If you are interested in original arcade hardware, and want to learning about superguns or cabinets to play, I’m happy to point you in the right direction. One marvelous recent phenomenon has been the cracking of many old security protection schemes and the resulting multis - similar to everdrives/flashcarts for consoles. For example you can have one Neo Geo multi-cart that loads the full library of Neo Geo games from an SD card. Same for CPS2 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP_System_II), sega system16 (https://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=701), and many other arcade platforms. Sadly there is no HNG64 multi-cart but there aren’t that many games to collect if you like this platform specifically.
