That would be awesome (if MARCH ever got enough money)
There really aren't any well known arcade machines that are in any way
affordable. A complete, non working Ms. PacMan, for example, still goes for
between $400-$500.

Sad indeed. Brings back happy memories though of my
own childhood arcade in
a room at the local bowling alley. The arcade is long gone ... and the
bowling alley is a Pathmark.
Mark my words ... if MARCH ever gets massive H-building space and a steady
stream of visitors, then there shall be a legit arcade room!!!
