Narrowing down the game room lineup.
paigeoliver:
Ok, I am finally getting into the home stretch of figuring out which games are going to make it into the gameroom and which games aren't (had a bunch of machines in storage, had some machines in my gameroom that weren't mine, etc). I know I have a bunch of weird stuff, it is just what I was able to scrape up since I started collecting again 6 months ago. Been unemployed that whole time and really only have about $500 in all of this (although I already owned the frankencab and some of the PCBs and neo geo carts).
I have room for 17 games. I own 25.
The first 4 slots are decided.
1. Pole Position Cockpit.
2. Mame Frankencabinet.
3. City Connection.
4. Mystery game that I am getting as a gift. I am sure it will be a keeper.
That leaves 13 slots left to fill. Here is what I have. Game size doesn't really seem to matter much. All the walls in my gameroom seem to be odd enough sized that each one can take at least one bigger game in place of a smaller one, if not 2.
Category 1. Working all the way.
Shuffleshot. 27" in the proper Dynamo cabinet.
Bass Fishing. 25" in a red Dynamo cabinet.
STV Jamma cabinet. 25"
Video Trivia. In Crazy Climber Deluxe cabinet. Have spare boardset and a few spare question cards.
19 in 1. Robotron themed and super clean (but not a Williams cab). I just got a jrok board, so I might upgrade this or see below.
Capcom Bowling. 19" Dynamo.
Clowns. Poor condition but works perfectly.
Double Up. 1981 era video poker. Has spare boardset.
Pro Tennis. 4 Player Pong clone, Williams' first video game.
60 in 1. Cabaret, scratch-built.
Category 2. Easier projects. I know I can get these going.
Cabal. Just needs reassembly and the new artwork applied.
Tekken Tag. Tekken Tag in a Robotron cabinet with a missing marquee. Works fine, I have a jrok board that could be used in here.
Naughty Boy. Clean and dedicated. Needs a cap kit and a board/board repair.
TMNT. No artwork or boards, but I already bought NOS joysticks. Would do it sans sideart.
Category 3. Harder projects.
Midnight Marauders. Empty cabinet, perfect shape for a mame positional gun cabinet, and I have a gun for it.
Pole Position 2. Complete. Doesn't work.
Missile Command Cocktail, no glass, seems to have a board problem.
Space Invaders Deluxe. Empty cabinet in nice shape.
Sarge Cocktail. Seems to have power problems.
Head On. Power problems. Possible monitor problems as well.
Hustle. Power problems.
Finally. Working boards I own.
Neo Geo. with about 15 carts and a multicart.
Double Dribble.
Surf Planet (with stick)
Contra
The End
Pac-Man
jrok Multiwilliams
World Class Bowling.
Some tennis game.
Some golf game.
WWF Wrestlefest.
Scramble
Probably forgetting a half dozen more.

Unemployed for 6 months and your worried about whittling down the collection a little... ???

Eh, I have been picking up a lot of $25 items, freebies, trading projects for monitor work, doing multimachine pickups in exchange for gas money and one game out of the haul, etc. By the time I finish repairing my $50 truckload of monitors and selling off the extras I will be well in the black on my collection.
Current job market is terrible for men without degrees (ME). Right now I am staying home with my daughter until I can find something better than my wife's job, at which point she will come home.
