Your thoughts? Personally I'd rather just play the classics

This is pretty interesting since it uses a vector graphics which is a pretty unique setup compared to most traditional arcade games.  Looks like it would be fun to play at least a couple times.

It's a great idea though I doubt they can commercialize it. I am curious to see what the cost was to get the parts to build this thing.

My guess is it would be expensive to implement, I need to read the article closer still

Cool, too bad it is an unique, 1 unit machine. No chance of playing it :(
