Arcades vs. Platforms

[kandrathe]

One thing I would be willing to spend a few quarters on is a good pinball game. Consoles and computers really can't begin to do justice to pinball.

That is the distinction for me as well. Downhill skiing games, motorcycle or road racing simulation games, or pinball where the real physics of the moving machine are what make the arcade experience sooo much better than hardware in my house. For head games only games, depth is important and so the arcade falls short.

Actually a fantasy project of mine is to transform a laz-e-boy into the ultimate 3D VR platform with XYZ rotation and motion. Seat belts would not be optional.
