Do you own an arcade machine?

[doctorclu]

Have a non-working Zaxxon machine.

 

I used to love playing that game as a teen.

[Tickled_Pink]

Would love one - Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Galaxian and Star Wars ... Mmmmmm ....

 

Oh ... and Moon Cresta, Berzerk, Missile Command ....

 

Well, if I can finally pull off some ASP.NET contracting work ...

I've also got a 10-Yard Fight cabinet in the garage that I rescued off the curb. No monitor or PCB, but all kinds of wiring and the like.

I refurbished a dead Donkey Kong into a MAME cab. I need to replace the monitor though...mine broke

Dave, What screens are you running in your home-made cocktail cabs?

[jesusc]

I have a sit down Nintendo Vs.

four player Sunset Riders FTW!

[SpareHead3]

None yet. I would love a Crazy Climber

[Dave Neuman]

Dave, What screens are you running in your home-made cocktail cabs?

 

Its open to everything right now but I plan to run only Vertical one or two button Games. I used a Ms Pac CP overlay and put a couple of extra button holes to the left of the Joystick. Its not completely finished yet.

[Crazy Climber]

None yet. I would love a Crazy Climber

One of my all time favorites

If I found one in my area I would buy it in a second but I never see them for sale

I love the dual joystick set-up.

[Phineasfool]

Right now I have

 

Toobin'

Galaxian (cocktail)

Sit Down 4-slot Neo Geo but it is gutted (going to just find a few JAMMA boards and rotate games in it)

 

I used to have some others though. They were

 

Xybots

Xenophobe

Forgotten Worlds

Hang-On

[diggs130]

1 a bally sente machine with interchangeable controls for a number of games

 

game boards with it

 

Chicken Shift

Hat trick

stocker

mini golf

name that tune

Street Football

Trivial Pursuit

 

a couple more I cant remember of the top of my head~

 

 

 

 

would like to pick up more machines if I ever find them for sale in my area!

[Gregory DG]

Hey, what's the story with that screen embedded in the wall?

[Atariman]

I got two, original blasteroids and xybots.

 

Glad to see someone else has a Blasteroids game sitting at home. What a game!

 

So yeah, I have a "real deal" arcade game at home (mentioned above).

[Dave Neuman]

Hey, what's the story with that screen embedded in the wall?

 

Thought it would be cool to mount a touch screen in the wall and play while sitting on the couch.

Used a remote push button and relay for the power and another momentary contact pushbutton

for the credits.

 

 

[Atari-Jess]

a non-working Head-On cabinet (PCB missing components).

 

...apply directly to forehead?

[Flojomojo]

I don't. Sometimes I wish I did, but then I think about all the space, power, and maintenance these things need and I content myself with emulation and consoles. XY monitors = $$.

 

Then I see pictures like Neuman's and I am filled with pure green-hot envy. What an amazing setup. If you invited me over, I would promise not to spill drool on anything.

 

Then I settle down and remember that I have approximately seven zillion console games and ROMs which I can play with "good enough" simulated controls. As much as I like Atari Star Wars, the memory is probably the best way for me to experience the game now.

 

I voted "No, I'm not interested" even though it's not entirely true.

[Rob Mitchell]

Rally-X cabaret cabinet!

 

And a nintendo cabinet for real nintendo gaming. (It's the size of an arcade unit ..)

[Gaztee]

I own a non working (currently) Area 51 cab. I should collect my Pacmania cab next weekend I have a working Phoenix cocktail, in need of a bit of loving restoration. I have a non working Green Beret cocktail & tomorrow I collect my Superbike cocktail, which will need a lot of loving care to be restored

Just need a bigger house now

[galaxy warrior]

i have a super mario bros. and i should soon have a mr.do

[Zonie]

So, this week's announcment of a new arcade-style unit from Awesome Arcades got me thinking. How many of you out there have an arcade machine?

 

Is it the real McCoy or a repro, like the Personal Arcade Machine?

 

If you've got one, what is it?

 

If you don't, what would it be if you did?

 

Me?

 

I've always wanted a Neo Geo MVS system.

 

*sigh*

I had a pac man, donkey kong, and a clone cabinet.

 

I want a cherry space invaders, or a lunar lander, Tron.

[geosteve]

I can only say "used to have" 2 of them, with working coinboxes

 

 

Area 51 full-size

Gauntlet Dark Legacy in a converted Legends cabinet

[Dave Neuman]

I don't. Sometimes I wish I did, but then I think about all the space, power, and maintenance these things need and I content myself with emulation and consoles. XY monitors = $$.

The maintenance part is half the fun!

Then I see pictures like Neuman's and I am filled with pure green-hot envy. What an amazing setup. If you invited me over, I would promise not to spill drool on anything.

Thanks for the compliment. I started out with one game over 25 years ago.

Then I settle down and remember that I have approximately seven zillion console games and ROMs which I can play with "good enough" simulated controls. As much as I like Atari Star Wars, the memory is probably the best way for me to experience the game now.

I wish I had more console games!

I voted "No, I'm not interested" even though it's not entirely true.
