    It's ridiculously 'easy' now compared to where it was five years ago. Buy a flat pack to build the cabinet or just mod an Arcade1up. Throw in a raspberry pi with retropie and a usb controller/button set from amazon and you're done. You can get a premade retropie image from arcadepunks.com You can keep the cost under $500 and do it in a weekend.

    I read somewhere that hes a Pistons fan and if you played with the Bulls against his Pistons, you could never win on an end-of-game shot.

    I liked how when MJ would power up he would make everyone dance on the screen and then kill all the bad guys.

    Here's the original music video besides the Moonwalker film for those unfamiliar with the reference:

    Mortal Kombat 3/Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

    I always enjoyed MK much more than Street fighter, and these two were in arcades back when I was at the height of my enjoyment of them. Oh, I almost never played them in arcades. I was terrible at fighting games. But sometimes my mom would take me down to UH, and I'd go hang out in the arcade in the student center while she taught her classes and just watch other better people play.

    NBA Jam and showtime took a lot of my quarters. Probably give the nod to TMNT arcade though as that was my dream game as a child.

    Picked up one of these this weekend in good aesthetic and working condition, playable as soon as I got it installed. Changed out some lights for LEDs. Belt on the force feedback steering needs to be replaced but it's good as is for now. Kids love it.

    I had forgotten the girl at the end of the race handing out the 1st place trophy. I can turn it off in the settings but I didn't tell my wife that.

    Oh, Google told me she did p*rn. Extra bonus.
