supergun? arcade cab?

Post by Battlesmurf »

Hello!

Well, I'm not really new to the page- but still really new to the forum. I carry a limited knowledge of arcades and playing them at home- but i have many a questions I'm hoping some bright folk around here can lend some assistance to me :) I have a Battletoads arcade that I've been emaning to spruce up for a mint, but as of now is sitting. I have a 52inch crt tv, which works pretty well for most of the games I play. I would like to get into playing some games like Progear and such as close to the arcade version as I can. I just got out of the military a few months ago and moved back to my home state- but I don't have any arcade connections here in California.

Any suggestions on how I should do this given my situation?
Best place to buy Supergun devices?
Lol..anybody want to help me get set up with a cabinetand some games? Lately i seem to have more money than time :P

Any help would be greatly appreciated; )

Thanks!

d-lite over on neo-geo.com sells great superguns, friendly guy too, im sure he will help you get an awesome setup if you use his sevices.

for a cab check up with droid on this site and hell hook you up, i saw "matsu" selling astro citys for just $500 a pop.. thats GREAT value!, the astros screen is unrivalled for playing 15khz games.

ed: i would choose a cab over a supergun everytime, but i guess its a matter of personal taste, welcome to shmups btw :)
