P.S. Also kinda fun to find some old cabinets with unique cabinet versions of known games. Like Need for Speed for example.

Interesting that you mention because a couple of months ago I do once see a arcade cabinet that run Need for Speed: The Run on it

Now I’m not sure if that thing is official or not (high chance it is fake considering there is little to nonexistent information about it’s official existence online) but it’s is coin operated and complete with the NFS: The Run branding all over it

I wish I had a picture of the machine to describe the machine better to you but sadly the dumb side of me is letting go the opportunity to take it while I was there…

I guess my find was older than Carbon, and The Run was when, in early 2010s? I'm surprised it happened, that they still did these things. Your little memory makes me wonder for how long they actually did them.

And, for just a little, a dream to get one of those to emulate racing games with such a style. Probs it means a full hardware change, but sitting there and playing Burnout, Underground could've become a life goal. One another tick in the list for my never-retirement (:
