I just found this:

Makes me wish I had that kind of money just lying around because a Williams Multicade would be so freaking awesome.

You are better off building a MAME machine. For the same price you would have 6000+ arcade games.

or less.

I am not a fan of MAME. I like having the actual hardware.

I think most of us would, but that's a lot more difficult to keep arond than a stack of NES games.

[SasoriSoren]

True but that is why a true Multicade would be good. This, a Sega Naomi and Neo Geo MVS would do everything I need.

There's quite a few games that I've been looking for on CL, but listings are almost nonexistent in my area. I'm also not willing to pay extreme prices for any of them.


Mega Man 1, 5, 6, 7, X2, and X3
River City Ransom
Double Dragon Advance
Battletoads / Double Dragon (SNES)
Super Double Dragon
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV
Final Fight Guy
Mario Kart 64
Mario Kart Double Dash
Zelda 1 & 2 (GBA "classic NES")
Metroid Zero Mission
Metroid Fusion
Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
Sonic 1 - 3
Sonic & Knuckles
Streets of Rage 1 - 3

Most of those titles just keep increasing in value so you're best to hold off until someone doesn't know what they have.

On the other hand, as time goes by the chance of finding a cheap copy keeps decreasing.

Lots of those titles you list can at least be played on cheaper compilation releases.

There is never anything good around me, I did score a $40 Light 6-er Atart 2600 with 31 games, 4 controllers, power cord, and a 25 game cart holer.

what about PGM, Atomiswave, CPS 2?
dont forget regular jamma boards too...

[wiggy]

Still, a lot more of a PITA than normal carts. 

[SasoriSoren]

True. Though I am saving to start up an arcade in Gresham, OR, which is the suburb of Portland I live in. So I will just have all of these eventually I would gather.

Next best thing?

not really, PGM and MVS are just bigger than 'normal' carts so its just a matter of room, atomiswave carts might fit in double euro-DS cases, dont know havent got any carts to try, anything else arcade, yes its a pain, but sometimes the best or only version of a game is the arcade one, and you know we like to punish ourselves with these huge collections, LOL!

[wiggy]

That's what I mean.  Finding a way to store em would be a pain
