I think this is all very exciting if it can come to fruition. I think the more realistic games seem the longer I can stay interested. Sure I'll still play space invaders, and mario, pong etc but the games that still keep my interest for 100's of hours are fun, well developed in depth games, and...

However having this could come in handy for people who just buy storage units and resell lol like this op wolf I was considering offering 350 on it but I can send him this price guide and ask him to send me a more reasonable figure and hope he bites on the 150.00 its listed for here.

I was just thinking the same thing as I Was looking at these games. I was wondering where in the world I could find some of these at these prices. I would have my garage filled up by next commission paycheck on the 29th. I get my 15.00 an hour plus I average about 6k in commission a month. I'd...

Yea thats understandable but I'm guessing for a game such as Cliffhanger location wouldn't matter much where as no one is going to travel or have me ship my bowling game from upstate NY to Texas :-p At least this gives me an idea. But for instance there's a nice looking Operation Wolf which was...

Man I wish I knew more about arcade values, I have a keen eye for console collectibles. Was able to snag a sealed copy of Snatcher for Sega CD for $1.00 at a mom and pop video store that was going out of business. As the Sega CD and Saturn never really took off per-say he had a lot of sealed...

I'm hoping my garage will with in the next year. my man cave can only fit 3 games in it but it was mainly meant for my console set ups etc. and was able to fit 3 arcade games in so it was a win/win the garage is going to be for my pool table and majority of arcade games.

I can't get on his site everytime I go there it refreshes instantly and gives me a blank page I've been trying for days now. Anyone else having this issue? Well I guess it's just not compatible with chrome I use IE and it worked. Hate using IE though hope his stuff is worth lowering my...

Thanks a lot for all this information. I think I will just buy a little of both. Most of the time I'll be playing these games with my 3 (almost 4) year old and my girlfriend. Have a few friends who will play but not notice the difference. So I can mix and match and move from player 1 and 2 to...

Well here I sat trying to sleep at 3am wondering if it was really that simple so finally I said screw it grabbed the cell phone so I had a small light to put in the machine looked in there and of course the board was upside down. So I blindly reached in there and unplugged something so the whole...

Wow thanks for the diagram. I should easily be able to reach that once I open the coin mechanism and will save me the headache of destroying the other guys cob job until I possibly change out the game itself, but I plan to play it until the whole family is sick of it and can get Soul Calibur up...

Haha amen to that. I was raised by my grandparents but when I did live with my mom for a few years, always in different intervals my brother and I would get 10-20.00 to go to the arcade in the mall which we could walk to. Which I would never let my son do especially in that city, but we would...

Thanks for the information. Luckily most of this stuff I have I guess working on arcade games is pretty similar just on a larger scale, but I just want to make sure I'm prepared for anything. Good advice on the not just getting crappy games, something I have to take to heart honestly. I've...

I've already posted in repair and have some challenges ahead of me for my first 3 games, plan to switch out games, and get a Soul Calibur machine up and running etc. Won't repeat my story but I bought my first 3 stand up arcade games and plan to start a good collection. I own a ton of console...

I can see this from the front, this is what I have and it's the original/generic cab so I definitely have to get in from the back. My "mancave" has horrible lighting but the suns bright in there during the day and I work from home so tomorrow during my break I'll figure out how to get in there...

That's what I was afraid of. I fixed up a Street Fighter 2 game before when I used to buy and sell without collecting, but it has no back so it was easy to access. This one has a full back but the last person to put it together rigged it up a bit with nails/screws etc it's a mess smh. Last time...
