  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

This belongs to a guy I kinda know locally. Planning a gameday soon. I've only been here once and have BADLY wanted to go back. It doesn't have the style of the pics you posted, but it feels more like the old arcades I grew up with:

Heh... I used to know a guy who solved that... had a monster gameroom and on the side was a seating area with a commercial tanning bed, big screen and wall full of chick flicks, and a slurpee machine with three types of margarita.

Cripes, my wife would never leave.

That's right, keep drinking, you're getting ever closer to the poison margarita. There is a poison margarita, isn't there Smithers?

Seriously?

Damn.

Wow.
What's with the 3 red doors? Does he play real-life Bank Panic? Or are they peep-show booths?

To those who didn't pay close attention, look again at page 3. That's an "unfolded" Mars Attacks pinball in his ceiling!
NO MORE!!

I wish I had that much money to spend on pins!  :notworthy:

I thought this comment on the bathroom pic was a riot.

I'm not sure Zaxxon is the best marquee for a bathroom... How about:

Asteroids
Astro Blaster
Bust-A-Move
Heavy Barrell
Hit N Miss
Tapper
Hyper Bowl
Paper Boy
Crackdown
Bombs Away
Bio Attack
Relief Pitcher
Vapor Trail
Panic Bomber
Touchmaster
Tail Gunner

Wow Chad...

That youtube link is a magic door to all kinds of f'ed up stuff though. First I saw cell video of boonga boonga gameplay, then I happened upon this wonderful inappropriate gem:

I've seen that vid before... awesome.

Toilet Kids is actually a pretty good 16 bit shooter.  I played all the way through it in college, doesn't require any Japanese.

That game room is simply amazing, I dont even know where to start my jealousy.

Hmmmm.........I wonder if he has a daughter who's attracted to arrogant workaholics?

If I could just have that room exactly as it is with the exception of another small nook to stick a showcase mame machine with a kegerator built into it that would be heaven.

We all can say "oh yeah well I would do this or that" so take what I say with a grain of salt (as usual).
