Magical Drop, Sonic Wings and King of the Monsters > all else.I'd rather spend the cash on a neo-geo cabinet. At least then you can get some SamSho and Metal Slug on.
And it falls through.Back in the day people would take turns. So Player One would play till they lost one life, then it would be Player Two's turn. Next week I'll tell you about putting your quarter on the bottom of the screen to show that you're next.
We all know how that turned out, and you do NOT want him helping you, LOL!I have to get George Costanza to help me get it across the street. I know, I know, wrong game but,

These cabs were a nightmare to move, and the monitors were pretty much garbage. Wells Gardner trash.This is the only arcade ever worth having in the house:

How do you play two player if there's only one joystick?
Lol you don't need a second controller. Thanks for making me feel old.I was wondering the same thing.
...
Our bar/arcade has this. Pretty sure it's the same one from the Showbiz Pizza/Chuck E Cheese.This is the only arcade ever worth having in the house:

Well, obviously the purpose of these things is not to play 30 year old games, it's to have a show piece for a game room, man cave, basement, etc.I mean since this IS cheapassgamer, just sayin' with a raspberry pi and a little can-do attitude you can build a MAME cabinet for like $200 and have every single game you've ever wanted in it.
And have 2 joysticks...
I honestly always look for the bad condition ones and then fix it up cause you get way better deals that way. It like a classic car are you going to spend a fortune buying a classic car in mint condition or spend a small amount on a junker and restore it to it former glory for a significant fraction of the priceWell, obviously the purpose of these things is not to play 30 year old games, it's to have a show piece for a game room, man cave, basement, etc.
Older ones are nice, but there's always the issue of finding one in good condition and you can't tell me 30 year old technology will look better than even the cheapest modern screen.
The art on this one is really nice too.
Not saying I would ever buy one, but it has it's purpose for some.
Speaking as another person who bought an arcade machine and fixed it up, it's a LOT of work. Hunting down the specific machine you want is hard enough (unless you're willing to settle for anything, because you're going to gut it and redo the artwork). Your new machine could be hours away, the seller might not be exactly honest about the condition, you've got to figure out how you're getting it home, and the maintenance, oh boy. God help you if you need new proprietary parts, or have to fix something so obscure that not even Google knows.I honestly always look for the bad condition ones and then fix it up cause you get way better deals that way.

Your daily nostalgia fix:Ahh, Showbiz Pizza. I think the one in my town shut down in like 1984. I remember having 1 birthday there, don't remember much else. It was conveniently located right next to a Gemco, where my Mom used to always buy me He-man figures. That's a Target now.
Men and women have been doing it since the dawn of time.How do you play two player if there's only one joystick?

And what if two guy friends want to play? I mean, most gamers don't have girl friends/GFs/wives.Men and women have been doing it since the dawn of time.
If you want a shooting gallery, the only answer is this.I'll be back!
Wrong WRONG WRONG!!!If you want a shooting gallery, the only answer is this.

I played the heck out of Revolution X the Genesis and on the PS1, which of course weren't as great as the arcade machine.Don't get me wrong, I played Time Crisis 2 more than any of the other ones. But Revolution X has much more of a wow factor, if you were to choose one. Time Crisis 2 is too easy to beat on one credit.
If you look on youtube, the creator/engineer of the Showbiz animatronic band (named The Rock-afire Explosion) has actually been choreographing/filming various music videos with them. Seriously...search for the band name on youtube, and you'll find them "performing" everything from NIN to Shakira.Your daily nostalgia fix:

You need at least four of those, linked. And I will destroy everyone, this being one of the few games I'm good at, lol
The guy you're referencing is Aaron Fechter. He's a pretty interesting guy--I highly recommend anyone visiting Orlando, FL to look into taking a tour of Creative Engineering. He has tons of great stories and animatronics to share. Also, he invented Whac-a-Mole.If you look on youtube, the creator/engineer of the Showbiz animatronic band (named The Rock-afire Explosion) has actually been choreographing/filming various music videos with them.

Am I the only one who knows that in these games you took turns... so when player 1 dies, you move over, and player 2 plays, then when they die, player 1 goes again. It's like passing the controller in some old NES games... oh... you youngins don't remember passing the controller either... damn. Now I am sad.(
I was going to answer this, but I saw others did it for me. WOW, I'm old, or the guys asking about 2 players are way young, or maybe both. LOLBack in the day people would take turns. So Player One would play till they lost one life, then it would be Player Two's turn. Next week I'll tell you about putting your quarter on the bottom of the screen to show that you're next.
