It happens in Florida and Louisiana too. The Southern USA is not good for cabs. Anywhere with High humidity is bad.

I've seen some arcade videos where buyers go to a location to check out some rare arcade cabinets sitting in a barn, storage warehouse, or some old building. They get there only to find the cabinets in terrible condition. Either they have mold, rot, or are completely falling apart. The best they can do is maybe get a few usable parts off the rusty or moldy machine that could still work.

Really sad to see old machines in such a state.

Also it was one of the last arcade hits before arcades largely died out

So here we are. Thank you for your time.

I am inclined to agree with you, but there is one core distinction: Games are not made for single person, and so we can't expect for a challenge to cater to our individual weaknesses. If you choose to take the easy route, you are only pleasing those fuckers at galoobjob postmortem.

I am inclined to agree with you regarding when challenge is fair. Despite that, challenge is hardly fair. If you have a healthy appreciation for challenge, you can find what made that challenge worthwhile. When you can look past the game's challenges and into the mind of the people that made them, you are offered an opportunity to see things in the same way as another from a past time.

That is soul. That is why I play retro. That is why I care about retro.
I am inclined to thank you for reminding me.

Any of you beautiful angels ever built or bought an arcade machine?

Considering building my own with Raspberry Arcade but i'm wondering if anyone has bought one and what they thought or built one.

Would be keen to get your thoughts, I'm also one for diversity so please by all means talk about your favorite arcade games and memories.

Cheers.
