Title: Countertop bar video games
Post by: Dio 70 on April 29, 2011, 10:08:05 pm
Would like to purchase a countertop bar video game like you see in the bars and John's arcade.  What is a good brand to buy and what do they cost used?  Someone has a megatouch xl platinum listed for $400.  Thanks

MEGATOUCH is the standard by far. Try to get something in the "FORCE" series. These can be upgraded all the way up to FORCE 2011. Force 2011 is the last Force update. After that, they are doing something new. So, these should come down in price soon. The CRT versions of the FORCE are much cheaper than the LCD versions but they can't play all the games. A small handful of games only play on the LCD version and not on the CRT version but it's far from a dealbreaker..
