Title: Finally finished my first cab!
Post by: seaner on April 12, 2003, 01:28:02 pm
So after about 2 weeks of video card issues, I've got everything resolved and I've put the cabinet in its final resting place in the basement!

I agree with that, it gives the cabinet a very authentic retro feel, nice and colourful too. However if you were born in '76 aren't you a bit young to have played PacMan and Space Invaders in the arcades?

WHOA! It's a big 'un!

Niiiiiiiice monster........
*feeds it a quarter*

*slowly backs away*

I just read some of your site...... SAUBLE BEACH! HOLY CRAP! I used to be up that way every summer around that time.... We went to Chelsley Lake Camp every year. We'd go to Sauble about once a week to do laundry and I'd always hit the arcade there!

Hehe.. Pac-Man may have predated my arcade days, I probably didn't start dropping quarters until I was 8 or 10 or so... but I assure you, the game was of course still around!

You can't beat a good dig-dug, donkey kong, frogger or pac-man.. still the first games I had on my "games disk" for my first computer.. C64.

Brax, I wonder what ever happened to that arcade at Sauble?  I remember it was a split-level monster back in my day.  Probably just 2 machines left in a laundromat now.
