For us "old-timers," yes. But to the younger "computer-geek" generation, they like it. Just like jukeboxes. I have my juke and have about 5000 45's for it (and have paid some good money for all of them). One of my computer-geek friends (who is a few years younger) is going to make a jukeebox out of an old entertainment console or gutted jukebox. What's he going to put in there? A old networked computer to play MP3's (probably 95% downloaded). That's not a jukebox (at least it is not one that I like).
Oh well. If they are not interested in the real thing, the it'll just make the real ones cheaper for all of us! |

Found an Atari release of Missle Command, Warlords and Combat for the PC at Fry's for 8 bucks. Big MC fan from days gone by and am just having a hoot, family contest under way. Haven't tried the others but cheap fun until have enough room to squeeze in a real arcade or two.

Hi
I had a MAME Machine a while ago in an original Cabinet. Found that the choice of over 5,000 games spoilt the fun. You'd just go from one game to another. You can 't knock the authenticity (something like that) of it though. The game looked and felt just like the original.
Also have a 3W1 Wallbox (seeburg diner ones from 50's) hooked up to my PC playing MP3 Files. But I always go back to my Wurlitzer JB to play the 45 version. Sounds so much better with the crackle.

I've both classic cabs and a classic cabinet equipped with MAME. I like MAME because it gives me the ability to play games I would never be able to afford to play again. MAME when it's done right is a great thing but I've seen many that are horrible. When my Cabinet is playing defender you cannot tell it is running on a PC. The only bad thing MAME is done is drive the prices down on cabinets. That's not totally a bad thing as long as your on the right end of the sale.

Well it's been a busy week for my gameroom.
In addition to the Wurlitzer 3600 jukebox, I also bought from someone a "Golden Tee" arcade machine. See photo below. I have a replacement marquee for the cracked one in the photo.
Every guy I know is so excited!
Oh and I sold my "Mr. Do" cocktail table machine on eBay for $450.00

Mr. Do is my favorite game. No really it is, I can play it for hours. Kito, what was that Golden Tee originally? It really lloks like a conversion to me.
