I figured for my own reference and for others I would hook up my working games and see how much power they use

JROK multiwilliams - 110W
Nintendo Punchout!! - 150W
neogeo 4slot big red - 160W
Pacman    - 110W
scramble   - 130W

As I get more games working I will add to this list.

I'm always looking for some. It depends on the game and if the kit is there.

How about AMPs? Isn't that info more useful when figuring out how many to put on a circuit? I have measured a few of mine with a kilawatt and found most to be around 1-1.5amp

its all about the same really. My meter just defaults to watts and I didnt change it while measuring. A 15A circuit will be able to do around 1800w.
