Arcade machines are extremely expensive. I don't really know about how much old ones cost, but like, Dance Dance Revolution machines back in the day generally ran around $7500. Brand new DDR A machines today, like you see at Dave & Busters and Round 1 are $20,000. Add in how many proprietary parts arcade machines use, and how much maintenance they need (a LOT), and it's kind of mind boggling how they're even profitable. --- Join the Nintendo Fun Club today, Mac! <cite>ohnoitschris posted [p:912289303] in Honestly, ...
