Starting a gaming lounge - Setup order?

[Horton55]

I am currently mapping out the initial budget for a small business venture and I’m a bit stuck on the workflow. For a small retail setup, would you look for fish games for internet cafes first, or start with the hardware/kiosk side? I’m worried about buying expensive terminals only to find out they aren't fully compatible with the specific platforms I want to run.

In my experience, the software requirements should always drive your hardware choices. For a small retail setup, would you look for fish games for internet cafes first, or start with the hardware/kiosk side based on what the developers recommend? Different systems have different graphic and processing needs, so picking your titles first ensures that your machines will actually run them smoothly without lagging or crashing during peak hours.
