I remember a friend of mine bought a cocktail table cabinet kit from a company online, he came to me and asked how easy was it to acquire new games for it. Being familiar with emulators of the old console variety I was quickly able to get like 500+ Mame roms for him. Thats when it started, I got curious and played a few of those old games I loved so dear. I was remembering those nights of pumping quarters into “Aliens” at our local Pizzahut, and playing the classic gauntlet at our local skate palace.

I like the looks of Quasimoto’s setup. Too bad they don’t sell it stand-alone. If I were to buy a pre-packaged control deck like that I would definitely buy something with as many buttons and options as possible, and the slide in reference to buttons reminds me of my old Intelevision controller. The only thing it’s missing is the track ball, and I only say that because I’m thinking of Golden Tee golf (Per scenario above only at an older age: Those late nights pumping quarters into that machine at the bar.)

The one thing I am interested in seeing though, is a light gun interface. I’d love some House of the Dead / Area 51 / Lethal Enforcer shooter action.

My suggestion to Quasimoto is to sell the control deck standalone, you’ll open up more markets.
