Title: Have you ever owned/known someone who has owned an arcade machine?
Post by: Tupin on June 19, 2008, 06:57:31 PM
I don't own one, but I know a few people who own pinball machines and replica slot machines. I own the latter because my relatives didn't want it anymore. It has a Pink Panther theme and everything is in Japanese.

I've seen machines being sold for like $200 on Craigslist. I would buy that, but I would have have precious little space to put it.  :(

What I really want is either Mario Kart GP 2 or F-Zero AX, which sell in the range of $15000-$20000 dollars.  :D

Could you imagine having one of these things in your room?

(http://f-zero.jp/f-zero_ax/game/images/m_cabinet_dx.jpg)

Of course, there's the less expensive one, but it has less machines:

What's cool about both is that you can transfer data to and from a GCN memory card.

Also, I checked the price of Mario Kart Arcade GP 2.

It's only $18,575!  :O

That's cool, the machine even has the old Comedy Central logo.

Plus, it has Mr. Hankey, which makes it awesome. They really should bring him back.

The French dub of Mr. Hankey is absolutely hilarious.  :P

F-Zero AX is super rare, only like 14 units still exist. FOURTEEN UNITS IN ALL OF NORTH AMERICA. I mean jeez, can't people maintain these machines? The game only came out five years ago. :|

Which sucks, because there was an entire cup that you unlocked by bringing your memory card to the arcade machine. Sure, you can unlock it by using an Action Replay, but it would be cool to have AX data on your memory card.

Yeah, I reacted similarly when we got an air hockey table.

It was a small one, not like the ones in arcades. It also could be a Foosball table or a ping-pong table.

Yes, that is a real pinball machine.

You really own that?


Yeah, I bought it from this pizza shop up the street from my house. The guy who owned it was closing, so I aked if he would sell it to me, 50 bucks  ;D
That's cool, the machine even has the old Comedy Central logo.

Plus, it has Mr. Hankey, which makes it awesome. They really should bring him back.
I never get tired of Mr. Hankey. HOOOOWDY HO!
HEIDI HO, BOYS AND GIRLS  :D

The French dub of Mr. Hankey is absolutely hilarious.  :P

F-Zero AX is super rare, only like 14 units still exist. FOURTEEN UNITS IN ALL OF NORTH AMERICA. I mean jeez, can't people maintain these machines? The game only came out five years ago. :|

Which sucks, because there was an entire cup that you unlocked by bringing your memory card to the arcade machine. Sure, you can unlock it by using an Action Replay, but it would be cool to have AX data on your memory card.

Do you know where they are?

I wonder if there's one around here.
http://smashboards.com/fzero/locations.php
My state has one.

Although I have absolutely no idea where the hell it is.
My state has none, but I go to Vegas every few years, and they have two.  :)
California has none... but Arizona has 3 :)

I wonder where they are? Mabe my grandparents have one :D

We have a Dave and Buster's near us with Virtua Tennis 3 and Time Crisis 4, along with a Mario Kart Arcade GP 2.

An arcade version of Street Fighter IV will probably never even get an American release.

It's always hard to maintain those machines that have special features like a moving cabinet, air jets, and cameras/sensors. Even games that use magnetic cards to save player data require maintenance.

I guess it must be a pain to get a tub of oil and lubricate every part on the machine every week.

Does South Park Pinball count?
If it's like a standup full size game, yes.
http://www.flippers.be/images/crappy/south_park.jpg
Yes, that is a real pinball machine.

You really own that?


Yeah, I bought it from this pizza shop up the street from my house. The guy who owned it was closing, so I aked if he would sell it to me, 50 bucks  ;D
That's cool, the machine even has the old Comedy Central logo.

Plus, it has Mr. Hankey, which makes it awesome. They really should bring him back.
I never get tired of Mr. Hankey. HOOOOWDY HO!
HEIDI HO, BOYS AND GIRLS  :D

The French dub of Mr. Hankey is absolutely hilarious.  :P

F-Zero AX is super rare, only like 14 units still exist. FOURTEEN UNITS IN ALL OF NORTH AMERICA. I mean jeez, can't people maintain these machines? The game only came out five years ago. :|

Which sucks, because there was an entire cup that you unlocked by bringing your memory card to the arcade machine. Sure, you can unlock it by using an Action Replay, but it would be cool to have AX data on your memory card.

Do you know where they are?

I wonder if there's one around here.
http://smashboards.com/fzero/locations.php
My state has one.

Although I have absolutely no idea where the hell it is.
Missouri (0)
Kansas (0)
Nebraska (0)
None of the states even remotely near me have one. :(
Do you honestly expect the Midwest to be on the cutting edge of anything gaming related?

I would know.
Not really...>_>
But still, I can at least hope. D:

I mean, when was the last time a gaming expo came to the Midwest?
(Just so you know, all you event planners, Wisconsin is not widely considered to be the Midwest. Neither is Minnesota.)

Darn, it costs $2000 dollars to go to Vegas from Missouri.  :(

I remember when we went there three years ago it cost $600.

I guess it was just a promotional thing for F-Zero GX.

I'm guessing what they did was that they rented them to arcades and then when the new F-Zero wasn't the new thing anymore, they gave them an option on whether they could buy it or return it to them. Most arcades could afford the price of it, but not the maintenance.

There's probably a whole bunch of them sitting in Sega's Arcade Headquarters.

Really Nintendo. You had the help of Sega AND Namco to make the cabinets. I understand it's a very complex machine, but if you couldn't make enough Deluxe ones, why not just make more normal ones?

The Deluxe version had to take at least a month to build, and the normal version takes about a week, because it lacks the hydraulics.

Ever thought of making maybe 25-30 Deluxe versions and 70 normal ones, Nintendo?

Well, when you do, make a thread about it.

Just call them and act interested in buying one. Then ask about the price, act shocked, then hang up.

Rich people. I would know, I've to a few, "classy" houses.

One family had a basement fulla' arcade cabinets, a pool table, and Pinball Machines. F-Zero AX would fit riiiiiiiight in.

I'm guessing for them, $9,500 is pocket change?

There also is a few sites that sell the Deluxe version, but I'm guessing it's so expensive that you have to contact the company to get info on it.

Did they have any racing games?

I want to know who has the space for a big cabinet like that.
Rich people. I would know, I've to a few, "classy" houses.

One family had a basement fulla' arcade cabinets, a pool table, and Pinball Machines. F-Zero AX would fit riiiiiiiight in.
I'm guessing for them, $9,500 is pocket change?

There also is a few sites that sell the Deluxe version, but I'm guessing it's so expensive that you have to contact the company to get info on it.

Did they have any racing games?
Not that I can remember.

They had a few pinball games, Galaga, Centipede, some other cabinet, a two player pacman table game, a pooltable, and one of those arcade basketball machines.

**Note: The father is a lawyer, so 9,500 bucks is prolly his weekly paycheck, if not more.

So many other sites are selling F-Zero AX...

I'm guessing there are a few that are in private collections.

That's cool.

Yeah, we would never spend $9,500 on that.
