcade Games

[bob101910]

Just found out that there is a FarCry light gun arcade game and I want it. Thought about some other light gun games that I used to play when I was younger like Jurassic Park, Star Wars, House of the Dead, etc.

Anyways...What is a good website to buy arcade games from? I'd prefer something I can download or use easily that is cheap, but I wouldn't mind saving up for the actual arcade game if it isn't too expensive.

If you get the real machines, eBay is pretty much where you'll be going, and it usually won't be cheap. I dropped about $2k on a pinball machine last year... but, to be fair, it's awesome.

If you shop around enough you may just get lucky. I found an Area 51 arcade cabinet at a yard sale up here in maine a couple years back for $300. I would have bought it but my woman gave me that look... I say check craigslist and uncle henrys.com frequently and you will come across something.

Thanks for the responses. Off to Ebay.
