Looking into getting one. Would want a dedicated machine. what should I go with? I'm thinking Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros Vs, or one of the Ninja Turtle games.

Thoughts/suggestions?

Ms. Pacman, or Breakout or whatever it is called where you use a trackball and you hit a ball into some bricks.

Get a flattop one. Doubles as a table/counter.

Why get one of those when you can get an empty cabinet and hook your Raspberry Pi to it?

I honestly just think they look pretty ugly. I'd prefer to get a dedicated cab as partially a thing to show off.

I know I get throw a board in it too to play a bunch of games but the idea of own a dedicated game just seems cooler.

I like those ones that are coming out. They're like 300 bucks and got a few games per cabinet. Id want the street fighter one.

There are some nice custom made ones out there.

Also, I wouldn't mind getting a really cool Pinball machine. I don't know much about the intricacies of different table makers and all that stuff, but I usually enjoy a good game of pinball.

Heck yeah, I would love to have my own pinball table. You cant replicate that experience anywhere else.
