Need some advice

Hi all,

I'm hoping to take my first tentative steps into arcade gaming at home.

I've looked at this and will probably pick one up as although it seems pricey, they come recommended:

I'm assuming playing games like R-Type, Ghouls and Ghosts etc won't be a problem. One of the things I'm not sure about however are CPS2 games. With a Supergun, do you still need to buy both boards for the game and indeed, will this Supergun play them ok?

Thanks in advance.

If that's a $400 supergun that just outputs SCART and comes with a Genesis controller than... give me $100, I'll kick you in the balls and we'll call it even.

There's no reason that thing should cost more than $100 tops. From the feature set, it consists of a power supply, Jamma harness and an audio circuit, wired up and droped in a beige box.

Granted, if you do have a SCART enabled TV (and being from the UK you probably do), you don't need a video converter - but, then again, it should reduce the price!

When it comes to superguns, I view it formulaically:

Parts+Labor=Price.

The parts are, maybe, $50. The labor, again, maybe $50. That's it.

In conclusion, it is not a good deal. You could just buy one of these:

Wire up a power supply and a controller for 1/10th that price.
