I dropped the most money I have yet on an arcade game yesterday by a wide margin, which is going to take a lot of work tracking down additional hardware, documentation, and obscure know-how to get up and running. It's most likely going to be a long-term project spanning years, so I don't think I'm going to say what it is for now so as to not get anybody's hopes up (it's not the Tokimemo arcade game, though; I'll say that much), but since I've broken that psychological barrier of Money I'm Willing to Drop for a Single Game, now it's got me thinking of other things I'm slightly less scared to maybe pick up down the line and lord help me, I'm starting to eye stuff like 64DDs and being like, "This isn't completely unattainable at the current exchange rate if I really set my mind on it." 😩

I really would love to play this copy of Doshin the Giant that I've had for years on its native hardware, though. Maybe 2023 is the year Zip Disks make their comeback in games in this household...
