Pics of my new arcade! (56k warning)

[NickmasterX]

My room has become a veritable arcade, now that I found a cabinet at the dump and my friend got another from his work and gave it to me, all within the span of a month! The one I found at the dump used to be Tournament Arkanoid, but it wasnt working of course, so we replaced the monitor with a 21" and the trackball with a 2player Xarcade, and soon Im going to replace the marquee. I've got the newest version of Mame32 on there with 837 games and counting.
The other cabinet is Gravitar, apparently a vector game from the '80s. The sound works but video doesn't. If I cant find a way to fix it I'm going to just replace everything with a computer. In the mean time as I don't have alot of money, I'm going to see if I can hook 2 monitors into one computer and get another Xarcade to use with 4 player games. Pics:

Gravitar is awesome, highly regarded as one of the most difficult games of all time.

That would be most unwise. Fix it, regardless of the cost.

Agreed. You Mame that, and I'm flying to CA.

If you don't want to fix Gravitar, I'll bet you could sell that puppy, even non-working, in a hot second. Then you could find just about any kind of gutted cab you want for your 4-player project (which isn't a bad idea in and of itself, by the way!) and probably have cash to spare for another monitor, another X-Arcade stick, etc.!

That Gravitar is far too nice to MAME!!

I think I'm dying a little inside right now :(
