Just finsihed playing a few rounds. That's one that holds up even after all these years.

If you've got an old XBox laying around now that you've got the 360, I can show you a pretty easy way of setting it up to play all the old arcade and console games. Doesn't even require a mod chip and a few other GFYers can vouch it works

My 360 is only getting played at the moment because it's back at my girl's house and her kid is all over it. My XBox keeps me more than occupied.

**Booger** · 01-09-2006, 10:17 AM

ya mean to tell me im the only one who still plays DIG DUG?

**Manowar** · 01-09-2006, 10:17 AM

those games rocked hard

**RayBonga** · 01-09-2006, 10:19 AM

This thread is useless even with pics.

kidding

**polle45** · 01-09-2006, 10:23 AM

Is Bubble Bubble out on one a theese new "plug in to your tv"-joysticks ??

**FelixFlow** · 01-09-2006, 10:34 AM

the "plug into your TV" joystick things kind of suck, cause when you move the joystick the base unit moves too...so, sometimes the joystick doesnt move but just titls over the base to the side

the only way to go, is to get a standup arcade unit

**LiveDose** · 01-09-2006, 10:57 AM

So many quarters dropped into those machines... fun.

Fuck that. All you need is an $80 used XBox.

**Wiggles** · 01-09-2006, 11:34 AM

fuck i love those old games, wish i had some.

**Evil Chris** · 01-09-2006, 11:45 AM

I played a lot of Missile Command, Defender, Stargate, and Crazy Climber.

**PaulB IYP** · 01-09-2006, 12:03 PM

galaga is the greatest
i was just playing it last night

**sickkittens** · 01-09-2006, 12:05 PM

I played Donkey Kong recently @ Dave and Busters. It's amazing how we thought that was so great (graphically) back in the day.

**xNetworx** · 01-09-2006, 12:08 PM

My favorite

**gornyhuy** · 01-09-2006, 12:09 PM

YOu nailed most of my favorites!

**woj** · 01-09-2006, 01:07 PM

**Scott McD** · 01-09-2006, 01:55 PM

Cool games.

My fave retro games are still the ones that were on the Sega Genesis...

**flashfire** · 01-09-2006, 01:57 PM

I loved that game

**Mr Pheer** · 01-09-2006, 01:59 PM

That's my all time favorite arcade game. Another great game is call APB.

Modded XBox + Emulators = Gaming Nirvana

**sweetME** · 01-09-2006, 02:01 PM

Unfortunately, I don't remember those games. In 1980 I was only 2. They look so simple and uninteresting though.

MrPheer - i've been meaning to get my ass in gear to build a MAME upright like that... any advice? plans? pics of the finished system?

What controller did you wind up going with? home grown or xarcade or slikstik????

I was born in 80 and remember all those games...didnt you hang out at arcades?

mame cabinet looks so cool, I want one!

**mouse** · 01-09-2006, 02:18 PM

mr pheer ive got plans on making one of those myself ;]

**bhutocracy** · 01-09-2006, 02:25 PM

Galaga 88 is possibly one of the best games ever. I very nearly got a refurbished coffeetable version a few years ago.

get fucked, if you were born in the 70's and don't remember those games you don't get to have an opinion on whether they were interesting or not.

**blazi** · 01-09-2006, 02:29 PM

I was born in the 70's and can remember all of those games like it was yesterday hehe

**KRL** · 01-09-2006, 02:30 PM

As simplistic as they were, even today they are still fun to play.

**je_rome** · 01-09-2006, 02:42 PM

I used to play those games in my Game & Watch

**candyflip** · 01-09-2006, 02:44 PM

I have access to a CNC router and plenty of materials.

Where can I find plans for a MAME cabinet?

**FelixFlow** · 01-09-2006, 03:48 PM

Do you have some pics of the finished version, that you can post??
