Quote from: Mr. Analog on September 30, 2022, 03:23:20 PMDude that'd be awesome!

Might need a 3rd one specifically for two player with LOTS of buttons per player unless the 4 player one could handle that.

However both those types of cabinets tend to be large so no room in my current home.. More of a future man cave wishlist. I would probably just run them as MAME or MiSTer setups.. I am not that into original hardware but I might go as far as keeping them CRT just because most classics really do not render correctly without true scan lines and phosphor ghosts to pull off some of the old pixel tricks. (particularly sudo transparency effects)

Mr. Analog

Oh absolutely! Gotta go CRT

I'm gonna take you back to the past
To play the @%&#ty games that suck ass

Actually most of those 4-bit games are still pretty fun, even if they look @%&#ty.

COMBAT will never not be addictive fun, for example.

We were an Intellivision then Sega Master System household but knew lots of people with the 2600 and NES.

I will say the 2600 controls are WAY better than the Intellivision bizarre disk and membrane phone pad.

I only tried it once and it was very strange!
