I know most of you guys have way more impressive gamerooms than I do, but I thought I would share anyway.

Pretty much every game in the gameroom has a recapped monitor, except for the couple that just didn't need it.

All of this stuff is available for sale if the price is right (although the price would have to be very right for my favorites).

Not pictured are the project games that aren't in my gameroom, those are; Space Invaders Deluxe (empty cabinet), TMNT 4 Player, Midnight Marauders (empty cabinet), Pole Position II, Missile Command cocktail, Demo Derby Island, Sarge Island, Space Firebird Cocktail, Moon Base cocktail. Head On and Hustle.

Cabal restoration project and Robotron jRok Multiwilliams project. I have everything to finish the Cabal (including NOS sideart). I don't have any of the art bits for the multiwilliams yet, although I do have the jRok board and I have drilled the panel.

Fisherman's Bait is running the Fisherman's Bait 2 software. This only recently made it into the gameroom from storage, I have only played it a couple times. The other one is the very rare dedicated Samurai Shodown II Neo Geo cabinet. It is currently running a 161 game multicart, however the original Samurai Shodown II cart is sitting inside the machine (the multicart has it on there anyway).

City Connection. This is a conversion in what was originally a Sega vector cabinet. It is the only known City Connection machine known to exist (the boards are out there but are super rare). I plan on adding control panel overlay and sideart later. Back in the corner with spare monitors on top is a Pole Position cockpit. This is fulling working 100 percent and has had all the power modifications done to it. I also have 7 parts boardsets, so I should be able to keep it going for a while. It still needs some cosmetic restoration work. Next in line is Midway Clowns. This works 100 percent, but needs a lot of restoration work. The only thing I did to it since I got it was to get the boardset working and repair the monitor. Then we come to Capcom Bowling. This is in a Dynamo Z-Back cabinet. It has a recapped Happ monitor, and a rebuilt trackball. I have NOS sideart for it, but I have not applied it. This machine could also still use some cosmetic work.

My main mame cabinet made from all new components (other than the coin door) D9200 monitor (in a TV case, long story), Happ P360s with Robotron handles for player 1, player 2 gets supers, happ trackball, some sort of spinner and an ergo button layout that I hate. I was not the original builder of this cabinet, but I did rewire it, install the monitor, PC and coin door and change out all the controls. It features a lot of those "Mame cabinet mistakes" that I always try to discourage people from making. Next in line is Robotron Plus, which is a complete restore/conversion installed in one of the cabinets Stern had left over when they closed their video division. It is powered by a 19 in 1 Jamma board with some titles turned off.

Greyhound's Video Trivia. This is in a Nichibutsu Crazy Climber Deluxe cabinet (unfortunately the parts to unconvert it are evenly split between terribly expensive and completely unavailable). I have two motherboards for this and 3 or 4 sets of the rom cards that hold the questions. This has been surprisingly popular at parties. Next in line is a Die Hard. I removed (but kept) the marquee box in order to fit it where it is located right now. My Die Hard motherboard gives a cart error so right now I rotate jamma boards in it. At the moment it has a Neo Geo motherboard with a Cyber Lip cart.

Here it is, William's first game, way before Defender and less common than Splat! it is Pro Tennis. This works but could use new pots in the controls and the TV set could use servicing (has a significant warmup time and the vertical hold usually has to be adjusted anew each time it warms up). I have slowly been working on the restoration of this when I get bored. Slightly visible off to the right is my test bench/big mess that exploded.

Here we have a Jamma cabaret. This plays, but it isn't quite finished as it needs an overlay, bezel art and a speaker grill. It has Break Thru installed. Next in line is a scratch built 60 in 1 cabaret designed with a low panel for sit down play. It still needs an overlay and a below the panel marquee. That little lion thing is just a wooden toy that happens to be sitting there, it isn't part of the machine.

Here is Cinematronic's Naughty Boy.

Tron cabaret with an incorrect marquee and dust all over it along with Double Up, a 1981 poker machine.
 
Wow, really eclectic blend of games there. Yours is an arcade that I'd like to visit, since most of those are games I'd likely not see anywhere else. Cool!

Well the Naughty Boy is now present in my arcade, heh. Though I'm only about 30 minutes west of there. Also those pictures are dated significantly. I can tell you that Tbbk has sold off his Tron mini and Fisherman's bait. Also the Trivia is no longer in his arcade. He's got a couple of new additions though so he should update with some new pics.
 
Dude... that game room looks amazing to me. Nice variety. If it makes you feel any better, I'm only gonna have a single cabinet, maybe two down the road if I'm lucky. :eek:)
