That X-Men Vs. Streetfighter would work well in a New Orleans home, I think.

P.S.
You're freaking nuts.
I have a friend that just restored an old Tron arcade machine. He might be of some assistance if you need technical support.

I heard that x-men vs. street fighter was a big hit. I think I have to be nuts, but you would be too if you heard that I got the whole lot for $400.
I remembered there was a hiding spot in pac-man, now I've re-discovered it
Pac Man Hidey Hole
Sorry for the poor video & no sound, man I need a new camera. I might be bugging your friend, I've got a ton of work to do on these things, but I think most are bad power supplies and a few video tubes. He might be able to make alot of $$ on that Tron game now.

Pretty sweet deal...and if you can get some to run and sell them off, I'm sure they'll pay for themselves and then some.
I'll talk to that friend of mine, see if he can point you in the right direction. He won't sell any, he's a collector. I think he has one machine that he built from scratch that has a few hundred ROM's on it...one machine that can play almost any game you can think of. The CPU is an actual computer and not a standard arcade board.

I could make a few
MAME machines from those that aren't particularly worth anything, MAME cabinets go for quite a bit and only need cheap PCs in them. I could specially customize them a bit to get the specific controls someone might want.
I'm going to turn my den into a full-on game room with blacklights, TRON posters, with speakers blasting End of Line, Derezzed, and of course the end title track, and some junk I'll make up. Every boys dream?!? Then my mission's complete.
Your invited when it's done. Bring cigars.
