New "old style" tabletop arcades

Post by TwinChargers »

Saw that Sears has a few classic arcade systems on there website. Have both a Space Invaders and a Frogger system. Can't say I've seen them firsthand, but they look pretty cool online.

Yeah those have been around for years, don't know if they're any good or not.

One thing I DO know (as I noticed it on that same page) is that the Excaliber Space Invaders sucks. Big invaders, only one player, too easy and boring, don't bother with it unless you're just a hardcore collector (I'm a bit of a "bottom of the screen" shooter nut myself, but even *I* don't want that piece of junk!). My sister's kid has it, so yeah, I've played it. Bleah!

I'll probably add a couple to my collection. Seems a tad pricey. Anyone remember how much the Coleco originals were in 1982?
One burning question that will remain with him until his dying days....."Was my victory really worth the price I had to pay?"
