The prospect of ClubNinja and the good folks here working on an arcade rarity list gave me a neat idea. As Digital Press appears to be nearing a time when all games created will have their place here, it seems we should bring back one of the standbys - the "How many of X do you own?" question. Thus, the question:
How many of the Roundtablers own arcade cabinets? Pinballs too!
Let's see if we can try to come up with a grand total of arcade games we own. If possible, please give us the name of the game, as well. I see no reason why we shouldn't count known working loose PCBs or "currently being repaired" systems - if it can play a game then it should count (use your own discretion). However, please limit yourself to listing machines which require some form of payment (money, token, credit card, wooden nickel...) and do not count free demonstration units or empty cabinets. Systems and cabinets which take interchangeable cartridges are not counted in the totals, but are listed. I try to count cartridges/game boards as seperate games - i.e. if you've got an MVS cart, that's one game, but an MVS is zero games (it's not much good without a game, no?) and if you've modified a cabinet to hold two games, I'll list both games. Of course feel free to argue about this definition or correct me!
To make things easy on me, please look at the format I've set up and try to follow that (I'll fix it otherwise, though), and if you want to add new games please include them in a new post. I can't follow edits!
There will be "awards," or special recognition to those who have distinguished themselves somehow or other, and I'll have to see about making some sort of badge for those who've contributed to use at the end of all this.
Are we some BAD ENOUGH DUDES/DUDETTES? Let's see how this organization fares! Zap your capacitors and grease those coin doors...this here's the real thing.
