I have an original Super Pac-Man and an original Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga (Class of 81) with 25" CRT, both full size dedicated uprights. I even keep it on quarters. I bought Super Pac-Man 12 years ago for $999, it's now worth minimum $2500. I just bought Class of '81 for $1000 during COVID, he needed $, I can get $3k for it, but I'll never sell, I love my classics. If you're looking for a classic move fast, CRT's getting hard to find, collectors don't want LCD's.

XrisM is the BEST arcade machine builder in the world. He’s the guy that Shaq and Jay Z call when they want an arcade machine. No two machines are alike and there’s like a 2 year waiting list. The guy is an artist. He’s also invented a lot of the stuff arcade machine builders use today. He’s the Elvis of arcade machines builders. THE KING.

My MAME system is on an early 2000s 32 bit Windows Vista home PC (yes, I know it's junk but it was free and I managed to get it to work with my limited skills.) I have a SlikStik Classic 2 player arcade console with 2 eight way joysticks, 1 four way joystick, 1 tornado spinner and a large LED illuminated trackball with 24 buttons, projected onto 120" projector screen on my basement wall and a 250 watt sound system...

Hi. Thanks you for this video.
I'm looking into buying a baby pacman arcade game for my home. Considering all the points you listed, how much do you think it might cost in US dollars to buy? And would this specific game hold its value?
Thank you!

None of them utilize proper CRT emulation. The games don't look right without it.

[marcelahernandez]

im specifically interested or in the market of buying a house of the dead dedicated machine for my home

Any of them works too, wether its the first, second, third, or fourth game doesn't matter!

Now I can see how curved screens would do well without having to use multiple monitors to extend the viewing angle. :)

I'm looking to buy some arcade machines but I have three problems. I'm twelve, in America, and don't make much money. Any advice
