Dang it. Costco had a Pac-Man Arcade cabinet that they were selling for $400, which is around $200 less than the Amazon price, and put it right on the edge of my, "Should I splurge?" line.
I've looked at it for months, but never pulled the trigger. Then a few days ago I was getting my windshield replaced, and my windshield guy had installed one in his waiting room. What a hoot! Pac-Man and five other classic games that sent me right back to going to the Golf 'N Stuff in High School. My windshield guy said that he had installed it because nobody ever watched the cable TV he had there, instead spending time on their phones. He says the Pac-Man console is in constant use. I could see why.
Yesterday I said "Darn it, I'm getting it now." Alas, all gone. It was there last week, but gone this week. My only hope is that most of the other toys and games were pulled as well and replaced by furniture and home goods, so maybe when Christmas season comes along (in August for Costco), when they bring the toys back, they'll bring the cabinet back. If they do, I'm getting it.
-
Yep, I'm in the same situation. I waited too long to grab one of the S&W Model 10's that Bud's had. $300 for a cosmetically challenged but functional Model 10.
Crap.
I guess we'll just to have both spend more time spoiling our dogs.

One thing I learned a long time ago with both Costco and Sam's is if you see something like that and you want it jump on it. You may never see it again.

Yeah, had that with a fridge. Went back and the floor model was gone. Asked around and amazingly they had only one in the back but had ceased to display the model.

Hopefully this'll help take some of the sting out of it.
https://www.mamedev.org/release.html Pretty much every ROM file for coin-op video games up to the mid 90's can be found online.
And if you're really motivated, $400 would go a long way to a cheap PC, monitor, and a DIY arcade case. They even sell stuff like trackballs, buttons, and arcade quality joysticks online. All interface with MAME over USB.
Feels like "free quarters" when you play.

Thanks. Not sure I'd have time to build an arcade case. Maybe if it snows a lot this Winter. :laugh:
Otherwise, I know I can be playing the games on my computer, but there was just something cool about playing them on the same arcade cabinets that I used as a kid.

You end up wanting to mess with emulators, I've got everything for NES, SNES, Genesis, Atari and the like of that gen for retro pi. Say the word and I'll mail a usb drive.
I like the form factor of the pi-cart, but you could just as easily build a cabinet. Mostly a choice of form factor.

If you wait till Christmas home arcade consoles come on the shelf at places like Walmart and Target for decent prices.

Ha! I guess it was just temporarily unavailable. I was at Costco today, and they had half a dozen boxes in the display, and a employee said more were in the back. I'm going back tomorrow with my truck to get one.

It appears to be regional. It's not on the Costco website, but my store had, as per an employee there, a good amount, at least on the 13th. At $360, it's way cheaper than the similar one on Amazon, at $550 (though Ms Pacman on Amazon is $360 :laugh: ).
Amazon does seem to have pretty much the same one, but as a countertop instead of full cabinet for I think $250.

I will have to ask my parents when they are heading to Costco next. They are members, not me.

Well, Pac-Man made it up the stairs and got unboxed and all the pieces are spread out on the floor ready for assembly. Maybe this coming weekend. :rofl:

I stoped by the similocal grocery store today. They had a commadoer 64 system for $50. I was tempted but running short on funds right now.

I often kick myself for disposing of my old Atari ST system many years ago. There were some great games for that.
-
Still have two working Atari 2600 systems with a bunch of games
-
I still have an Atari and original XBox. They got hit by a power surge and I've been too lazy to take them apart and see if I can repair them.
-
I still had my original Nintendo NES that I bought in... 1990?
It was just hanging out in the basement. Hadn't played it in years.
Saw a plea on Freecycle a couple of years ago -- lady in the next community had a younger autistic son who was addicted to "the Gray Box" and theirs got zapped.
I was happy to part with it.
-
Aaaand...... Two weeks later, complete! :rofl:
It has some extra and optional arcade strip lighting for the frame that I haven't installed yet. I'm trying to decide if I want to build another riser for the riser that came with it, or just get one of the branded arcade Pacman stools to go with it. The controls are just on the acceptable edge of comfortable when my 6'3" is standing, but I lose the top couple of inches of the screen, where the score is, unless I slightly bend. Standing as-is is workable, but I might just get the stool as it would probably also make the setup look cool. For anyone 6' or under, I think it would be just right for standing.
I have to give props to the company for decent assembly instructions. They were pictorial only except for a couple of warnings, but much easier to follow than the usual Chinese translated instructions. "Put part "X" with kindness into assembly 3 while upright with conviction of force, then tighten with forethought".
Having a blast so far! :laugh:

Yes, apparently there is a pretty big market of replacement parts and mods for these machines. I didn't check until you mentioned it. There are also a ton of different consoles. I thought these were more of a lark thing, but it looks like Arcade 1Up makes practically every game you ever played in the arcades in the 80s. It appears there is a collectors community and a lot of these guys dedicate entire rooms in their homes to arcade rooms to resemble commercial arcades.
Of note though, apparently a ton of the parts are currently unavailable due to covid supply chain issues. I'd better handle my joystick gently. =D
-
That looks great. You also have Dig Dug and Galaga. I am jealous. =)
Add in Asteroids, Pheonix, Defender, and maybe Donkey Kong. That would hit the high points of early '80's arcades for me.

I see there are mod kits running $75-$200 that let you replace the innards with a Raspberry Pi brain and swap the controller board to add more interface devices, and then you are playing all the games you can think of, plug and play. in the single cabinet.
For the people really into it though, I can see the desire to collect the cabinets as well to make a cool looking game room.
-

Ah crap.... I'm going to be spending some money...
-
Oh hell, according to Arcade 1 Up, you've got Rolling Thunder on that console...
AARGH! I WANT!
Wait... no, the one you have doesn't have RT. That's a similar, but different, console.

Yeah, they do a weird thing with versions of the consoles. They must have 20 different Pacman consoles that all have slightly different non-Pacman games. That is what makes those Raspberry Pi mods so desirable.
-
And they have a cabinet with Defender!
That opening sound sequence to Defender was the single most recognizable sequence of any video game I ever encountered. It would cut through the sound track for any other video game. There were times when you could literally hear it at the other end of the mall where the big arcade was when I was growing up.
-
I'm just talking out of my ass because it's new and I'm into it right now, but for a cool looking game room at a reasonable price, a guy could build himself a long, sturdy counter, then collect some of those countertop cabinets. The countertop cabinets seem to average in the low $200s, so you could buy 2-3 of those for every one full sized cabinet.
While it's way cheaper to do a CPU mod and get a "universal" controller plate with buttons and joysticks for all the games, having specific cabinets with matched controller plates all lined up would look cool in a man cave.
-
That's tempting, too.
But there's just something about standing in front of an upright cabinet just flushing quarters down the toilet that's so nostalgic... =D
I have a bunch of the classics arcade disks for Xbox. Not sure what all I have right now, but one disk has Elevator Action on it, which was one of my favorite games.
-

This is true. :laugh:
-
Now I'm sitting here at the office trying to figure out what games I'd put into a personal cabinet...
Gorf
Defender
Moon Patrol
Xevious
Gyruss
Qix
Q*bert
Battleground
Spyhunter
Star Castle
Rolling Thunder
Commando
Star Wars
Elevator Action
Time Pilot
Donkey Kong
Tempest
Bezerk
Robotron
Rampage
Zaxxon
There are others, but those are the big ones for me.
BMI Gaming makes a couple of multi-game machines, but I think they're actual arcade quality games, so I suspect they're pretty expensive units.

I agree with that. I sit at a computer too much already.
There are lots of games I enjoyed (1941), but there is something nostalgic about those early low graphics games. I think about how many hours I played Asteriods on our old Atari system. It was just lines and dots, but very well done.
-

For clarity, I meant that the countertop would be "stand up" height.
I agree on the nostalgia. I mean, we have these modern games that are practically immersive movies now, but I am getting more of a kick out of the 8-bit simplicity of playing Dig Dug. :laugh:

I don't mean to thread drift, but I recall playing X-wing in the 90's. At the time Wing Commander was out and everyone loved the immersive story and such. I didn't care about that at the time, I wanted the game play and X-wing had more of that.
-
"For clarity, I meant that the countertop would be "stand up" height."
Ah. OK.
Even better, one of those motorized desks that moves up and down. I don't think my standing height counter (I'm 5-9) would be the same as yours, Lerch. :rofl:

They got us the motorized desks at work a couple years ago. They are great. It is nice to be able to stand up for a bit at times during the day.
-
Was just looking at some of the parts and pieces that they have available. They have printed circuit boards that can be swapped out with the units to give you more games...
But... none of them. Absolutely none of them, are in stock. I'm wondering if it's COVID chip supply problems or if there's something else going on with the company.
-
Oh man... that BMI Gaming console has a BUNCH of the games that I want...
But it's also $3,000....
Nope.

Shoot. Now I have discovered these on Amazon, which would be a great fit on a motorized desk next to the arcade console, and way cheaper than buying another console:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099DQV7TR/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?pd_rd_i=B099DQV7TR&pd_rd_w=r3P5c&pf_rd_p=887084a2-5c34-4113-a4f8-b7947847c308&pd_rd_wg=MQneb&pf_rd_r=BCPNX9K8S3NWDDWP5NFG&pd_rd_r=4a3945e4-442c-44bf-924c-457d1d410908&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUE5OVM3VjJQVVVSS0QmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA2MTM4ODgyQ0xJWTJKVTFKVURDJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAzMzkxMzIyVDI3MlozVUJBWDZDJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1
I was thinking about just using an old mini-pc I have, putting DosBox on it, and just downloading the games I want, but I tried searching for the gaming keyboard that comes with these units and came up empty. For two hundred bucks though, just getting the whole shebang without any work involved wouldn't be bad.

Y’all should be seeing these game units hit Walmart and Target pretty soon for Christmas. Big Lots carried a Galactica one over the summer.

Holy sweet mother of crap, 8 THOUSAND games? :O

Apparently there are LOTS of dupes. It's supposed to have a game search function, but yeah, that's still a lot to go through, and I'm sure more than half of them are pieces of crap. On some of these units, you can't add or delete games, but this one lets you do both, so a couple of hours of your time could probably streamline things a bit. I think that's what I would do if I got this. Keep Joust, delete Joost. :laugh:
-
I would really like to get a dedicated Galaga machine sometime. Not sure if I would prefer a standup version or a cocktail table version.

Using your own monitor makes it interesting though. Some of those consoles looked like they had pretty small screens.

The Big Lots version was stand up and there may still be one or two in stock in your area if you have Big Lots. They were not unreasonable price either. The cabinet isn’t full scale to a true arcade machine (which is nice because those were kinda huge for a house) but it’s of a decent size.

I'm pretty sure they are all "3/4" size", which is what mine is listed as. As I mentioned above, it's doable, even at 6'3". Worst case, you use a stool with it, but I'm still standing when I use mine. I just have to duck down slightly to see the score. Everything else is easily visible. The cabinet does not at all seem like a midget cabinet in any way. Really, a full sized cabinet would almost feel too large in a house vs in the arcade.
