And for those who want arcade old school for a couple hundred bucks and a weekend out of your life you can take an old xbox (and chip it) a tv and some plywood and make an MAME (multiple arcade machine emulator) cabinet.

I think the version of MAME I put on my machine has about 1200 arcade games on it. Most are pretty boring but when you have a bunch of guys over drinking some beer some games are kind of fun....

old school Pac Man
Donkey Kong
Dig Dug
Defender
Gauntlet (Warrior needs food!) and the like.

Its also got the orignal Dragon's Lair, a joystick version of Golden Tee, and a DDR emulator for when families with lots of kids come over.

 

One of my brothers friends from back in the day, his dad was some high-up at sega so he had every system:

Sega Genesis
Sega CD
Sega Saturn
and Dreamcast all at once

 

Score. Those memory cards were so bad ass. If i remember right, you can play minigames on them while theyre in the controller.

Young bucks playing vintage items or
