At a local laundry mat to wash some blankets and saw this beauty. Totally taking me back. So many to choose from!!!

This looks like a modern home brew machine you can tell by the list of games around the joystick it shows X-Men and several others that weren’t made by midway as well as the monitor has been upgraded. They’ve got the midway sticker on there, but there’s a bunch of games like streetfighter that are not made by midway.
You can get emulation systems on Amazon, the support wireless controllers and modern PlayStation/Xbox controllers plus arcade sticks for pretty cheap and they come with all the original arcade versions and Home console versions of these games.

I was wondering if this was a modified/home brewed iCade. Looks like it, especially with the mixed titles/manufacturers.

Nope I can’t stand that long, I’ll just play on my phone

Just get a stool like we used to!

As long as I bring a pillow🤣

They're pretty easy to set up at home these days, too.
I'd almost go there to do my laundry just so I could feed it my play lunch money.

This is damn cool. But I see Mortal Kombat is on there...how can you play that game with that button setup!?
Weird-Girl-675@reddit (OP)
Not well!!!

Looking at the control deck, some of those games are unplayable. For example: Crazy Climber requires two sticks. Others require more buttons.

Robotron with only one joystick? Thanks but no thanks.
svennew@reddit
Technically, Robotron would be Williams (pre-Midway acquisition)

Not an Atari dream for me with no tempest, asteroids or space duel!
svennew@reddit
Or Gauntlet I & II... but still good.

No Tempest?

Played most of these at Cidercade in Houston, last weekend. Toobin' is my jam.

Next to an ATM. Seems dangerous.

Yup and there are charge machines on another wall. Giving me Chuck E Cheese memories.
Until i remember that I’m 50 and my back hurts.
DianaSironi@reddit
Whoa. How much per play? I see the $0.25 slots.
Weird-Girl-675@reddit (OP)
Yup!
They even have change machines and there was a guy tossing quarters into one of those machines where you wait for the quarters to fall off the edge.
