Can I borrow some arcade machines?
I used to have many more cabinets and a lot more boards. I'm not sure which ones I got rid of when I thinned things down (after building a Mame cabinet).
I'm actually considering either giving away or selling for very little the Daytona set since it takes up way too much room.
For me I think this happened around the 20-or-so machine mark. By the time I owned 20 machines, I must've bought and sold 50. More than once I would go out to my backyard shed to play a game only to remember that, oh yeah, I sold that one.
It would be different if I bought one every time I sold one, but it rarely works out that way. Sometimes I mean to buy one but end up with three, or I trade two-for-one, or one dies and I forget about it. For a while whenever people asked me how many machines I owned, I was answering "20ish", which blew their minds. Then it was 25ish, then 30ish. Now it's back to around 20ish.
I think.
I finally acquired an incredible good condition original cocktail table pacman machine yesterday. It has original glass with original underlay silkscreened to the glass and cabinet is superb. Got it for 300 bucks cause the guy dint know how to fix it. Needed 2 fuses an edge connector cleaning and the super pac boards reseated as they had worked loose. It also has a Multipac version 1.3 24 in one installed which was a total bonus! I personally am not a fan of any kind of make cabinet that involves destroying a nice original dedicated cabinet so I hope I'll fit right in here. Just wanted to say Hello to everyone and introduce myself.
My wife paid for it for me for easter,she's definitely a keeper!!!
Not a huge collection yet, but I'm working on it.
Empire City 1931 (was part of a converted Defender cabinet I got for free, been working on trying to restore it)
Aero Fighters
Gigawing
Vampire Savior
Raiden DX
Ibara
Own a Astro City cabinet and a homemade supergun to play them on.
I also own a Street Fighter II pinball machine made by Gottlieb, great little table.
I have aquired a couple over the years:
Galaga - my favorite
Crazy Taxi - fun game until a mouse chewed a wire GRRRR
Time Crisis: Crisis Zone - I'd rather have time crisis 3, but it's still a cool game
Centipede - Classic. One whole side art is missing though.
Sega Up'n Down - needs a power supply
Mame cabinet - Homemade
Had P's Attack, but I sold it because it sucked.
I have
Mortal kombat 2
SNK Neo Geo
Ninja Gaiden
I'm looking to get a pinball machine next, and a cocktail table
Added a few more pcbs to the group. In the last few months, I've picked up POW, Gondomania, Black Tiger, and 4 player TMNT. Black Tiger is an all-time favorite. TMNT is one I just have super fun memories of from its heyday, as that cartoon, game, and toy line couldn't have been much bigger in culture at the time. POW I just dig, as it's got that old Rambo meets Double Dragon feel that screams the mid '80s. Gondomania is just a neat little vertical shooter that makes use of the LS30 rotary sticks, so it's a nice one as an alternative in my Time Soldiers cabinet.
I guess it's that time again. My current line-up, all dedicated:
-Bank Panic
-Computer Space Ball
-Frogger
-Kickman
-Looping
-Lunar Lander
-Mr. Do!
-Ms. Pac-Man
-Pro Monaco GP
-Zoo Keeper
"And remember ladies: if it ain't tight, it ain't right!"
Surprised I never bothered with a list on here since I joined the club in May.
Neo-Geo MVS 2 Slot Dedicated SNK cabinet, and it came with 9 legit and 1 multicart. Cabinet also came with a SNK Neo-Geo mini marquee sheet to go into the marquee
- 161in1 Multicart (around 100 legit, rest are hacks or remade bootlegs) (with game listing long bezel sticker)
- Aerofighters 2 (Sonic Wings)
- Aerofighters 3 (Sonic Wings)
- Baseball Stars Professional
- Bust-A-Move (with full art and marquee kit in ENG+SPN)
- King of Fighters 98
- King of the Monsters
- Metal Slug
- Metal Slug 2
- Samurai Shodown II (with full SPN art kit only)
Since then I've picked up some added games
- Ninja Combat (new not on multicart)
- Mutation Nation, Spinmaster, World Heroes (bundle pick up) -- they're on the multi cart
- League Bowling (new not on multicart)
-- Neo Turf Masters full kit (inbound 2 days ago from Italy) -- on the kit, but so replayable and a personal favorite
The cabinet I'd say is like a 9/10 shape overall, almost no abuse/use to it over the years, coin odometer is in the low 12Ks. Has 2 sets of keys for the system (one for coin mech, other for marquee top) and the original coin box too. It does lack the manual so I printed my own. The whole original purchase set me back $500+ ($75 in value from Dragon Warrior IV + Tokaguma Strategy Guide.) It was a logical pickup, wanted an arcade machine and this allows a full arcade in one space and space is a concern.
I thought I'd bump this so that all our new visitors to the Arcade can add their collections, and all the veterans can update theirs. I need to add 10 or so cabs to mine.
