The NinjaCade in Pictures (56K pain)

[ClubNinja]

So, I really enjoy looking at pictures of others' arcade collections.  The more pictures, the more variety, the better.  I never really bothered with pictures of my stuff since I was more interested with what everyone else was collecting and playing.  Someone asked, so here it goes...

On the way down to the "Cade", some words of wisdom:



We obey all the rules except for beverages and loitering.  Lots of beverages and loitering going on:



Down to the "classics" side, first stop is the Rock-Ola 469.  Now playing?  Journey, Def Leppard, Ozzy, and more 45s from the 1980s:



Far wall, Super Breakout, Asteroids, and Taito Egret (featuring a variety of MVS, CPS-2, and Taito F3, along with the occasional vertical shmup):



Near wall, Circus, Missile Command, Tempest, Gyruss, Galaxian, and Time Pilot (tough to see):



Egret again:



Galaxian - one of the best:



Time Pilot in better view:



As a side-attraction, we have our Lego Space monorail traveling around the top of this part of the room.  Here's the home base:



And a floating bridge:



We also have a city in the back of the room.  Here's one shot, and I won't bore you with more:



The back wall features the mini arcade.  Here's one of about three sections.  Included here are Pac-Man, QBert, and the Vectrex:



Last stop on the classic side is the Atari 2600 corner, complete with old Radio Shack 13" TV.  Shelves include some MVS and other arcade carts, along with Atari carts:



OK, so then there's the pinball and misc side.  Here's the view as you enter:



PinBot and Bride of Pinbot:



Comet and assorted video and pinball flyers on the wall:



We prefer Williams pins mostly.  Sorcerer and Earthshaker:



Time Fantasy, The Getaway, and Genie (a Gottlieb):



The opposite wall houses the Cyberlead, which features Atomiswave almost exclusively:



Center of the room, US Naomi cab with GD setup.  Was once World Series Baseball, is now Capcom Vs SNK 2.. and Border Down.. and many others.  We <3 Naomi:



Far rear corner, Nintendo Playchoice 10. I'm not a huge fan of the PC-10, but we don't actually own an NES, so most of our favorites are played here if available:



Opposite rear corner.  Gun Fight - a classic black and white 2 player dueling game, Pac-Man with 96-in-1 board installed, and a sitdown California Speed (complete with funky seat cover):



Another two pin shots:





To the back:

Dude that is insanely better than last time we were over.  Now we need to come over again and bask.  Every time I look at that juke my soul whines a little bit that it didn't fit into my plans but damn it looks great in yours.

What are the discs under the pins?

[ClubNinja]

It's a little tough to see, but each disc is the base of a gas lift stool.  The seats themselves are molded in a metallic black color, much like the look of Computer Space cabinets.  If you really focus on the last two pin pictures, you can make them out.

[ChadTower]

Oh, duh, it looked at first like they were under the pin feet, I didn't see the stool tops.

Very nice.     I am jealous!

And I love the stripper poles!

I noticed that you have some of those stools from Target. I picked up a pair of the black ones myself last week while they were on sale for $40 each. They are PERFECT for long Puzzle Bobble sessions with the wife.

Great looking NinjaCade.   Makes me jealous.  The quality of the pins looks fabulous.  Thanks for showing us the pics.

 

[Crowquill]

Very, very nice.

It's awesome to not only see a wall of great classics, but to have pins and candy cabs too. I think you might have the best variety of any home arcade I've seen yet.

Simply awesome.

Is that pink flamingo by the table
made out of Lego's?

Is that pink flamingo by the table

Unfortunately, no.  He's wireform with pink christmas lights wired through him.  He's also got a motor that, when powered, moves his head and wings up and down.

Thanks for the comments, folks.

That is an amazing setup!
 
I have a thought that might look cool.  You should paint the top of your basement black.  I would keep your eyes from being drawn to the natural wood color.

Thanks for sharing The NinjaCade!

I see what you mean, but the natural wood color ceiling is intentional.  My initial plan was to put in a black tiled drop ceiling, but I knew I'd miss the "rustic charm" of the bare wood.  Plus, I've found when people are actually inside the 'Cade, the last thing they're looking at is the ceiling
