I've already got a full size Mame arcade machine and a Star Wars repro so this isn't actually that interesting to me, unfortunately.
The thing with Arcade games is you really need the physical controls as they are a large part of the experience.
Though maybe the ambience of walking around a virtual arcade with all the sounds could be nostalgic, but I have Arcade Club and Play Expo for that.

There been a pinball game like that in VR for ages, also some other retro classics that play on a virtual console, all of them pretty good.

The pinball one is awesome and definitely worth a look, Pinball FX or something, been a while since I checked it out.

Lottery winning dreams this stuff chaps.

But would want a Original Gauntlet and Outrun machines, then a nice MAME cabinet in the hallway :)

I got my dream machine which is an Atari Star Wars Arcade 1up repro, but I'd love a Battlezone.

Trouble is I've run out of room. I'm tempted to investigate a garden office I could turn into a mancave arcade and get a few more machines. The Arcade1Ups can often be found on sale pretty cheap.

Got around to giving this a go today, the amount of work this guy has put in is outstanding. Everything being out there, he's collated all the artwork, labels and attracts, and built a monster of an arcade with some custom cabs i think?.

Surprised he's letting this one go for free, it could quite easily be paywalled. Lack of sports games is a little deflating, and not too sure about playing Bomb Jack in a candy cab thou.:eek:

version 2.0.1 of this has been released now you can walk around properly rather than teleporting which makes lining up with the machines easier it's still another 6Gb download though i wish he'd just release an executable
