Incredible spaces, yots and chopper.

Mine is super modest, I had to get rid of a few cabinets before moving outta Canada, but kept these two for my 10' x 5' office nook set-up in our small apartment. Clean, cozy, and most importantly for a space this tiny it's organized.



The New Astro City currently has a CPS2 Multi in it, but I swap-in pcb's often, sometimes a PC for Mame (though much more rarely these days).


Consoles on my desk are Saturn, SNES, NES, and PS4. Other consoles are in storage. Also the vertical screen sometimes gets my supergun connected for vertical PCB's, but these days my go-to shmup set-up is from my Saturn.


These are the only foam board posters I've put up so far.

Hopefully you make some time to visit Casa de Yot when you're here!

Pretty simply but it gets the job done.

I like it! Robotron is a great machine. What games do you play on your saturn??? Because I love mine still to this day. Just curious!

Lately I've been trying to get good at Battle Garegga, but it's super difficult for me. The bullets are so hard to see!  I started playing Raystorm, which I'm absolutely loving! Beautiful game and awesome gameplay.

I've got the Rhea installed in it, so I'm playing pretty much anything I load the SD card with, but these two are the ones I've been concentrating on lately.

Sweet... I was just finishing up Dragon Force for the 6th time it seems... trying Dragon Force II but eh.

Twilight Zone
Theater of Magic
Klondike
El Dorado

I really need to get ---my bottom--- in gear and finish the vertical cab.  It's been sitting idle for quite some time.

I love Theater of Magic!

Melenko has Street Fighter it seems... I have never even seen that Pin.


My dream is a Creature from the Black Lagoon or Champion Pub (of course they are both crazy expensive.)

Sure thing, bro. I vectored a bunch of the Twin Galaxies original artwork and uploaded them to this thread here:
https://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,138554.msg1431118.html#msg1431118

The posters can be easily printed on 11x17 tabloid-sized paper. There's some other stuff there, too.

Theater of Magic always seems to be the crowd favorite.  I was shooting for variety on the pinball front and each is pretty unique as compared to the others.

I love this.  Cozy, compact, organized and best of all, a vertical shmup setup!  ;D

I made two additions this weekend


They are both in pretty good shape. They play well. P1 trackball on centipede needs some attention. The vertical axis is not working correctly. Other than that they just need some cosmetic work.

Lol you guys have some pretty interesting setups, alot of it looks like it is straight from the 90’s… well straight from the 90’s if you were rich. It's like so much so I am surprised that you even own a digital camera. Is everyone on this form in their late 40’s and 50’s?

I think the problem is you are perpetually 12 man.  We are on point in regards to what a game room is supposed to look like.

Hey, check that judgement by the door... I am in my 30's. How old are you? And btw the 80's and 90's were pretty lit.

I suppose Fallacy wants us to stuff our arcade rooms full of redemption games and cell phone game rip offs. ::)

90's?  I don't see a slew of paint-over conversion cabs. Aside from Ian and myself, everyone else has 80's cabs. Know your era suckah!
