I had one for the shortest time around 14 years ago. Got it off ebay and then quickly sold it after I realised I must have been hexed / lost my mind for a day or something.
By 2005 it was well dated and things had moved on. To have true arcade games in your home was a thing I suppose once..
do you recall how much you paid for it? I bet it was still a lot.
It was, around £300 or so. I would say a lot for a retro machine that was dated.. the carts were stupid prices too.
Probably the reason I dumped it. Wonder what the hardware goes for now?
