My arcade in progress

Been working on this for about 3 months. Some needed some work and I am learning how to fix them up. One more arcade that I will be adding will be 4 player Mame with an LCD screen, maybe air hockey or foosball. Would add some crap like a coca cola machine, but I am all carpet so that won't work.

 

MAs man-cave, looks good, although the fluffy toy machine doesnt fit in with the reputation

Air hockeys a goodun to get, would you also be having a pool table? seems any games room should have a pool table.

 

In my family, those are called the 'Rip-off Machine'.

When we are out and a place has one, my kids come over and ask for a dollar for the rip off machine. :-D

 

Bring your kids over, I got 2 boxes of plushies from a company, so they only cost me like 50 cents each, I got one box of mix and one of Xmas things My neice came over with their kids and they both won a stuffed animal and were thrilled

Had a pool table before and never really used it much. It seemed to work as a laundry table for my wife mainly, so i doubt i will get another. Also running out of room soon. I was going to get a poker table but figured that would get used maybe once a week tops.

 

That is the new house

 

I know, then im out of room, im thinking an air hockey\foosball combo table. Your right though, everyone jumps for air hockey, so sounds good.

 

Yeah, that is the problem for sure! I want an old skeeball, but the space for it is questionable. Having fun so far. I have a dartboard I got at Overstock.com that looks like the bar ones, but is of poor quality woodwise, so dont cheap out there!

 

Welp, made my decision. Going to add Twilight Zone pinball and a 4 player Mame arcade upright to finish it. I dont like air hockey or other table games much, so decided to go with what works. Ive seen some skeeball games that are smaller then the ones you see at carnivals, but at 10 feet long, its just too darn big

 

Oh yeah! Games like that with vibration, etc are worth owning. I had, at one time, about 20 arcade games, it got WAY out of control. I remember an old WWF game too that was 4 player. I just sent my deposit and custom order for mine to the guy building it, were hoping for Xmas. Also bidding on a Twilight Zone now hoping to win that, this way by Xmas, or really close, the arcade will be as done as it can be, anymore and it gets cluttered, I have seen basement arcades where you can barely walk around.

Twilight Zone came today, Dream Home Arcades just called and plans to ship me by Friday. I did not know Twilight Zone was a widebody, I wondered why it was so heavy as we struggled down the stairs with it! Man, this is a fun machine, this is soooooooo addictive!

 

Nice collection of Pinball machines your acquiring MA, yeah find that oldschool pinball is much more addictive then the PC equivalent.

 

Its been great, everyone loves pinball, been suprised that my wife enjoys playing them! MY Mame machine ships monday and that completes my "arcade". Pics to follow after Xmas.

 

Its shipped!

Shipped Monday... Im guessing next week due to holidays, but this is my final one, or so I tell myself. 4 players, thousands of games, wheel, dual light guns, 29" monitor..... Oh boy!

 

Now that is neat, guess its all over to Tims for a marathon arcade and vino weekend

 

That would be a blast! Do they cost a lot?

And does it actually say Tim's Arcade on it?? Nice.

 

LOL, yes it does say Tim's arcade, its completely custom built. Will be here Wednesday, can't wait.

 

hahahah...that's awesome.

Where do you get them?

 

Almost all on Ebay. I won the arcade at a good deal on Ebay, then customized it:

And it arrived. At 325 pounds and having a 4 foot control panel, it was no picnic removing the control panel and dragging it downstairs. Oddly enough the stairs was the easy part.

 

She likes to play as well

 

Ok...now when is the party??? :-D:-D
