I Had to see how it played when I saw it.

Monitor had a weird angle and quality/focus was a bit off.

What ever type of hamster in running in a wheel to power the thing, needs to run faster. The game "chugged" it slowed down BIG TIME during the 1 game of SF2 I played on it. It was so slow it was horrible.

and you should of seen the price.

I had a chance to play it the other day. I absolutely HATED the sticks on that thing. I only played one game of Robotron, and although the emulation seemed ok, it was missing sounds.

I would also agree that the monitor is at a weird angle, I wouldn't be able to live with it like that.

The price to anyone that knows anything about MAME is WAY off the mark, but for Joe consumer.... I will admit the front end on it wasn't THAT bad. At least it was easy to use.

But I would much rather build my own.

I saw it two weeks ago... played it, ... hated it...

I saw it again 3 days ago... all the control were beat to mess
( the joysticks handles were coming right out of the base )
and the monitor was way out of focus and the colors were smeared all over the place.

I can't imagine the game saw "that" much abuse in a Costco store,
so it just goes to show how crappy to components are.

But hey, it was only $3K !
