I am starting by restoring old games. Same skills involved and I am in no mood to Mame a Spy Hunter. It was easier to restore one.

I am in Norther Ohio - So I am in the basement! I plan to fill the basement with arcades and put bowling alley carpet : http://www.joycarpets.com/gpp/party_time.htm in there. A neon sign or two and I have Arcade 80's!

??? I have a question for MAMER's

I just wanted all the games quickly and easily accessible.  If I or a friend said "what about Tron" or "tempest"  ot "Asteroids" I wanted them all there and available immediately.

It is defiinatley cheaper, easier to maintain. And I like having a universal machine.  I also like the look and the controls do not interfere with each other because there is not a situation where they are used when they would interfere.
