My last post was only a few messages ago, but it's been quite a few months. In the time since my last post, I un-bar topped my Stargate bartop and picked up a couple pins. I always liked pins but never thought I'd own any. So glad I did, they get tons of play by people that aren't into the vids.

I guess they're a bit more approachable.

Pinbot AND Taxi? Nice!

Thanks! I love a lot of the System 11 games. I sought out the Pinbot, but I found the Taxi at a show and picked it up. I had forgotten how great of a game it actually is. Its getting lots of play!

How did you do your scoreboard, TOK?  Is it a restaurant-type, black board with white pop-in letters?  Seems to glow quite well under black light...

Yes, its a commercial black felt board. I was a bit disappointed to find that the small letters are black light reactive and glow, but the large letters are a different kind of plastic and don't. I'm eventually going to just get a couple more sets of small letters and use them for everything except the arcade name at the top... Might try painting the large letters to see if I can get them to glow.

[chiLLbiLLy]

Aww, that sucks that they used two different types of plastic for the letters.  I would think painting them would work fine, though, just might be a little tedious.  You could even get some day-glow colors and either paint them all the same or use a few different colors to distinguish between certain things, if you wanted.  Either way, it looks good so far!

Btw, where'd you get the board...an Office Depot-like place or online?  I'm looking to do something like that myself or else get one of those glow boards, where you write on glass with different colored markers or chalk...can't think of what they're called, but I'm sure they ain't cheap.

The felt board was from this place... https://www.schooloutfitters.com/catalog/index

The Sam's Club near me had the glow marker boards for $100. Pretty big, not as big as the felt board I have, but they looked really cool.

Just watched the video. Looking good dude. What ever happened to your sit down star wars cabinet?

[amendonz]

my modest bedroom arcade.. Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo (the greatest game ever made imo) and SF2 Pinball.. will be expanding once i move house. next project most likely a vewlix custom or maybe a new pinball

i have a bunch of consoles/lcd tv but nothing that special really

Took 6 games to the Seattle arcade show, so with the games out I figured it was a good time to rearrange and I love the results. Easier to give you all a feel for it via sketchup images than taking photos so here you go.

First floor in this post, from each corner of the room and an overhead shot (if you're wondering what's in the corner next to the garage door, it's a work area with 2 workbenches).

Second floor in this post, from 3 angles and an overhead shot (pin is a mr & mrs pacman, the computer is an apple iie, and in front of the tv is an atari vcs).

I think you bought defective guitars. How are they supposed to work without little plastic buttons and a strum bar?

my home arcade

[postmortem]

my collection... I dont have the space that most of you guys seem to so I just have em all over the house..

[eds1275]

I love that Explorer! Is that a Tusq nut I see there?

My "game room" is unfortunately small. It's actually a place I call the Studio Lounge but really it's my WIP Spinal Tap arcade, a pull out couch, and a bookshelf. Soon it will also house a smaller arcade machine that I am going to throw together just to have one finished that won't cost me an arm and a leg.

Still lots to do, moved house recently. Going to carpet the garage, and Mario-art the walls. Need to fix the lighting too - the colour temperature is rubbish. As is my phone's camera

Tapper, Arkanoid, SI, Asteroids (non-working), Dragon's Lair (non-working), Joust Cocktail (you guessed it ), Defender


Star Wars x 2 (as above), Track n Field, R-Type, Defender, Galaga repro, Ms Pac repro


Lounge, for consoles and movies. I am in the process of doing a cinema room so the speakers in here will migrate to that (55" 3D Samsung in cinema - room's only about 15ft front-to-back, 55" is perfect).


Replica Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band drum / side table. My favourite thing.

Here's a little writeup I did on my newly completed gameroom:

I got them a long time ago, so the info is a guess. Should be close though:

The chrome letters and stainless stools are from http://www.hillcrossfurniture.co.uk/bar-stool-c5/johanson-snaps-bar-stool-chrome-800mm-p6090 I think but I have had them three years and cannot find the letters on their site. I will see if I can dig out the original bill.

The plastic ones are made by Kartell and called Charles Ghost. I don't remember who did the original design but replicas are available. The real deal are around $2-300each depending on colour and size.

I moved my gameroom into the lounge to accomodate the new arrivals.
