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!!

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.

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.

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 :)

 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 .

Fantastic!  What's that - about 16' x 24'?  I can't wait to see it completed!  What are you going to put in there? 

ArcadeFever - you've got a sweet set-up!  And a well done web site too.  Looks like ya have some fun parties.  Wish I lived in FL!

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?
