    $3500. Not terrible. Was honestly expecting $5K or more.

    This is my upcoming birthday/opening the new hospital/surviving Donald Trump as President present, and I'd been keeping one in the back of my mind for a while, so I went for it.

      $3.5K? Dang.....might have to look into that in the future. Played one of those mega-games at a brewery this past winter, and it was all the awesome. It had dam near EVERYTHING. If I was a complete a-hole, I'd have hogged the thing for the entire time.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        Yup. This is loaded. Everything from Pong all the way to modern-ish arcade games. Old console games too - a few ROMs were missing, but the guy knows where to get them.

          Yep, I was specifically looking for Tempest, Elevator Action, and Galaga (the last is common, of course). Had them all. Jungle Hunt, Arkanoid, as well as the newer classics like Mortal Kombat and all the Street Fighters.

              Only thing it's missing is a light gun (the guy said they suck, he's tried to install them before and they fail and then everyone blames him for it.) It has the light gun games (House of the Dead, etc.) though.

                  The add-ons have always been tricky. The only "light gun" game I was into was Police Enforcers (correct name?). That game was fun. Basically a police training video game. Other than that? Meh. My philosophy was the less buttons, the better (including those combo button games like MK).

                    Makes sense. Probably needs the oomph that a PC can give versus a Pi.

                    What a sweet rig. You did done good!

                      Yeah, pretty much drooling right now.

                        Lethal Enforcers. Farking every place had one of those.

                        There was also a police training game called Police Trainer. Had all kinds of weird games where you shot targets.

                          Lethal Enforcers was the one. Similar to Police Trainer with the targets, kinda, though.

                              switch is a region free console. So its the same everywhere.

                              Id just be wary of the plugs for charging. I dont know if thats different.

                                Yes plugs are. Kinda why I want to buy here so there isn’t a hassle with adapter or converters
                                Figure by the time we leave there will be a new thing that’s better and he wants to upgrade
