Would you like to see a forum for "Real Games"

(1/6) > >>

paigeoliver:
There was some previous discussions about a restoration forum. But many people mentioned that there is little actual restoration work going on here.

So, would you like to see a forum dedicated to real games. As in games that do not have computers or video game consoles inside them.

Posting wouldn't just be limited to restoration of course, anything from repair, wiring, conversion, and just anecdotes about real arcade, pinball, and electromechanical games would be acceptable.

I know a lot of members here do own real games. I have 3 original vids, one pin, and a couple of EM pachinko machines myself.

If you vote on this, please chime in with a reason why you voted, and why not list your games (MAME and otherwise), so we can get a real picture of what the people around here own.

My game list

[*]Do! Run Run- Upright, appears dedicated
[*]Kangaroo - Upright, dedicated, working great
[*]Time Pilot - cocktail, dedicated, serial number 000007, also has Time Pilot '84 PCB
[*]Victory - Pinball, working all the way
[*]Galaga- Mame, in ATW mini cabinet
[*]Amazing Mame - Mame, dedicated 1976 Midway Amazing Maze upright
[*]Battlezone - Project, will be Mame, but will only play Battlezone as nothing else will work right with those controls, and the mirror projection stuff anyway).
[*]Solitaire (trackball Mame)
[*]Space Firebird (vertical 8-way Mame)
[*]Gorf (cocktail mame)
[*]Out Run
[*]Popeye
[*]A couple of Defenders that don't work
[*]Turbo that doesn't work
[*]Sprint 2 that doesn't work
[*]Magical Spot cocktail (doesn't work)
[/list]

I'm voting YES!!!

I recently bought a broken down cab at the last Mesquite auction & I found out that inside was a working (when powered up I heard the beautiful game sounds ;D) 2 Slot Neo Geo board with Aero Fighters 2 in it.

I'm transplanting this board into a new (read converted) cabinet & would love to have a decent resource when I go to plug it all back in.

So that's me at this point, but I hope to own a couple of more Original Games (even if they are converts) after the next Mesquite auction.

My Game list:
Neo Geo 2 Slot (currently in conversion proccess)
More to come!

I think it would be interesting to read even if I don't plan on doing any of it.  It's also probably good stuff for all of us to learn about for when miscellaneous cabs make unexpected appearances in our homes.

jakejake28:
yes...

the simpsons bowling,  marvel super heroes, and a galaga cocktail

Frostillicus:
I would guess you could get more questions ansered at RGVAC than here.  I vote no.
