yes the x-arcade are quite good..i wanted the trackball model , but found this on a forum for 90 bux and couldnt pass it up. i will still get the trackball eventually in the near future.i thought of the cocktail cabinet, but honestly dont think i could play like that. when and if i do a second one, i will add a drawer in the front to hold some xbox 360 usb controllers and mouint a usb hub in the front for all my console roms, and i plan on adding this to my existing cabinet.... http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-1i-49-en-70-2vss.html

Are that looks like fun would work good for games like
Terminator 2 the arcade game and Operation Wolf
The cocktail cadinets people make look sweet and cool from what i see of them.
Only down side with cocktail cadinets is trying fit all the hardwere in side a small cabinet
i.e. CRT monitor With the likes from heat from hardwere
i have seen people put computer fans in coicktail cabinets two cool them.

Arcade games? You guys want to see arcade games? There is a place here in Rochester, NY that has tons of the old stuff, all restored to perfection. Anyone remember TRON?
Take a trip down memory lane here, it's cool. And the owner, Rodger, has even more of these machines, in storage.

You can never be too old for gaming, as long as you're good

de.das.dude · Nov 8, 2010

im 18 playing games since i was 5 on my bro's computer.... ahh the good old days... too bad i dont remember what i used to play :/
i plan on "Gaming Till I Die".

nailzer · Nov 8, 2010

I'm 60. My first gaming system was a Fairchild Channel F console. My first computer was an Atari 400. I bought it October 30 1981. The first game on the Atari I bought was Star Raiders.
About the only game I play anymore is Quake 3 Arena and Quake Live. I'm trying to branch out in my game selection, but I like the fast action of multiplayer Quake.

fusionblu · Nov 8, 2010

I'm 17 going to be 18 very soon. ^^

As for gaming I started from around the age of 3 if my memory is correct. Let's put it this way my first game console was the Sega Megadrive where I played Sonic the Hedgehog and sometime later (a few years I believe) when the PS1 first came out (my parents brought it for me ^^) I was surprise about the massive progression in graphics when I played Spyro (the first game) which was my first 3-D game.

Sometime later I brought a Gameboy Color and that became the first portable game console I ever played too.

From there I pretty progressed from PS1 and Gameboy Color to PS2 + Gameboy Advance & SP + Gamecube (if the name is correct) and to present time I did have a Wii (didn't like it so I sold it to my brother), still have a PS3, PSP and Nintendo DS, but I don't really use them now as a year ago I decided to play games on PC which I still do now as the graphics are so much better along with gameplay too. ^^

CJCerny · Nov 8, 2010

43 now. Starting gaming on a friend's Atari 2600. Intellivision was the first system I owned. Still enjoy a good frag fest--wish we had this stuff when I was 13.

arroyo · Nov 8, 2010

I'm 27 and my Atari 65XE still RULEZZ when it comes for gaming!
Seriously... "Boulder Dash" or "River Raid" kicks ASS on 40 inch LCD!

Not at 17. You will see man. Life is going to change for you in ways you never expected. At 17 I "knew everything" too. I had already seen more then a normal 17 year old too. But man you have no idea whats in store. Enjoy it man!

Ok ok I've heard enough agony aunt :roll:

jk

So... who's the oldest gamer here then and at age are they?

fusionblu · Nov 8, 2010

@TheMailMan78
Unfortunately I know what is ahead of me already and the only thing that will change that is luck which I guess can happen at anytime. Still I guess I'm happy that I have a rig that should last for around 3 years of gaming (maybe more) with some minor upgrades such as a possible motherboard upgrade along with getting some solid state drives when something more reasonable comes out. There again there could also be that so-called world's end in 2012... well like that would happen.

Still I understand the fact that there are greater games which have yet to come out and I guess they are the greater years that all of us awaits.

They way the industry is going I don't expect there will not be any more good releases, ever. Seriously, it's all downhill.

fusionblu · Nov 8, 2010

@Frick

True. Especially with COD where it's practically the same game all the time only that it's either a continuation of the story or that it is a different story. The only COD game I did like was World at War, but as for Modern Warfare 2 I didn't really like it at all as I was expecting a lot more considering I brought it when it first came out.

The only good game I found which I actually liked which is different to most of the PC games I've played so far would be Front Mission Evolved and I would definetly say that it's worth trying out. The next game that I have high expectations of would be Assassin's Creed Brotherhood which is why I have pre-ordered the codex edition so I should be expecting that very soon as it is going to be released on the 17th in the US and the 19th in the UK.
