?
If I had saved the money I spent playing Asteroids and Tempest, and had invested it wisely, I would be able to buy another house. In those days, a quarter was really worth something.
But really, I would rather have one old time pinball machine like Terminator than all the newer games put together.
I do have a big collection of Sega CDs which was a short lived thing. Are they worth big $$ now?

The Top Gun game alone devoured hours of my time. I only ever beat it once. So many bogeys. Then you have to drop the bombs and place them accurately.
Was pretty adept at the golf however.

also I check back at xArcade and the button set up is $69.99 + $9.99s/h http://www.xgaming.com/store/arcade-parts-and-accessories/product/two-player-build-your-own-arcade-bundle-pcb/
My friend and I would play Terminator at lunch. He would actually lift the entire table and rest the rear? feet on his shoes. I think between his toes although this dude was a little hardcore. Anyway, it made the angle a little less and his theory made that a little better.
Payback Time on that game is awesome.
