1418's Fundraising Arcade Machine (Game Suggestions)

Pole Position, classic racing game

Dig Dug is awesome, theres a website out there that has the top 100 arcade games of all time, you could probably find it and get like the top 15 or something.

Ummm.... I don't think you can use that. In fact a lot of the games the games that you guys think are abandoned aren't. They have either been put into compilation form for the game boy advance or they are coming out with a television version of them. Dig Dug and Pole Position I know have been resseurected.

We aren't emulating ANYTHING. We're using generic linux ports of all these games.

i take my previous comment about abandonware back....
can you get around it by making it for personal use and to use it you have to join a club for a fee or something?

Oh, man DDR is sooo awesome. Just the profit from that alone would be enough. (too bad the machine costs about $2000)

Why dont you put the FIRST video game on there when it is done?

Ahhh... I get it. Your using cheap knockoff's of the game.

Cheap is always a good thing, unless you are building a robot.

Perhaps another alternative is to make your own cheap flash knock-off, which (at least to my rather limited knowlege) would place the copyright into your hands.

Can't get cheaper then GPL!

When you add up the control pieces from Happ, plus the cost of the computer, plus a TV or monitor, plus either the wood to construct the cabinet or the cost of an old cabinet for retrofitting, plus a whole bunch of "miscellaneous" expenses that will pop up, it gets to be a little much. I didn't add up exactly what I spent (I really didn't want to know...), but most other projects who did add it up claim about $600 minimum, more commonly $1000 and up.

We've spent $93 dollars so far, which means 372 games of PacMan before we break even. If Home Depot donates the cabinet building material, that's all we'll need to spend, if they don't we're looking at roughly 744 games of PacMan before we break even. Assuming 10 games a day are played (which is a conservative estimate for a $0.25 game) that means we'll break even before kickoff.

Arkanoid was the first game I thought of. Although, I was a big fan of Spy Hunter. I always get that stupid song in my head though.

I get a lot of video game songs stuck in my head.

By the way, why not just add DDR to the list.
