Is 250 dollars a fair price for arcade game?

If you can load that with mame sure

>>715454968
I wish i could kill you on behalf of Nintendo.

>>715454872 (OP)
If you can use it to earn money - yeah.
I it doesn't have a coin slot and it's just a low quality emulated reproduction - hell no!

>>715455503
Nobody is dropping quarter into it to play games anymore. You're thinking about this all wrong.

>>715454968
I know all the arcade1ups are, not sure about OPs.

Sure, for an arcade machine. For a faggy little tabletop like that? I wouldn't pay 20 bucks.

>>715455364
*decapitates u*
try doing that now, idiot

>>715455954
No manufacturer would sell you a full size cabinet for under $800 unless it's a low end TEMU piece of shit. LMAO!

>>715454872 (OP)
I'm not the target audience but it seems silly to me. 8 inch screen but too bulky to be portable. You could get the arcase controls separately if that's what you wanted, and play on a better TV/monitor.

>>715456649
No way, my wife wants to watch Sherlock.

>>715456649
Usually the point is to set them on a kitchen table or something and play them. Idk how many people actually do that though, the stand up replicas seem to be more popular.

>Is 250 dollars a fair price for arcade game?
For a genuine arcade board that could be a reasonable price or even damn cheap. For a full cab complete with a game, thatd be an insane deal in working condition.

But you posted a plug in play emulstion device. Its a toy, and will lose most of its value fast. Theyre nigh impossible to re - sell when you inevitably either A, get tired of the novelty of "having" an arcade game or B, begin to feel like this little piece of shit bar top isnt a real arcade game because it isnt, its a toy, and youll want to replace it with a real cabinet.

Take my advice: do not buy. Either emulate, buy a console port, or get an empty dynamo or candy cab to stick the original game board into, if you go this route you will have to know your shit though.

>>715456972
Some of the cartridges have insane resell value.

>>715454872 (OP)
Is that officially Capcom licenced games sold at a premium?
>"cums in pants"
AAAAARGH!

I would pay $250 for an arcade cabinet if I could fuck it, if the cabinet is unfuckable I shant be paying.

>Can't link 2 units together for co-op. Solution is to connect a controller in a usb port.
I guess this is something. A hard pass for me.

>>715460664
I'm calling you out. Name your hottest arcade cabinets, and with your favorite fucking positions.

>>715460664
best I can do is to include a cuck chair in the price

>>715460859
I should have specified, I have never personally had sexual relations with an arcade cabinet, but I have seen many artistic renditions of fuckable arcade cabinets which have piqued my interest and ignited an admittedly strange and persistent fetish for me. I am a technophile in a sense.

>>715460726
No shot they're going to make a patch to make that available for every game.

>>715460859
The SEXIEST, no holds barred arcade cabinet is the original 1985 Sega Hang On cabinet.

>>715462906
put a fleshlight on it

>>715454872 (OP)
things that you will use once and never touch again.

no, it's not worth it

>>715456192
Just buy a secondhand cabinet and jam it with MAME machine

>>715454872 (OP)
You can get an "arcade controller" of comparable quality and size for 40 bucks shipped. I bet you already own a PC or a tablet.
wa la

>>715463112
sorry, I only consume officially licensed products

>>715463447
There's no faggot cred owning these. I want a tiny mancave! A MANCAVE!

>>715463657
>no faggot cred
The ball on the end of the stick can be unscrewed and replaced.

>>715454872 (OP)
I would pay 250 if it: >>715454968
mame, and if it had a CRT in it. CRT's are notoriously annoying to get in decent quality, and while it's cool to play some games on my 4k screen, some games really hit different on that classic CRT. Linus did a video on it a while ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_-9Rw5CJNE

>>715464510
>I'd buy if you can give me something for cheaper than what China can produce right now

Best bang for you buck is the neogeo mvsx cabinet.

>contains almost the entire neogeo library and can be modded with more
>you can take the top off and play it tabletop
>really good built in crt filters

>>715465035
>crt filter
don't these have actual crt screens?

>>715465001
Do.. do you think new CRTs are cheap right now?

>>715465434
That's my point? You're not getting anything decent for cheap unless the seller is clueless.

>>715465325
No, lcd I think. They were $450 at launch but you can get them used for $200 in some places.

>>715466386
Oh these are reproductions. I thought it was the actual thing from the 90s.

>>715466386
>>715465035
Without CRT buying a cabinet is the most fucking pointless shit. If you're already a PC gamer, and you're not springing for a CRT cabinet, the best move is to just buy an arcade stick and call it a day. CRT is the most important aspect of the arcade cabinet. You can replace original hardware with an emulator no problem, but you can't replicate CRT feel with a filter. It's just not the same. CRT is the key.

>>715466847
I just want a prop for my living room.

>>715466847
Some people just want the experience of playing an arcade machine without paying over 2k on a real one.

Why did arcades die the moment that 3D graphics were starting to hit their stride? When I was a kid, there was a local convince store near me that had the Out Run upright cab. There was also an arcade in my vicinity that had the deluxe moving OutRun cab.

What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you poor?

PS2 looked as good as the shit in the Arcade.

>>715468112
>Why did arcades die the moment that 3D graphics were starting to hit their stride?

If anything they were losing their popularity since at least the early 90s so before 3D graphics were decent, when the PS1 and Saturn came out people saw that they could play games like Tekken, Ridge Racer or Virtua Fighter at home with only a slight downgrade in graphics, many people played in arcades because home consoles couldn't compete with arcade hardware in terms of performance but those new 3D capable consoles things changed, this only accelerated their decline.
When the Dreamcast became the first actual console capable of having perfect ports of modern arcade titles there was no point in spending money in arcades aside from the novelty factor and the few notable exclusives that it had.

perfectly cuck sized

jesus christ, 1ups are like 3 times that for half the price.

I'm still not sure how to feel about this.

>>715471095

not anymore they aren't

Just go to any third world country and bring 1 back home

>just go get a shitty one from a shithole on the other side of the globe
lol no

>>715454872 (OP)
Couldn't they at least make it one of those half size counter top deals? Why does it have to be an 8" screen?

>>715466847
You don't need an arcade cabinet to play on a crt.

>>715472079
I mean you can probably pay for underage SEA pussy while you're at it

>>715471721
rip

>>715454872 (OP)
For a real arcade, yeah. For this garbage, no. I can't believe people actually buy this trash.

>>715463448
These unironically have absolutely great buttons and sticks.

>>715472956
I only buy officially licensed products.

>>715473149
Well buy an officially licensed collection for your PC then.

>>715465035
Yep this thing is great, and super easy to mod with usb right on back of cab
Only one worth buying

>>715473230
>buying digital

gamers are getting jewed harder than musicians at this point

>>715474538
that's how capitalism works

>>715474308
Then get it on PS2

so what is the best dance pad for heavy gamers?
asking for a friend

>>715470772
It's a neat novelty product but I would never buy one that only has a 1P control deck.

>>715454872 (OP)
>$250
>Less than a foot tall
>8" screen
Just get a raspberry pi, fightstick hardware, plywood, and screen and make an actual arcade cabinet with any games you want instead of buying this consumer slop

>>715477997
Nah, I don't pirate games from professional devs. Only games made by small indie devs on PC.
