Do you have any actual arcade machines along your MAME machine?

[johnperkins21]

Oh yeah and my Simpson's playset (Which has Larry the Looter, Slugfest, and my favorite...Nuke Canada)

They really needed to put Grandma's House in there, that was a good game.

I've just started my collection with an overpriced Goonies cab that will eventually be repaired and turned into a horizontal 4-way Mame machine.

I dont have pics yet but i have a huge 33" pedistal mame machine and right now a galaxian cab but it has mame for galaxian as my board died for it and a ms pacman and a golden tee fore 2005 cabinet. i like my mame but nothing beats an authentic arcade machine...it just has that smell

I decided after working on my MAME cab to get a cabinet that could run JAMMA boards too. I'd originally wanted to get or piece together a Shinobi cab, but realized that with a JAMMA adapter for Shinobi I could use any JAMMA-wired cabinet and be able to swap out games occasionally. A side-effect of this is that I can run JAMMA games that are newer/3D and that MAME doesn't handle very well. Mr. Driller 2 stays in there 90% of the time (my wife is addicted to it). The PCB you can see where the door fell off the front of my MAME cab is Soul Edge v2.

I bought the cab from a local distributor for $100. It's a Primal Rage cab that had been converted to Tekken 3. Going down there I expected to pick up a generic 19" dynamo cabinet. The atari cab's a little funkier, but the 25" monitor was a bonus and all the electronics are still on a pull-out drawer behind the control panel. I made a new marquee, but so far I can't find an overlay big enough to cover the giant metal control panel. The kick-panel graphics are on a plastic material very similar to the control panel. I haven't found a good way to get them off without damaging the laminate underneath. It's kind of ugly right now, but it works.

Sometime this year I also plan to buy or piece together a 4-slot neo-geo cab. I think that's about all I have room for.

No way you could play Defender or Stargate without the original cp layout!

I'm with you on this one. I'd love to get a nice 4 or 6 slot Neo cab. It's hard because I really want a pool table in my game room wich really only leaves room for 2, maybe (and that's a huge maybe) 3 cabs plus 1 pinball. Of course my wallet doesn't have room for any of it.

I have a Ripley's believe it or not pinball machine and A Monopoly Slot Machine.  Besides that there is a talking dartboard, poker table, bar with blackjack table.  And today I am considering a foosball table, Target has it 50% off.

[DarkBubble]

At this point, all I have is an empty cab waiting to be MAMEd.  Even if I got it exactly how I wanted it, I'm pretty sure that I'd end up with a CPS1 cab set up for Street Fighter II but with other boards handy, if not just a Final Fight machine, and perhaps some others that are near and dear.

So do you guys think I could get a real (even if it's generic) jamma cabinet that works and has all you need (including monitor) for under $200?

no kidding! i have that too! mainly because snake is my favourite simpsons character and about the only way i could get a snake figure was the interactive one. so i thought i might as well get the diarama. im bummed snake only says two things though. id like to build those three arcade machines one day. they actually cover a good spectrum. nuke canada is trackball, larry the looter is is pre-fighter with two buttons and two joys and slugfest is fighter

[Arcade82]

I have the WoS too.. I have so many freaking of them. I had every single one up until like wave 14. I seriously must have 200 in and out of the package.

[epic69]

i have 3 mame machines. 1 for driving(upright), 1 for vertical (mat mania cab.), 1 for everything else (golden tee cab.)

Plus an Omni shuffle bowler and a Full Court Frenzy. (both are favorites at parties)

Wish i could afford a nice pinball, but most of my funds get soaked up in my old house ( plenty of projects)

Would also love to have a SmashTV original (fav. game) and a Ms Pac cocktail.

[RetroBorg]

I have a Galaga cocktail cabinet and an Indiana Jones Pinball Adventure sitting next to my MAME cabinet.

I thought that slugfest was a converted cabinet (from a vanguard)
