I haven't been to the arcades in years - maybe 10+ years.

Back in my youth, we could only ever dream of arcade games such as Out Run and Space Harrier being poorly replicated on the then home computers (C64, speccy etc), and just as we started upgrading to Amigas & ST's, the arcades were moving away from sprite based graphics to today's traditional polygon based images (Virtua fighter, Virtua Racer(?)) and again we played catchup.

So, how do modern day video arcade machines compare to a high-end PC setup in terms of poly pushing power and detail?
 
Things seem to have changed then, and not for the better :(

Wonder if you can buy old Space Harrier machines ... I could put one in my garage :D
