#60 IN 1 ARCADE EMULATOR PC UPGRADE#

I guess one could argue you could restore anything back to original but that's if the parts still exist. It's understood as a nostalgic process of not living in the past but persevering some history for others to enjoy.įor the same reason I would not get a lift kit for a 1919 Ford Model T Coupe, add a GPS system, get LED lights everywhere, with giant off road tires is the same reason I wouldn't kill a classic game to add a track ball and some crappy 60-in-1 emulated games. EZPZĬlassic game collecting is like a historical society. No re-wiring, drilling into existing control panel, or gutting of a classic cab. I guess if your happy darryldale that's all that matters however I feel strongly about non-destructive upgrades in classic games meaning all one would have to do is plug it in and then unplug it if they don't want to use it. I wish it would stay on the game you select until you exit. Like yaggy said, one of the things that bugged me the most (more than the not-perfect games, even) is when you select a game of, say, Galaga from the menu, you start the game and you have some fun with Galaga, but then when you're done it does not stay on the Galaga attract screen to see if you want to play another round of Galaga, it goes back to the menu and you have to re-select Galaga. There's a DIP setting where you can turn off that annoying menu music. They're not aimed at the types of people who'd frequent this forum, but they do have their place and if they help keep interest in 80s classics alive, I think they're a good thing (even if, ironically, a lot of them displace an 80s classic when they get put into an older cabinet). As long as you don't expect perfection, they're OK, but yeah it's a bit of a letdown for those of us who are looking at the details. I bought a 60-in-1 board just so I have something to throw in an empty jamma cabinet. Well at least I thought so.įor my kids who did not grow up with these classic games totally loved it and could not understand why if I can have 60 games I choose to only have one.

Should be illegal?įor those who remember classic games from the arcade the 60-in-1 will be a big fat disappointment. Now more than ever I feel pain as I witness classic game after game butchered with LCD monitors and rewired into these hyped up 60-in-ones for $1,800 - $2,500 on Craigslist. I ended up un-installing 2 hours later and found myself much happier with what belongs in a Ms. For me I find it rather frustrating although I did think Galaga was ok, but just ok. It is a cool thing to get to play all the different games on one machine and to the people who don't know the difference like my kids it's great. So maybe I'm being a bit too critical but nah maybe not.

It's like a twilight zone of the real games. Well maybe it was just Frogger so then I go through and play game after game and find that it wasn't just Frogger and start to realize that the 60-in-one kinda sucks. No biggie, the first game I choose to play is Frogger. When the game reboots I'm greeted with a clunky navigation screen playing some very annoying music. Now with excitement I can't wait to play some real classics. From there I do a little configuring and then power the game off and on again. I turn the game on and boot to some setup screens. Took all of 5 minutes as I plugged the additional power supply into the wall and opted not to tap into the marquee light wires. After 2 long weeks it came in the mail today and I quickly installed it.

In the mean time I purchase a non-destructive 60-in-1 upgrade kit from. Now hooked I search on Craigslist for my next game project. Pac-Man that I restored to practically brand new with original parts minus some pink T-Molding. Ok so I buy my very first arcade game earlier this month, a Ms.
