              Consoles were so expensive that's the reason why. But the home console ports of the arcade titles were literally arcade boards inside cartridges and were perfect 1:1 conversions.

                That makes me want to find one for a cabinet build. I loved Samurai Showdown and Bust-A-Move, the local pizza shop down the street from my house had one and we kept a coat hanger on top that let us click the quarter slot for free gameplay

                  Baller shit! Yeah I'd love an arcade cab myself.

                    I have this raspberry pi 4 and an extra 22” monitor laying around, that was my original plan for a cabinet but I like the idea of finding a console now. Probably not cheap, I’ll end up paying back what I stole in quarters I’m sure
