Ever Wanted A Game Room With Arcades, Pinball Machines?

~~Ninja Turtles 25 Years~~ · 04-04-2011, 11:39 PM

This is probably a real "duh" thing, but I'll shoot it anyway. Did anyone besides me wanted their own Arcade game room in their home? If yes, what Arcade games, including pinball or other game room stuff?

1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Pinball
3. Mortal Kombat
4 Street Fight II
5. Air Hockey
6. Coke Machine
7. Basketball
8. This one pinball-like game of baseball where you get baseball cards for homeruns
9. Adam's Family Pinball
10. Simpson's Pinball
11. This Tornado pinball with a fan above the backboard I forgot the name
12. Sonic The Hedgehog - Was this available on Arcade, or just on Nick Arcade?
13. Terminator Pinball
14. Robocop Arcade
15. I forgot the name of this arcade, but it's a racing game, you sit down on a driver's seat, costs 3 quarters.
16. Indiana Jones Pinball
17. Star Wars Pinball
18. Super Mario Brothers Arcade, and on the other side of the cabinet was another game which I don't remember. This was one of those arcades you sit down to play.
19. This one hockey game with a bubble-shape top.

And I'm very sure there was many others I can't think of now because it's been so long. But until I get myself a sh*tload of money, it's just a fantasy; one that at least can come true.

Is this only Arcade Machines? or Does it include video games of all type including console?

I would dedicate half a basement to it.
-Air Hockey
-Foose Ball
-65' TV
-Xbox 360
-Famicom Twin
-Sega Genisis
-PS2
-Couch+Cha'se
Arcade Machines
-Mr.Pacman
-Donkey Kong
-TMNT
-Simpson Pinball
Thats all I can think of for now

Yup! So I went and did that!

Currently I have:
6 Virtual World cockpit based virtual reality simulators
A Neo-Geo 4 Slot
A Dig Dug Cocktail table
a Mame Cabinet
Turtles In Time
Ninja Turtles Pinball

On the list:
Killer Instinct
Dragons Lair
Mortal Kombat II
Street Fighter II Championship Edition
TMNT I (I had one, but the cabinet was water damaged so I let it go).

They aren't all in the same room; they're kinda all over the house/garage. I'm actually planning on getting rid of 4 of the cockpits so I have room for more uprights (each of the cockpits are 9 feet long).

That had to set you back quite a bit.

Not really...maybe 6 or 7 grand over the course of the 10 years i've been collecting arcade games?

Building a game room isn't something you do all at once dude.

I was gonna say yozza, but then I thought, "How much have I spent in the last 10 years in DVDs?"...it may be compriable, though to be fair a few DVDs here and there ain't no video game cabinet.

7 grand over 10 years is 58 dollars a month

I mean, sure. I COULD have spent a lot more if I bought on ebay or through showroom dealers; but its more fun, more rewarding, and a HELL of a lot cheaper to hold out for good deals, or buy junkers and learn how to fix them yourself.

Lord knows I've spend a lot more on Turtles. lol!

**Jester** · 04-05-2011, 04:43 AM

I guess I just meant my DVD purchases are a bit more spread out.

IamtheNorm · 04-05-2011, 10:44 AM

The few that come to mind right now

1. The Simpsons Arcade
2. World Cup Pinball
3. TMNT Pinball

My living room is a games room, it seen many different fruit machines but currently has a Simpsons Fruit machine, a 4 player ninja turtles machine, a Mame cabinet and a pool table.

I used to have a 4 player simpsons cab but I converted it into a Mame cab.

Posted a pic before, but here it is again.

I wish I had a bigger house as I would have a real arcade room.

Fixed it for you.

Yep, a games room would be a fantastic thing! Gimme Turtles in Time, a House of the Dead games and a multiple racer thingy and i'd be happy; bung in a darts board, pool table and a bar and i'd be over the moon!

Luckily i've got two front rooms of equal size, a living room and a games room, so the wife can't moan at me.. still keep finding her hanging washing in the games room though.. and the vacuum cleaner keeps finding its way in there..

*Ninjinister* · 04-06-2011, 01:40 AM

I've always wanted at least one arcade game... nothing fancy or obscure, just a classic like Donkey Kong. 'Course I live in a tiny apartment and my stuff's fightin' for room as it is now, so that dream'll have to wait.

Besides, I live within walking distance of an arcade. I'm fine with that as is.

Me and my boy actual buy beat up arcade cabinets and rebuild them with a computer and emulators so it has pretty much every arcade game, nes, snes, n64, sega games in it. Full working joy sticks and all. Pretty badass but very time consuming and pricey. We just did a Neo-Geo cabinet.

Working on Tekken cabinet now.

Looks like a Vendetta cabinet.

Is that a modified X-arcade tank stick?

rondieangelo · 04-27-2011, 01:55 PM

Yes, actually! I've always thought it'd be pretty awesome to have and always wanted it. For me it would include arcade and pinball machines, as well as a pool table. I would also place my gaming consoles in that room so that it would become a "game room". Well, here's my list!

1. Street Fighter II
2. Tekken
3. Pac-man
4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
5. Ninja Turtles pinball machine
6. Sonic the Hedgehog
7. Air Hockey
8. Foosball

adz · 04-27-2011, 05:38 PM

Indeed! Dunno what it is about having an arcade machine in the house that really lifts the awesomeness levels. I have a 2 player cab with Turtles in Time that I am 'starting' to create side decals for, but I'm just stoked to have Turtles in Time! Also have a few PCB's too.

TMNT 1
Sunset Riders
The Amazing Spider-man
Captain America and the Avengers
X-men - Children of the Atom.......but i can't find it!
