Yeah, I remember the Neo Geo games first appearing in arcades, like Samurai Showdown, that was awesome, I always wen't the little Freddie Krueger dude with the knife fingers. Capcom were cool, I think they made Vendetta, which was like Double Dragon and Final Fight, one of my fave arcade games - totally politically incorrect though (like the guys who hump your leg, WTF!). It's funny how I always ended up playing the fighting games, even though I never really played much console beat-em-ups, IK+ was the only non-arcade beat-em-up that I played a lot. My all time fave arcade game is Black Tiger, you might remember the haunting title tune (dooo-deee-do-de-do do-de-do-de-do-do-do), you should definately try it if you haven't already.
My plan is to use a TV output graphics card and a refurbished cabinet, then put in a 1.5ghz machine, should be able to play a lot of arcade games. The new games like Outrun2, I would'nt try and run that on anything but a monster PC, even my bro's PC struggles and he's just spent a fortune on new hardware.
