What is the most fun you've had playing your custom arcade cab?

About every 3-6 months I have a game night with a couple buddies and my 2 nephews (18 & 11).  Just playing classics and eating pizza.  At our Halloween party, not a lot of different people play the cab, but those that do, play it all night long.  At last year's party I got to play it for about 20 mins total.   :laugh2:  Unfortunately it seems like a lot of the people in my friends circle either weren't big arcaders or have grown too "old" to play that stuff.  (too bad for them)

My wife had a staff party over at the house.  Two guys decided to play SF2, a game that I totally suck at, but they both excel at. 

I always wondered if the button configuration I had along with U360's octagonal restrictors were good enough for SF players to be able to pull off all special moves.  They didn't have any problem adapting and beat the hell out of it.  They played until their hands wore out.  I thoroughly enjoyed watching them battle and watching my cab perform flawlessly.

The most fun I have is either playing 2v2 NFL Blitz or 2v2 NBA Jam with friends.  Somehow those two games more than others get everyone yelling and high fives are in excess as games seem to always be close.  It usually draws a crowd to the arcade to watch the game, which makes it all the more exciting.

I'm embarrassed I also have a blast playing Derby Day Horse Racing.  Pretty much all of my friends are gamblers, and one particular buddy plays "house" and we put a dollar or two on horses.  We start the race and everyone is into it of course because there is money on the line.  This is another game that can draw attention and gather a crowd when I have parties. 
It's funny to think I built this to play all these arcade games and we keep coming back to Derby Day.

My ~3yo daughter usually spends 10-15 minutes every morning playing various games while I'm cooking breakfast (the cab is adjacent to the kitchen). Watching her get progressively better at World Class Bowling has been very rewarding. And the day she got to the third round in Robotron made be pretty damn proud.

This past Sunday my wife decided to try a Golden Tee 2k after watching the same daughter amuse herself by hitting every water hazard available. She ended up playing an entire 18 holes, setting the record for longest drive and the record for longest putt :P

I could put 10,000 games on but the only game everyone always plays is street fighter 2 turbo! Can't walk away until its cleared!

Although the best part is when its just built and you turn on power button, then you hear the buzz and pop of the speakers turning on and LED's lighting up and nothing explodes! Great feeling!
