Well, I finally ran out of room in the house and garage. I sold off three
pins (Hulk, Swords of Fury, Incredible Hulk) and a vid (Defender cocktail).
I am re-arranging things and here is my gameroom so far.

http://pages.cthome.net/tui/Arcade.htm

I still have a Space Duel and 76 Coney Island Rifle to go to the main room.
I am sure some of you from RGP will say less vids more pins. But I figure I
have room for 10 pins, some great vids and a few classic EM games. So I
keep refining the pins to my 10 best/favorites.

The garage has the Suzuka 8 Hours (sit down motor cycle race each other) and
a bunch of vids and projects. The living room has a Joust cocktail (yes,
original) a phoenix cocktail and a MAME box. Other uprights and cocktail
are scattered about the house (I have a Battlezone and Sea Raider in my
kitchen). As soon as I get the electrics in the house upgraded so I can
turn on the entire gameroom at once (and a hot tub in the back yard) I have
to have a party.

Thanks for looking - Dave

Very nice!

Even like the dated wood paneling!!!

I've been through my share of gamerooms. Keeping these games working
over the years has been a nightmare. So now most sit idle in my garage
as I lament possibly selling but never actually pull the trigger to do
so!!

Will probably settle for a mini arcade of 3-4 games as much easier to
maintain. My collection of 13 is just too heavy and hard to keep
afloat...

Congrats!!! Enjoy!!!
