I don't know, the BA213 (VAX 3400?) with a PDP-8/e on top make an excellent
place to sit the dish full of quarters for our Neo Geo.

My guess is just about anyone under the age of 35-45. Of course most
people here are probably using MAME, rather than having their own Arcade
cabinets.
It's intesting, but neither my wife or I were that big of video game fans
prior to getting married. After getting married we've found that it's
turned into a common hobby. We now have most home console systems, and we
got the Neo Geo arcade cabinet as it was cheaper than getting the Neo Geo
home console and the games we wanted (she's actually the one that found the
cabinet for sale locally, on eBay). On the home consoles we seem to tend
to prefer the arcade ports and two player games.
