If you have a game room and a few hundred dollars to spare, you might just like the Vintage Arcade Superstore. They have a clearance special right now with prices starting at $495. Among the arcade machines available: arkanoid, asteroids, asteroids deluxe, battlezone, blitz, centipede, daytona usa twin, defender, gauntlet: dark legacy 4, mortal combat, neo geo with 100 games, pole position, popeye, star castle, street fighter 2, tetris, tekken 3, tekken 4, world series, world soccer finals, pin ball ( pinball ?) machines include star wars, terminator 2, space jam, and dragonfist.
Most of the games run closer to 800-1000 dollars it looks like although there are some as cheap as $495. They also have empty mame cabinets (with 19" display capabilities) from $50 (?), some of the games are as much as 4000 super gt.
They ship anywhere and the shipping costs range from 200-450 in the US. They say that you can leave the games coin operated or in free play and they will give you the key along with the arcade machine. They do sell unrestored vintage arcade machines at lower prices, but much of their stock has been restored. These are 100% original authentic parts and should play like you remember. (All restorations are play tested by the owner.)
The Vintage Arcade Superstore has apparently been featured on the History Channel for their show Modern Marvels (80s Technology episode.)
