Wow, I haven't seen an arcade cabinet since about 20 years ago. This cabinet has 6,000 games? I don't think I even played 1,000 during my childhood.
ReplyDeleteMost of the games are pretty obscure, but yeah I don't think I can name 50 off the top of my head haha. There's also some redundant games, for example Mortal Kombat is included a few times because of the various ports it had. I'm pretty sure that goes for most of the popular games on there!
DeleteVery impressive! I'm still shocked of the amount of games it holds.
ReplyDeleteImpressive!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I can't imagine how 6000 games could fit in there. That's so cool
