Looking to get one of these Retro arcade games to fill a space in the games room , have seen one locally on the bay , but the seller does say that every time you switch it on you have to reboot it via the Keyboard as she cannot complete the installation process

So i was just wondering if anyone on here knows their way around these machines and is it an easy fix , or on its way out …

Something similar to the picture below ….

Also whilst on the subject of "Man- Caves" and such anyone got or recommend a half decent Air hockey table , have seen a couple of commercial ones on the bay , but also seen 7ft x 4ft Mightymast Vortex ones that look okay but cannot find any reviews about them …

TIA ….

Sorry. mick, can't help. I'd love to get one of these,

but I don't have a games room  Current MY2020
Gone: 1 x L405 and 2 x L322's

The other half wouldn't let me get one of those Ade much as i would like to ,

Maybe she hasn't got a sixpenny piece to put in!

Cheers Al , don't think it's gubbed she just doesn't know how to complete the install on it might be something stupid really

Not exactly sure what needs to be installed Mick.
I'm assuming it's purely a Space Invaders unit ie it doesn't offer other games, so the code would probably be preloaded onto an EPROM on one of the circuit boards....... Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

I would say its more likely a modern reproduction of a retro game running on a linux based system.

Good thinking!
