Grandmother Buys Old Building In Japan And Finds 55 Classic Arcade Cabinets

An anonymous reader writes A grandmother agreed to purchase an old building in Chiba, which is just outside of Tokyo. When her family arrived to check out the contents of the building it was discovered that the first two floors used to be a game center in the 1980s. Whoever ran it left all the cabinets behind when it closed, and it is full of classic and now highly desirable games. In total there are 55 arcade cabinets, most of which are the upright Aero Cities cabinets, but it's the game boards that they contain that's the most exciting discovery. Boards include Donkey Kong, Street Fighter Alpha 2 (working despite the CPS2 lockout chip's tendency to kill old boards), and Metal Slug X.

Who said I had any love for Bush?

Ohh. If you do not like something Obama does you are crazy and love all Republicans.

Bush reacted to 911 with the Dept of Homeland Security, The Patriot Act and the TSA. All things I fault him for. I am not sure of an Embassy attack under Bush that took place where we had very little security even as the British and the Red Cross were pulling out due to the dangers "We never saw coming".

Petty people put all of their politics in small boxes labled "D" or "R". Mostly. I believe that the government is too big, has too much control and that both parties have an interest in keeping it that way.

You though can go on a slap labels on anyone that has a different opinion than you so that you can feel better about you decisions.
