there are a couple light-gun shooters for sale that I know of, not sure how much. I'll look into it, but I might get them myself.

Why not make a MAME?

You could probably get cheap on on Ebay for around $300....but then there is shipping if your not willing to pick it up.

Also, this post has been edited to include the item in the subject.

yah i looked into ebay and all they got is prices in US $ and that is pissing me off plus I have to get it shipped and it all seems to be over priced..

so if for some reasion you hear of something cheep or some with worth the money let me know.. I found a 4 persion NBA JAM game on e bay but it was like $400 US and I dot got that kind of money..

I doubt you'll find much for cheaper than that, but I'll keep an eye open for yah.

If you're looking for cheap, MAME can be done on quite a small budget. It just takes more work, that's all.

Quit pimping your virtual pinball Jew, we can all play pinball on our computers at home if we want too. He wants a real pinball table and I can see why, emmulation is just not the same as the real thing.

Yeah, but you don't need to just make it an emulator. A small T.V. with actualy arcade controls makes it an actual arcade "whatever you want." He doesn't just want a pinball machine, guy. Read his post again. He also wants a full size arcade game. Now, he could buy all of the arcade games or just put all of them on one MAME. You do the math.

He still wants an actual arcade stand up. I emulate almost every old console, but I still want the actual system and games.

Yes, they have actual arcade controls (ie. joystick, buttons) that plug into a computer. You can't tell the difference. They have a convertor that allows them to all plug into 1 USB port. I used to have a 9 step guide on how to do it, but my Mom threw out the magazines.

EDIT:

Here's a basic guide:

I think this is all verging on being off topic.

When are we ever on topic?

But the link is there so I'll drop it.

I will make a few inquiries, I know a few people who might be able to get it for you. What is your FIRM price range? Just in case I find one. Also, i can agree with IronFist, no emulation can replace Real Pinball, its not the controls, it the ball and the jumpers, the real challenge!
