Like probably a lot of you other gaming junkies I used to spend quite a bit of time in the arcades in my youth. Now there where many great games that IMHO only really "worked" in the arcade: SF2, SF2T, MK, BubbleBobble, Golden Axe and of course Pinball Games (TNG particularly stands out) etc.
Yes there where console ports but none of them where as good as the coin-op versions and I'm not interested in playing console versions (or emulated console versions) I want (as much as possible) the real deal.
Out of all these games (for me anyway) there was one stand-out amazing game which I never got bored of and still really want to play: It is of course, "Killer Instinct" (please note I'm not interested in KI 2 at all) from Rareware.
I've been trying to find a way to either:
a) Get hold of a cabinet that's either original and fully functional or built from new to run the KI game.
b) Get hold of an emulator which can be played like the original i.e. 2 Joysticks, 6 buttons for each.
c) Some other solution ?
Is there any way to do this and for a reasonobly sensible price (I'm not prepared to shell out £1000's just to play one game)? I've tried messing about with Mame and got nowhere, not even close. I'd also love to get hold of some of the old pinball tables but they seem very expensive.
