I marked the most important parts of that statement in bold. :lol

I work mostly on building/tweaking the cabs, then sitting back and watching other people play the cabs, then i lose interest and don't touch them for a long while, i don't think there is an end-game here, i think for me its all about the journey to get there, the real game is the problemsolving to build the game!

The sad part is I'd love to actually sit down and play some of the games. But being married and a father means that free time is a rare thing. Don't get me wrong though. As soon as the wife and son go visit some of her family for a week or two, I'll be cranking up the 80's metal and playing until my hands hurt.
Anybody else run into this problem?

Same problem and with the wife giving birth to the second child at the end of June I can only imagine how much less "free" time I will have.

I'm just really glad I built my cabinet before my son was born. I definitely have less free time now than I did before he was born.
However, as for the use, I do admit I use them less, but only because I spend most of my time working on new arcade stuff, so I never have time to play with them afterwards. Whereas before I would be able to build them AND play them.
But things are looking up... My son is starting to like the arcade room (he's almost 2). Everytime he goes in, he gets all excited (even if they are turned off) and bugs me until I turn them on for him to play around with. He's at the button mashing stage and doesn't really "play" the games yet, but it's a start.
So I imagine over time they will get used more. :applaud:
I posted some pics for fun below. Enjoy!

I have a 7 year old, a 2 year old and my wife has really bad back. Between the 7 year old getting upset that the 2 year old is in his stuff and my wife's "Good, your home I need a break" it's a trade off, sleep for arcade time. Although my 7 year old is totally hooked on my cab so I get some Man time with my son at least once a week. That plus there ais thean ea;srjeianm zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
