    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
