What is funny, Old 8 bit and 16 bit games look way better than I remember, but holy shit does the N64 look awful. No one had any idea how to make 3D plygons look good back then.

I've done both......built a mame cabinet out of an arcade cab and wired joysticks/buttons,etc.......and built a mame from a pre-fabricated/put it together cabinet.
The arcade cabinet had to go....as it weighed a billion pounds and was nearly impossible to move if needed. SO - bought one of the pre-fab ones from recroommasters.com I think their prices went up a tad recently, as I bought a cab that fits a 27" monitor for around 5-600 bucks a couple years ago. They are now around 700 - but they are really nice - pretty damn easy to put together....and you have tons of options for marquee, bezel, controller (x-arcade or others), and side-panel artwork. And it's quite a bit less weight than most arcade cabs. The problems with authentic arcade cabs are: 1) weight 2) most are not in good shape - and the ones that are, you're going to pay 400-1,000 bucks for, depending upon the cab/popularity of it. 3) many dont come with joysticks/buttons - and buying new ones and wiring is a bear I popped a windows 8 Core i5 in my pre-fab cab, using tankstick with track-ball and modded a spinner/steering wheel onto it, and have emulators for damn near every machine ever built. Got Hyperspin running as my front-end (what selects your emulator and game you want to play). It's a LOT of work to get everything working right - but when it's all over, it's a proud moment, that's for sure!

I'm too lazy to build one. I'd just order one through that link Pest put up, even if it is expensive as hell. It has literally every game I'd be interested in playing, so that's a bonus.

I've never played Black, but a bump up on graphics from II and III would be nice. |

Damn skippy.
I still play UT. Badass game. Loque and Tamerlane are tough when bots are on God Mode. |

However, the enchanting was fantastic. You could make some really great weapons. Also, you can make a mana stone that instantly reloads all your mana, etc. Lots of really cool stuff there. The great houses are fun to play through, etc. Lots of great stuff there too. Go into it expecting the disappointment you felt with earlier fallouts and you'll end up pleasantly surprised instead. I'd also recommend tossing some mods in right away as well to improve the NPC look and other graphics, etc. Oblivion is essentially a "very" polished Morrowind with better graphics.
