Almost similar to Haze's occasional past observations into the future of progress with MAME except the 'detail' take of each generation.
Back in 2001 or maybe it was 2002, an arcade in Manitou Springs, CO (Arcade Amusements) had various cabs outside areas, but also several in various rooms in different buildings. In 2001 to 2002 years, when I had a chance to visit there, one of the rooms was practically a time warp throwback to 1960s/1970s because the room had EM hardware games, gun rifle games, 1970s video games, pinball tables, mechanical arcade games.
The brands ranged from Williams, Sega, Allied Leisure, Chicago Coin, Midway, Atari, Kee Games. The room was only open during summer tourist season. To little children in post 2000 AD, the mechanical games and EM hardware games were unique and still fun to play just like as if little children were playing the games back in 1960s and 1970s.
If it were possible to prevent wear and tear of the coinop games, and be able to keep games at same location spot for many years, the interest might be there, but maybe not as much as in past years.
