sucks to be player two on that MAME Cocktail :?

Sweet old school Pepsi sub shop sign! really nice re-purposing.
are those walls really brick or is it wallpaper? your house looks awesome. 8)


player 1 is on the right, player 2 is on the left. the front controls are for games like the simpsons, tmnt, street fighter, etc.

the walls are panels, you can buy them at lowes. I had plain walls, felt the brick was more old arcade feel.

Rydon, that's badass


He was referring to how the 2nd player controls were switched, joystick on the right, buttons on the left.

Ok I'll bite. I love all types of games but mostly enjoy Capcom CPS2 and Neo-Geo arcade stuff. Its nice that both systems have decent multi boards that do not rely upon emulation. The VF2 machine is going to get auctioned off next month. Going to replace it with a candy cabinet someday.

As always Majors collection makes me sick.

Oh no, they only get turned on every month or so lately :( Congo pinball gets the most play cuz the lady likes playing it. I run a business so gaming in general is mostly on hold for me.

The Capcom machine lived at a local Tilt arcade that I saved it from. Saved the Neo-Geo from being destroyed. Both monitors are still not bad but I try to save all the life they have left.

gradualmeltdown, very nice looking cabs you have there. I'm envious of the capcom cab.

thanks man! The Capcom Qsound cab is my favorite gaming item in my collection bar none. I have the CPS-2 18-1 multi-board which allows me to have 1000's of dollars worth of Capcom arcade games running on legit hardware. I've got a few stand alone PCB's too such as proper Super Turbo and Puzzle Fighter.

Always nice when the wife/GF is supportive. My GF loves the neo cab and net city as well, and we often have neo turf masters or bust a move battles until very late hours of the night.

I got really really lucky to score mine. I was checking about 5 different craigslist sections for my state, for just the word 'arcade,' daily for months until I found my cabs. You never know when someone will list something and they don't know what they truly have, and you've gotta be on it with cash in hand.
