When we went to Florida a couple of years ago the Villa had an Arcade machine in it with about 60 games on, my lad thought they were s**t, but i had major nostalgia moments, well for about 30 mins, then it became a bit boring.

Did you read the op?

They're playable 1/4 size replicas of the original machines.

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol, I didn't.

I had a mame cocktail, tbh the novelty wears off quickly, I bought these more for display, and because they were a bargain and I reckon they'll go up in value once they go out of stock everywhere.

Look nice in the dark, ordered a pacman today too, reduced from £150 to £100 at Game. Also have a Space Invaders on pre order, kind of my grail machine being the first one I played on, and I love the design, like a work of art. They've even managed to mirror the screen so it looks like they're floating like the original.

Any links mate?

Those 3 in the op I snagged from marketplace. Just gone to Game for the Pacman and they're out of stock now

This popped up on marketplace this morning, just up the road in Halesowen, and cheap at £70. So I have 4 now

Had great fun in NQ64 in Manchester. Bought back some memories! Played on Golden Axe for ages. Personally would love Bubble Bobble or Gauntlet.

The guy I bought 3 of these off had Bubble Bobble but he'd already sold it when I spotted these

Would like a Rampage! or Xybots one myself.

Thread bump, I never did get the space invaders as they kept cancelling pre orders and putting the price up, it ended up at, and still is, £249.99. But.. sports direct are doing them half price at £125, still full price everywhere else, so I have one on the way. They have a few others at way cheaper than anywhere else.

How often do you play them?

 

[Rich..]

How often do you play them?

Played them a few times when I first got them, I only have one left now (DigDug), as no one seems to want that one, I doubled my money on the ones I sold. Space invaders I'm planning on keeping, mainly for display, I've always wanted a full size one but it's having the room, plus they've gone a bit silly in value now.

 

[Rich..]

If i ever won the lottery I'd have a room full of original arcade games.

Can anyone remember a coin op rally game that wasn’t Sega Rally? I remember it having a few group b cars on it and racing through some small Italian towns.
