I have a cocktail cab of Nintendo's space invaders ripoff, Space Fever. Color version.

[+slx]

Would love a Lunar Lander (oh that thrust lever....) or Asteroids but both are as rare as space in our apartment over here ;-(

I don't own an arcade machine, but I have an empty arcade cabinet that's partially finished that I built out of plywood from my own design. Pretty much the most complicated thing I've ever built out of wood. It's not great-looking, but for me it's pretty good. Just wish I could build up the enthusiasm to finish the thing, though.

[+Tarzilla]

I have an original Frenzy stand up by Stern, and a cocktail of indeterminate origin with a 60-in-1 board in it with a monitor that was hooked to an Alpine Ski board in its past life. In the past I have owned Mr Do, Satan's Hollow, and a Gorf that I still kick myself for selling.

 

I technically owned a Rampage and a Disks of Tron Environmental for 25 minutes (in the days before ebay drove the local arcade providers to double their prices) but measuring them resulted in me having to give them up as they wouldn't fit thru the doors of my house...

I'm allowed to have one when we have a house

My wife says once we get a BIGGER house I'm allowed to have a room for arcade games. I'm holding out because my sons & I like our current house, our neighbors, neighborhood, & walking distance to parks & their school- there's really no reason to move.

 

While most enthusiasts would welcome such an offer, I dont see myself filling a room with arcade games. I like,playing them, but likely wouldnt enjoy maintaining them.

[TPA5]

Technically yes, I have an original generic arcade cabinet that had a one-off shooter inside it. I'm in the process of MAME'ing it.

[Nebulon]

TRON full-size 1982 coin-op.

 

It's my pet.

[atarian63]

up to 36 machines now.. stop me please!

Pics of my Space Fever machine.

Game Mode B is great! Too bad the button for selecting it is so badly worn. I guess I have the revision where they appear as a row, rather than a column, in mode B.

The Star Wars ripoff-jingle it plays when starting a new game is pretty unique.

I *think * there is a couple more floating around there...

 

And yes I have a sickness!

[Wyluli Wolf]

I did but sold them off Got tired of moving them every time we moved!

I had a MAME machine made out of a street fighter II world edition (or some oddball edition) cab.

I also had an original Double Dragon cabinet. It was sweet!

 

Now it's down to a retro gaming room with a bunch of consoles in it.

 

I always wanted a Demolition Derby cab! Love that game!

If you take an official Nintendo cabinet and use it to make a custom Nintendo mame (with a top loader system and a pair of modified advantages) does that count as both?

[rsa2000]

2 currently. Neo geo 2 slot, and an empty rampage world tour destined for mame.. 80% complete. Sold contra and karate champ years ago... was young and moved alot.

[AtariBuff]

4 currently. Three dedicated Atari cabs: Asteroids, Lunar Lander and Tempest and a dedicated Quasar cab by italian company Zaccaria

[tremoloman2006]

I own just one thus far... Kickman stand-up in great shape.

 

Looking to trade/sell it soon for either a Millipede, Gorf, or Spy Hunter stand-up.

[Ottothemadandevil]

Gyruss board thats stuck in a BAS Jamma cab and a Taito Trimline on the way thats being restored into a dedicated Phoenix.

[peedenmark7]

Nope , but patiently waiting for the right original Space Fury as well as Zaxxon !

[BassGuitari]

I've got an Atari Anti-Aircraft that the previous owner "modded" by rigging up a switch on the board to toggle between the airplanes and the "hidden" UFOs. The left player's missiles are glitched out though, so it's a 1-player game at the moment (and will be indefinitely until I can get it fixed).

I previously owned a Kee Games Tank that needed more help than I could give it.

(I have an affinity for the crusty old '70s B/W games. )

[Papa]

I have two authentic machines 'upgraded' to multicades and six that I built by hand with my own design that use real consoles and wired controllers (some with adapters for multiconsole use)!!

 

Here are pics of my arcade room (Seven Golden Lampstands)..

..The last pics are of my bedroom custom that uses an HDTV, has a Modded XBOX, Atari 1040STE (right side Atari joystick wired), and is also currently hooked up to my Jaguar until my next cabinet project houses that system!!
