Home Gaming Center Brings the Arcade to You



If you really want to give the gift of gaming to someone this holiday season, forget all the the new consoles and pony up $4,500 for Dream Arcades' Home Video Arcade Center. The system, which is powered by an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ and boasts a 100-inch display, features a pre-installed emulator to bring you classic arcade games from Capcom, Namco, Atari, Midway and others. For a complete list of games, check out the product page.

If I had a million dollars, I'd buy you a Home Video Arcade Center
(You always wanted a Home Video Arcade Center)


Damn, I want one of these!

Our newest arcade features the largest screen available on any home arcade, 100-inches. It comes loaded with games and even works like a Music Jukebox and Home theater. It features a wireless audio and video connection* and a removable control panel. It even comes with a light gun and House of the Dead III.

You know what it doesn't have, but I would like?
Time Pilot
Time Pilot 1984
Tron
Tron Deadly Disks
Matel Intellivision games

1. Right now I can play 654 (and counting) arcade games on my PC using MAME.
You can also play any Intellivision game with Xanadu or Nostalgia. Here are the emulators:
http://romhustler.net/emulators.php

You can also get a lot of roms at that sight. That sight is very good for your old-school gaming needs.

Here is mame's website: http://mame32.classicgaming.gamespy.com/. Mame can run on a very low end machine, so you should have no problems running it (download the binary version if you have Windows) .


For the newer consoles emulation (like Playstation, Playstation2, X-Box, Gamecube), I would check out http://ngemu.com/. Right now I'm trying to get Final Fantasy 12 to run on my PC using PSCX2. It runs, but it's incredibly slow. You need a really high end PC for the PS2 emulation, but N64 and PS1 run really fast for me. I only have a Geforce FX5200, so if you have a better card, you can run the PS2 emulator much better.

All those games you listed above, except for Tron Deadly Discs, you get at romhustler. Just to let you know, if you want to play any Capcom games (like street fighter) you need all of the CPS roms in addition to the game rom, and if you want to run any neo-geo games (like metal slug, puzzle bobble or samurai showdown) you need the neo-geo files in your rom directory.
