  1. Re:Oh, bloody please by Man+In+Black · · Score: 1 · on The Maturation of Video Games

    Lightgun games. Yeah, the PC has keyboard and mouse. Wake me up when I can plug a lighgun in and play a House Of The Dead or Time Crisis game the way it was meant to be played.

    There are USB light guns out there to be had. I've never tried any of them myself, but this comparison might be interesting to you. It seems that these light guns are made primarily (completely?) with MAME in mind, so I have no idea how useful they are outside of emulators.. but once House of the Dead and Time Crisis are playable in MAME, you're set.

    Kevin Steele did a review comparing x-arcade, hotrod, slick stick (custom mondo arcade control panel), and one other...

    retroblast has the review (even has a video review with some cheeky production value) =)

  6. Re:Instead of buying the x-arcade cabinet by eidolons · · Score: 1 · on Play Classic Video Games In NY, At Home
    Or instead of buying the x-arcade cabinet, which doesn't look that authentic, buy a Slikstik Arcade cabinet with control panel for $1500, then go over to Wells Gardner and pick up a D9200 which happens to fit perfectly into it.

    Go to Retroblast.com and see how gorgeous this combination looks. It's the stuff of dreams, ladies and gentlemen.

  7. Re:Why not... by Wavicle · · Score: 1 · on Will Classic Games Disappear Forever?

    Use MAME and you can build your own control panel, and choose a spinner that best suits your needs.

    You don't have to own an entire cabinet to get something nearly identical to the original... Or if you're industrious, be like thousands of others and have one cabinet, but put a PC in there running MAME... Now you have an entire arcade in one nice package.
