My Home Arcade - Check it out

Bakushan · 12-02-2013, 12:14 PM

Hey Ya'll,

I love gaming... but more of the retro variety.

Wanted to share my home arcade with you guys. Enjoy.

Bakushan · 12-02-2013, 12:17 PM

Some more for ya.

garsh · 12-02-2013, 02:40 PM

That's awesome. Home arcades are the best. I've never been able to get into pinball, but you have some interesting machines. I never thought about a TMNT pinball table before, and I think I see a Last Action Hero? Excellent. I'm jealous.

For some reason I can't find info right now, but isn't there a second TMNT arcade game? Theo e that was poted to the NES as The Manhattan project? And I've seen one picture of a Turtles in Time cabinet as well. Great collection btw. Very jealous. Love TMNT Pinball even if it is a pretty crappy game as far as pinball is concerned.

Quite a collection. Those tmnt machines look to be in awesome condition.
Good to see they are being looked after and enjoyed.
Cowabunga dude!

Casey · 12-03-2013, 12:47 AM

Oh. Here is some info on The Manhattan Project. There is a listing for Turtles in Time on the website as well.

That is awsome!!! Not a cheap hobby i'm guessing lol.

Bakushan · 12-03-2013, 01:34 PM

It took me 3 months to build my TMNT arcade. It's dedicated of course.

My next project is turtles in time... Aka... TMNT ARCADE 2

Yes, it's an expensive hobby.

That looks really cool (and fun)! I'd spend a lot of time in that room, especially on the TMNT themed pinball machine.

Oh yeah. It was my first machine. The sounds are fantastic!!

*Krutch* · 12-03-2013, 05:49 PM

Awesome, dude! You should be proud of how it turned out

Too bad arcades and video stores are kind of the way of the dingo these days...

*pannoni1* · 12-03-2013, 07:12 PM

Arcades are still popular at some vacation/resort areas. That said I hope to have an arcade machine or two someday just to enhance our game room.

What are the dimensions of that room you used?

Not sure. Its my garage. I converted it.

This thing moved out, the arcades moved it.

I still own the car though.

*Ecto Jedi* · 12-04-2013, 07:46 PM

Goddamn son, that's slick. I've never seen that Ninja Turtles pinball machine before. It looks hella sweet. Good job on tracking down the original TMNT arcade, and Ms. Pac-Man.

In short, you have the arcade room I one day wish to own. Best. Garage. Ever!

*Refractive Reflections* · 12-07-2013, 03:16 AM

Wow Bukushan!

I can see the parties at your home/garage certainly aren't boring.

Not only do you have the video and pinball games, but you have the ambiance of the arcade feel with the lighting (with moderately lit and colorful lighting) to capture some of the social atmosphere of the arcade. Cool stuff!

I thought 2 was The Manhattan Project. I am so confused now.

The second arcade game was called Turtles in Time.

That's an awesome collection of games! And to have it in your own home is great. I wish arcades were still around...I mean, they're not completely gone, just a little rare.

*Guitar_Raph* · 12-07-2013, 11:51 AM

Cool arcade! How many pinball games you have?

Yeah. I just got confused because I saw a Nintendo Playchoice conversion cabinet in a picture. I guess the graphics card is no better than the cartridge then.

Currently, 7. I have had as many as 9. We all trade/sell a lot. Think of it as people with $3000 board games that get bored and want to try a new title. lol.

Pinball people host parties a lot to have others over to try their games. It can take months and months to beat a pinball game....
