Jukeboxes

Another nice addition to the home game room is a nice Jukebox. I have found the one from Game Cabinets to be one heck of machine. You can see the specs at http://www.execarcade.com/jukeboxes.asp. The machine includes a great touch screen panel and a large number of features and unlike a lot of the other alternatives in the market it is easy to upgrade since it PC based and it even has support to use your Iphone as a remote control. How cool is that!

Build or Buy

One of the decisions that someone will make when looking to setup a MAME machine is should I build one or buy one. While building can seem like you save some money I have found that there are some very nice alternative that when you price them out make good sense.

A couple of options can be found at http://www.execarcade.com/arcade.asp. The Arcade Hits machine from game cabinets and the Arcade Station from Quasimoto can make a nice addition to a game room. The nice modern LCD displays and solid cabinets are better then the kits that I used and the controls are top notch. The Arcade Station's controls are made for game consoles but the Arcade Hits is made for PC with keyboard to control panel mapping already done. For this reason there can be use for both in your home game room.
