Goddamnit, now you guys have me thinking about year. To be honest, they’d be pretty damn cool even with no modding. The original controls would make a sweet basement arcade with 1 or 2 pinball tables. Of course, you could buy all of these for the price of a decent pinball table...
I think mame cabinets are cool, but one drawback is sometimes having like 10,000 games is actually not a benefit and you’d be better suited to have like 100 decent arcade games.
