    Let's put it another way. What's more impressive, for about the same price:



    "Wow, dude, what's that thing under your n64?"
    or, "Da fuck dude, you own an arcade?"

    Arcade machines average about $250 if you do your shopping, but you can get them sub-100 many times. Sherriff sales of bars are great for it, but selection sucks. If you want to pick your title, $400 is good for most games. Or spend the $1,000 and build your own mame cab.

    Much more impressive to most people than some stupid ass Flintstones cart.

    Bragging rights? How about getting something you will actually like and replay but thats also rare? Id take a Metal Slug 1 aes cart , a Panzer dragoon saga , over a cheetahman 2 any day. I cant imagine getting something rare and not being worth playing but thats just me.

    but but but, MORTAL KOMBAT!

    Great thing is, if it was local, buy a cheap arcade machine, see if the 64DD guy would take it as a trade. People do not grasp the cost of arcade machines, so they vary in price a lot.

    Richter it was a joke, notice the smiley? It's a dig at uptight collectors and sites who try and control others and their habits. And yes really some people do just buy the spendy stuff so they can show off they have it, or a complete set, it's about bragging and ownership.

    Hopefully, I can get an arcade myself. I know of a place that sells arcades from around $400-$700. But I also think my parents wouldn't allow a giant 350lb piece of wood in my room. lol

    Action 52 doesn't top out closer to 1K.

    I myself want a 64DD, but mostly because it'd look lovely following up on my Satellaview and FDS sets. I'd have a complete Triforce of Nintendo add-ons.

    (and yeah... much to my dismay, the Satellaview had more "killer app"-esque material than the 64DD does, unfortunately.)

    Ah, but do you own the Nintendo jigsaw puzzle?



    I've not tried it yet. Doubt it'll work, but never know. suspecting I remove the gamehunter everything will be ok.

    You should get a Super Game Boy Game Genie adapter and GB Game Genie (or have those increased in value since becoming somewhat known that they exist).
    It'll probably do something.

    But for some reason if you even attach a SNES Game Genie it will slow the SGB to a crawl. I can only imagine the other crap would make it worse.

    . I wouldn't count unlicensed things like those ROM Copier devices for my dreaded tower, but I am a sucker for the frankenesque combinations. I don't think any of Nintendo's systems have anything like the Sega CD32X Combo.
