So if the new "craze" is bringing back old games like the old-style vintage video games where two players sit down and do combat by playing pacman or asteroids, there's at least one company making things sexy:
Just prompted me to think about what else I'd like to see come back sleeker and, well, more awesome :)
Like... electric football.

We have a mini skeeball machine at my home in NY. I'm sure they could pimp that out and make it all 21st century.

I had one of those electric football games…boy, they never quite worked the way you wanted them to. Strategize all these plays, set all the bases, turn it on, and…hey, why are my guys all just going in circles?

I never used it for what it was intended, I'd fill it with green army men and have wars.
Kind of like how this became a weapon instead of a game...

I wish I had thought of that... maybe we should do it and repackage it? Call it "Bush 2, Electric Boogaloo"

Now THAT would be awesome. Although I don't think I could ever get my fiancee to stop playing it... that's her favorite "carnival" game.

I have a game room, I just want a twilightzone pinball machine! (side note, if anyone knows where there is one to play, please let me know!)

And... voila! New, sleek and chic two-person arcade table!
Includes:
PacMan
Donkey Kong
Galaga
Space Invaders
and 44 other games
Cost: $2800. For an extra $270, you can add a coin mechanism to make some moola. Put on some castors for $36 ($54 for special wood floor castors). And for another $180 you can get a customized color. Then, of course, you have to ship it here from Australia and find a 240V outlet to get it to work.
Hmmmm.... that MIGHT not be worth it....

Also, when did foozball become an "old game?"
Do air hockey, pool, and table tennis count, too? I mean, they're old in the sense that they've been around a while, but they aren't exactly identified with a past decade. They've been with us all along for a good length of time now.
P.S. I will take on anyone on this board in a game of table tennis. :twisted:
