That is awesome!!!
-
I've been to loads of commercial arcades that were nowhere near as good as that.
In fact I think I've only been to one or two that were better.
Hat's off to you man!!

Where's the "boner" emoticon?

Nice, When can I visit? J/K :D

Impressive...but one thing really irked me..... Why do you have a Golden Axe in a Vigilante cabinet? ;) Its like an amalgam. Other than that....it rocks!
-
american demon

-
Wow. That's incredible.
-
Oh dear lord, someone pass me the kleenex!

I'm jealous of your Space Invaders Deluxe that actually works. I've had mine in the garage for so long now. I'm not the only one in here, either. We've got 3 or 4 people in here with busted SIDs.

Freddy ! ! ;D 8)

-
Cool game room, PM me your address and i will come over and check it out, not kidding. :o 8)
-
what a fantastic gameroom.... :D you have my envy.....if there were a hall of fame for gamerooms, yours would deserve a place.

Awesome, you have got to be single, I could NEVER get away with that... ;D
-
Wow, how long did it take you to collect all those?
-

4 years a lot of work and learning :)
and hours of restorations

My GF says when we buys a house she wants a nice game room, with a lot of toys...I hope it's still the same after we actually move in...
-
Yeah, I think the secret to having that many machines is knowing how to fix them yourself. Buying them when they're already prettied up makes them twice as expensive.
You gameroom looks like my garage except I haven't even started and you're already finished. Plus I'll be selling all my machines in the garage except for 1 or 2. My brother wants his garage back, and I don't have enough room for them in the house.
I'll have my own gameroom when I get my own place.

Awesome. Yeah your room is outstanding. I could never get away with doing that lol.
-
Yeah you are on Mame World. I saw that a while ago and Thought Damn!! Any room for more?
-
Cool! I've seen your site before and always admired the collection.
-
you'd never get me out of somewhere like that. do you have everything running on free play??
are they arcade flyers on the wall??
-
More importantly, with that many machines in that small a space, how hot is it in there when they're all on like that?
-
i like the miller time chalk board for high scores. where'd that come from?
-

nothing is on free play but as you can see i add next to each cabs a push button conect to the credits i dont like to set up games on free play because some of the games dont run the attract mode and the screen stay frozen, plus i love to here the noise of the credits ;D
yes it is flyers of games on the wall , basically all the games i own and some of the ones i will love to have.
actually a TEMPEST should join the collection soon.
i saw your icon about double dragon , that my favorite games is it yours too ???
i like the miller time chalk board for high scores. where'd that come from?
well pepole who come over always ask me what my score at this game or what the high score here , so on day i saw this sign on ebay ($30) i got it it came with a special pen , and evrytime i play a game and do a godd score i put it on the board.
when pepole come over the first thing they do is to look at the score and try to beat one so they can have there name on the board :)
-
More importantly, with that many machines in that small a space, how hot is it in there when they're all on like that?
before i use to have 8 machine in a studio, i move in this nice one bedroom, but i dont know why, but when pepole start to collect this things you cant stop :)
well when they're all on after 3 hours start to get a lil hot but i blow strong ac and evrything is ok .
the marquee are the things who make the arcade hot .
actualy i`m looking with my girl friend for a house so we can have a biger game room , she live in another one apartment 5 minutes from my place .
-
Awesome! How do you sleep @ night? I would be playing all the time
-

Hey arcade fever - mind if I use your BYOAC name as a license plate? I had a post a month or so ago trying to figure out a good plate that would show my enthusiasm as a classic arcader. I think your forum name would work well. I'm thinking either ARCD FVR or RCDE FVR. Cool?

i love your game room my friend,everytime i see it, it makes me want to do a bit more with my room,plus when i look at it its like a trip back in time to when i was a kid :'( the good old days ;D of real games and game play.

How long did it take you to build up that insane collection?
-
Stunning--forget the cheesecake threads (for like 30 secs :D) this is a thing of beauty--nicely done! Can you light up the pac sign and take a picture?--I'm curious how it looks
-

4 years ;D
-
VERY NICE. Did you have to get and extra-higher gear for the spinner-disc on your electric meter? Do you have any power problems with all those machines and lights on?
-
VERY NICE.

I want to know how you guys got stepford wives and bottomless salaries.
I have too many other hobbies to consume my entertainment budget. Hell, maintaining a current PC alone costs about $2000 every couple of years.
Even cheap machines on ebay, which are converts with crappy games in them go for 200-300 bucks. 12 machines in 4 years would be 3 per year at 300 per. 900 per year on machines alone, not including parts and repairs to get them into home game room condition.
Man!. I'm doing something wrong. As it is I have to finish the basement to be allowed to make one mame cab.

Man that is amazing! That room must be as big as the ground floor of my house to fit an entire arcade in! I will definitely show 'the missus'! She seems to think there are more important things to be done around the house than building an arcade machine! ;) ;D
