[QUOTE="trash80, post: 285574, member: 7578"] I love emulations, but it ain't the same. I've purchased every single console ever released along with most games and have had them all set up on a switching system and racked up in a custom enclosure. But like I eluded to elsewhere, I didn't really miss anything... and other than being able to say "Hey look." They really are not something I'll actually play, and I kind of find myself in the same predicament with pinball, though the video cabinet solutions are getting very close to making me want to finally replace some of my temperamental pins, there is still a convincing argument for real deal. The good old days... While we weren't poor, my parents didn't just gift us with rolls of quarters for the arcade. The arcade I frequented (The Gold Mine complete with mine-like entrance) was about 50/50 pins and video games in 1980 or so and I found myself gravitating to the EM tables that had 5 ball per play instead of the 3 per quarter. Funny thing is, some of those EM tables were hard as nails compared to the early SS machines. Oh well. Now the worst arcade decision I did ever make was after watching this one huge pinball machine for a few weeks. I realized it was a waste of my allowance, but that $1.00 (yes, one freakin' dollar) was burning a hole in my pocket and just had to experience Hercules first hand. Well... You know how it went. I hate that table. [/QUOTE]
