I've always wanted to set up a home arcade and I finally started collecting a few months ago. I currently have a Terminator 2, Ms Pacman/Galaga, a Rush 2041 racing game and a cabinet I'm building into a MAME machine. If anyone has a line on some for sale let me know, there are a few I'd really like to get into my collection. I'll throw up some pics tomorrow of my garage.

You know the old schoolers on here [Wink] .........80's 25 cent games FTW for sure. Best era ever 80's period. Nothing beats having your quarter lined up on the game waiting to get your chance at the popular release of Gauntlet. A typical Friday after school @ your local 7/11 or neighborhood pizza joint...Damn I miss those days...

We talked about this one but I think most mortal men would cry seeing me and Dag302 in our underwear and wife beaters in there stomping the shit out of that game! We actually joked about that too, it was funny you brought that one up.

Okay, here's my small collection. I fixed the force feedback wheel and shifter along with cleaning a ton of shit up on the Rush. There's also a pic of the $96 in quarters I pulled out of the Rush that fell under the coin tray over the years, when I first saw it I thought it was like maybe $20 but found it was like a couple inches deep at the back edge!! I also picked up a small Japanese slot machine for cheap that didn't work, took me a couple hours to decipher the writing and figure out it had a stuck button causing the reels to not spin. It works perfect now and does a bunch of cool shit too.

You aren't that guy who is posting all over Craigslist about some damn Killer Instinct tournament are you? I search all the time for games and I see this posted all over looking to have some tournament, all I can picture is someone yelling the whole ad in some old school WWF wrestler voice and knocking shit over while he does it.

This is exactly why I did it, all the great times I had at the arcade plus its still fun. There aren't many arcades around anymore and the ones that are all have busted ass games. I took my son over to a arcade/miniature golf place and every game we played had some issue with it, you talk to the employees about it and they just throw a token at you and that's the end of it. No one wants to maintain shit, if it turns on and takes your money then oh well. My son deserves to have the experience I had with arcade games growing up. I love my PS3 and Xbox but arcade is in its own class. I rebuilt the steering on my Rush game, a new active steering belt, a new potentiometer and tightened the gears, it drives like a brand new game now. I also had to fix the shifter but it was all worth it. My Terminator is getting a replacement monitor today, I got a great deal on one and I'll rebuild the guns too, then I'm going to finish my MAME cabinet soon.

My Ms Pacman has Galaga, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, 1942 and Frogger on it. My MAME machine is an old arcade cabinet that I got a X-arcade Tank Stick controller to mount, a P4 computer running Hyperspin with thousands of games and an LCD monitor if I can swing it. Once my MAME machine is done I'll be selling the Ms Packman/Galaga.

Here's the controller I got to fun my MAME on. Its built with all actual arcade controls and a trackball with a lifetime warranty, its seriously a beast of a controller but with a hefty price tag.

I had s sf2 turbo standup coin op in my kitchen back in my bachelor days lol that shit was sick! We had tournaments and played for money...i broke all who came thru.

I worked all day on my MAME computer trying to get shit running right and was having problems with my brand new X-arcade controller. I decided to open up the thing and found wires had just fallen off the switches because the connectors weren't tight enough, another one they broke when they bolted the directional control in! I'm pissed, these things were supposed to be bullet proof but being built in a retard factory I'm beginning to wonder!

Could you pm me or post up a link to where your buying your stuff to build your game system. I would love to build something like that for my house.

I got the cabinet off Craigslist, I'm using either a TV or an LCD monitor for the screen and building my own PC for the brain of the system. I got some decent computer speakers with a sub for the sound. The hardest part is getting the computer to run the front end and work with the emulators. They make several different ones and I'm trying them all out to see what works best. They will actually hide Windows so the computer will boot directly into the front end where you select your games. If I figure this shit out I'll help you with getting the PC set up. Here's a link to the controller, its the easiest way to do it in my opinion. http://www.ebay.com/itm/X-Arcade-Tankstick-Indestructible-Arcade-Gaming-/310342477126?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4841da6546 Just be sure to check all the connections inside [Mad]

I think im going to build a 4 player one so I can get 4 people on some classic games. Have you seen anyone selling guns?
If I'm gonna build one I wanna be able to play shoot em up games like time crissis & big buck hunter.

I just picked up an NBA Jam today, its got a 4 player control panel, its a solid case too. The guts are still in it, I just took the monitor out for my Terminator 2. If I decide to sell it I'll let you know, I was trying to decide if I should build that one for my MAME machine since its more complete than the other cabinet I have. You can buy guns and stuff off eBay.
