Big Lots Video Game

[DUD]

Don't know if there is any interest or not, but My local Big Lots have a Midway Video game in an upright cabinet with several games in it for $50.00. I got there as They were loading the last 2 on a truck. They were in a cabinet designed to look like Ms PacMan with controls, if interested might be worth a call. Bill

At $50 its a steal!!!

If that happened here, my wife would be asking the following two questions to me:

1. Where the #*(&^ are you going to put it?
2. How the U*()&*()&^ are you going to get it off the truck?

Well, she probably would ask this: WHAT THE %^*()& WERE YOU THINKING?!?!?!?!

Sounds like my house - lol.

This forum is how I ended up with a full closet, $50 is a steal.

For $50, it is a bargain, but I'd think long and hard about $250 - $300.


If anyone is interested in retro-gaming, you need to do some research on MAME. Basically, you can run any or all of the old arcade games on a very modest computer. There are some legal issues to educate yourself about.

Now for the real application for this forum:

Build your own cabinets, control panels, etc!

I built a 2-person control panel a few years back - before I had done any woodworking. Definitely a project I'll revisit one of these days.


Oh and if you can't imagine one in your living room, have a look at this one: http://cmdrtaco.net/jubei/
