Matt Powell can build you one for a price. He can add any game on to it you want.

There is an antique store/mall out here in Alvin that has about 5 or 6 I think for sale. I can't remember what ones they were, but I do know that outrun was one of them. Street Fighter might have been another.

I went to a party in AUstin once. I kicked everyones *** in Street Fighter II then my bestfriend comes and beats me with Chun Li. SF II is awesome on arcade. Id say golden tee would be a solid choice as well but can be pricey. Shooting game ehhh i dont know of many of those besides area 51.

My freind had one that looked identical to that but he could hook his ps2 up to it and play the ps2 games on the arcade with the joysticks.

I'd love to get Championship Sprint...where you can have 3 players spinning the steering wheels like mad!
