Best Of

I'll be interested in seeing where this goes because I've been torn about what I'm going to do with my basement gameroom. We close on a house in three days, it has a nice little basement area, where we have decided on one of those flip 3 in one air hockey, pool, ping pong tables, now the question is what kind of arcade. I was leaning towards just keeping it cheap and easy and getting a few of those little Arcade 1up machines, Pac Man, Galaga, the new Marvel Super Heroes one and saying, good enough. I don't think I can reasonably get a commercial machine down there, it's just too heavy, but my ideal machine would have been the Pac Man pixel bash chill. Anyhow, there is a company call Rec Room Masters, they make ready to build cabinets with good hardware. I thought about one of those knowing that I could take it down a part at a time and assemble it, but I'm not sure I'm as interested in Retropi because my experience messing around with emulation has always been a bit of a headache, I've never been that big a fan of emulators and ROM's and wonky front end interfaces with a too many choices. If I did one, I'd have to discipline myself to be extra selective.

That said, a four player NBA Jam machine would be rad as hell. Let's compare notes on this.
