It's not the same. I want a machine and a stack of 10 pence pieces.

Even if $2,995 is a bit steep...

Unfortunately I'm too young to have experienced these games, but I know the feeling of seeing old games from my own youth (and those old games I've played at a later time then when they came out because I was too young when they came. Like Civ1. ).

I try and I try, and still you´re not satisfied.

That much for a little playing thing? A friend of mine bought a NES with games for 50 NOK two years ago. 50 NOK is ~8 USD these days I think.

In the good old days the British 2p piece was the same size as the French 10f piece, and so you could play for hours on an arcade for less than the price of a Mars Bar.
This, as far as I am concerned, is the only thing wrong with the Euro (even if the French changed the design of the 10f coin well before the introduction of the Euro, perhaps as a result of pressure from arcade manufacturers. ).

It´s a newly produced high-tech arcade machine with 170 (old) games in one. But still, vintage arcade games go for a pretty steep price as well.

Oh, and Gaunlet as well. One game could last for hours

The problem when you´re hunting for ROM´s is that in some cases you don´t remember what the game was called. It´s not as if you want to click for 2000+ random screenshots...

You could play Name The Game and hope one of our resident gaming gurus knows it.

Or you could just have a random (nearish, based on the clues) guess, and then it might be time for another update.

Bah, all shoot ´em up games are the same anyway. Who cares if your airplane is a bi-plane with spots on... I think it was anyway.
