    Light guns do not work on LCD TVs and monitors.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

        It would have to be an old picture tube style monitor.

            Cool, whenever you finish your arcade cabinet be sure to post a pic of it. It would be neat to see.

              im thinking of something like this http://www.mameroom.com/Products_Bartop_Kit.asp along with the x arcade controller. the controller is kinda heavy though, like eight pounds. ill probably have to play around though. it could get expensive if im not careful

                    if i build this from the hardware store it still gonna cost over three hundred with the computer, joystick, etc. looks like ill have to save. i play enough games that it would get alot of use though. if i just play old games a refurbished computer wont cost much. anything can run pacman, etc. really i would like a real nice computer in it for newer games...
