Haha, yeah I heard about that.
Yeah I just saved up an arcade fund and then went looking this last summer. I was pretty lucky and the cab I got really wasn't all that expensive. At least not as much as some. Though it might be a bit harder to get a hold of a cheaper arcade cab overseas I'm sure. Haha, yeah I played my Gauntlet cab for about that long, but then kind of petered out after a while. I just probably need to get some people over here to play it with me, solo on a game like that is kind of repetitive.
I know what you mean man, I have too many games to play in a lifetime. Though currently I've actually been focusing on playing Fallout:New Vegas as of late.
