I thought about putting some of my machines outside in the front yard for the trick or treaters to play on Halloween nignt. But instead I will be making a full on Haunted House.



I made this for my Haunted House.


Download it for your own Halloween festivites and feel free to spread the link anywhere you see fit.


Enjoy! :D


Thanks and happy Halloween!

I usually just put a black curtain around whatever games I have in the garage and set up a black light. This year will be Pac-Man and Space Fury. If I really want to scare the kids, I'll bring out Port-Man!

No machines, but I am doing this:

We capture video in the Haunted House and then post videos.
 
Every year, one of the guys I work with puts on a haunted maze in his backyard. The last two years, I have brought games to put out in front of the entrance area. Last year I had my Pac-Man there and kids were all over it for the 5 hours it was on. The previous year I had Ms. Pac and the Super Pac cocktail there. This year, if I go, it will probably be Pac. I was thinking of bringing my Megatouch and disabling all the games except for Monster Madness but I don't know if I will yet.
 
Wow, is that your site? Cool. Is it running every weekend?

Yep.

The Haunted house opened last Thursday and will be running for the next 4 weeks Th - Sun, and open Monday the 31st.

I upload all the best videos every night.

I've been doing the video capture for them since 2000. The last 2 years we've been publishing them on the Internet.

EDIT: Here is the web site for the Haunted House: http://chambersoffear.com/

If you make it down to Phoenix in October, you need to go. Best haunted house in the valley.

If I do it again this year, it will be the 4th year in a row. Each year I get more kids/parents. I still have that CD from the first year. I play it non stop the 3-4hrs I have the party. It really sets the mood. :004_sbiggrin:
 
I did this a couple of years ago. Had a path lit beside the house up to the walk out basement arcade. Everyone got 6 tokens and the crowd got bigger throughout the night. At one point one wife yelled in to her husband "I'm leaving and taking the kids and the car with me" Guy yelled back " I having the game of my life" He then noticed his wife walking out and gave it a few seconds and she didn't come back so he high tailed it out of there thanking me for doing this and that this was the coolest thing he had done in a long time.

Unfortunatly the fun ended when my wife read me the riot act. She is a school teacher for the local school and she could have been fired for having students in her house. I promised not to do it again :mad:

Bummed me not to do it last year. I may briing some games out to the driveway if the weather is good. I miss how cool that night was.
 
I'm going to start the tradition this year.

I'm in California so we have a little better weather for this. I'm just praying for no rain. I don't want people inside of my garage so I'll be moving everything outside. (weather permitting)

My current lineup I'm going to use.

Kids and family Fun:
* Namco Fishing Treasure (prize crane) Loaded with popcorn balls.
* Short Galaxian dressed Vert Arcade SD board
* Neo 19 (Nightmare in the Dark, Metal Slug, Puzzle Bobble, Magical Drop 3)

Adults
* Ghosts n Goblins (in my Double Dragon)
* Neo Geo 4-25v3 (Metal Slug 3, Mark of the Wolves, Neo Bomberman, Blazing Star)
* Mario Bros WB
* Robotron MW booting to Sinistar! (JROK)
* Golden Axe RODA
* Operation Thunderbolt
* Outrun

I'm trying to get my Virtua Fighter running so I can put Zombie Revenge in it.

I may setup two Consoles systems on TVs

I'm hoping to be able to get my HD cab in by then also. This means Pacman Championship Edition, Galaga Legions and SSF4AE.
I have thoughts about renting a trailer in order to bring back my Virtua Cop 2 running House of the Dead.
