A Moment of Wisdom

I found this article over at Instructables:

When  I was growing up I loved playing games in the local arcade for hours on end.  There were always a great variety of games and with just a few dollars I could play a whole bunch of them … and then Nintendo came about.  Once that wonderful system hit the market I spent hours on end in my basement playing the latest 8-bit games and never really looked back at the video game arcade scene.

Now that I am “all grown up” I get to play games with my kids on the Nintendo Wii.  It’s a great system and you can download most of the nostalgic games and reminisce whilst sharing 8-bit glory with the kids … but it’s just not the same as playing them in front of a six foot tall video game arcade box!  How in the world can you recreate this beloved memory of old school arcades for yourself and share it with your children?

Well, if you want spend a whole bunch of money you could actually purchase these arcade machines and designate a room in your house to truly make a real deal arcade of your own.  On the other hand, you could follow the wonderful instructions from this Instructable and make your own miniature/portable arcade box that could emulate all of the games in one box. Genius!
