Awesome! I'd love to have a ski-ball and my wife wants a Pacman.
He has a basement bar as well. Ski-ball gets interesting after 6+ beers lol

I've always wanted to build a MAME cabinet. A lot more practical than finding/buying up arcade machines.
Just started collecting a little over a year ago because of my love for arcades in my younger days. Here are a few picks. I also have a UMK3 and a Wrestlefest. Sorry for the large pics....
Thanks for that, saw he is in the triad area, would love to go visit that, I probably havent played a stand-up arcade game in 10 years now lolthere is a guy in my area that has his basement full of video games. He has some rare ones, too. He has around 25 so far. He is constantly refurbishing them. In order to pay for this, he opens his basement up once a month by invite, charges $10 for 4-5 hours of all you can play. He has Donkey Kong Jr., Centipede, Burger Time, Elevator Action, Galaga, Frogger, Pac Man, Punch Out, Zaxxon, and a whole bunch more. It is pretty cool, takes me back to the days when the $.25 arcades were cranking in the 80's
here is a link to his facebook page, from there, you can contact him if you want to visit. He will put you on a list and send emails when he is ready. https://www.facebook.com/WienersAndLosers
You need to come down here and check out the comic shop by the house. The have a classic arcade section. All the games are still a quarter. I'll occasionally take a $10 roll over when I need to blow off some steam.
Use to love going to them when I was a kid and I still like going to them today when we go to Myrtle or Daytona beach. The ones on the boardwalk look like they never left the 80/90s
The best on the boardwalk are the baseball (pinball) games.
Id like to have more pinballs, but over the last few years, the prices skyrocketed.
Latest addition..
I remember playing this game as a child at Skateland West and other local arcades when I was around 12 years old. In around 1994 or 95 my dad bought the compact model which was an upright machine with a bench for our basement arcade.
I always loved this game and a few days back, a cockpit version was posted and I had to have it. It's one of 800 made... Guess they made 1 for every pound it weighs lol
With the help of my dad, we retrieved it last night. It's in very good condition overall with only a few small scrapes in the artwork.
The only question now... How do I get it in the basement?!?!
