I wonder if anyone out there has made a variant of this &#8211; big arcade, tabletop, or other.<\/p>\n<p>Personal fact about me: I grew up playing coin arcades as a kid &#8211; and got into a LOT of trouble for it. During college, I became an assistant manager of an arcade. I was the kid that went into the arcades in times square during the seedy era to play against the pros that would go there. Before and after college, I competed in several Street Fighter tournaments. I actually hustled people in college playing Street Fighter &#8211; making money for me and my friends to go to iHOP after. Yeah&#8230; I was -that- kid.<\/p>\n<p>Though&#8230; funny story:<\/p>\n<h4>Street Fighter at State University of NY &#8211; Plattsburgh, NY:<\/h4>\n<p>My partners in crime Dave and Eric and I were playing Street Fighter at the college center. Like.. for 10 hours. Maybe more. We finished.. collected the money we made smoking the people thinking they had a shot and left the building.<\/p>\n<p>To rest the eyes and take in some air, we laid on the lawn in front of the sports building. Closing my eyes and relaxing, I could still hear Dhalsim&#8217;s board. I believe it was elephants.<\/p>\n<p>I shot straight up! What was that? Oh nothing. Back to lay down.<\/p>\n<p>Again, it happens. Shoot straight up again. Back to resting position.<\/p>\n<p>This continues to happen for like 20 minutes as we are walking around. I think we were headed up to iHOP when i CLEARLY heard the elephants&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; coming from Eric&#8217;s pocket.<\/p>\n<p>He had recorded the Dhalsim&#8217;s sounds with his external casette recorder and was just playing them at random intervals. I couldve killed him&#8230;<\/p>\n<h4>******<\/h4>\n<p>So, geeky as it sounds &#8211; the Arcade (yes, including the big physical box), is something that I&#8217;ve always identified with as a bright spot in my childhood.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uGqdNhFXXyM?rel=0\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In a perfect world, i&#8217;d own a full arcade sized one like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xgaming.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Xgaming X-Arcade<\/a> one they have. But that thing would have to live in the garage&#8230; and I think i&#8217;d have to live in it once I got it. But man it looks awesome!<\/p>\n<p>So.. anyone else into arcades\/mame? Have you ever built one?
