    AOC is a lib so she believes in the Great Man theory of History, so the 5 great N64 games matter more than the countless great PS1 games.

                Consoles were so expensive that's the reason why. But the home console ports of the arcade titles were literally arcade boards inside cartridges and were perfect 1:1 conversions.

                  That makes me want to find one for a cabinet build. I loved Samurai Showdown and Bust-A-Move, the local pizza shop down the street from my house had one and we kept a coat hanger on top that let us click the quarter slot for free gameplay

                    Baller shit! Yeah I'd love an arcade cab myself.

                      I have this raspberry pi 4 and an extra 22” monitor laying around, that was my original plan for a cabinet but I like the idea of finding a console now. Probably not cheap, I’ll end up paying back what I stole in quarters I’m sure

                        I wish the reseller market for old consoles and games was a reasonable. If I had a job I'd start collecting. I have a nice sony crt just in my closet I could be using.

                          I’d love to get my hands on one of those! I’ve recently been into restoring Gameboy’s and just picked up a Game Gear and new cap set for it. There is a surprising amount of aftermarket parts available for both. Soon I’ll be making my Gameboy with a USB-C port and a rechargeable cellphone battery with a backlit screen

      I take the radical centrist position, I liked both (but you're extra lib if you didn't chip your PS1)
