Anyone have a Galaga/Galaxian Row?

[Tighe]

My Galaga & Galaxian are at the ends of a row including Gyruss and Joust. I have a Galaga 88 board and would love a dedicated Gaplus, but something would have to go first as I am out of room now.

Gaplus really is a handsome cabinet, I can't recommended it enough! I would probably lose the Joust for it.

Here's a pic of my "GalagaCade" taken with my phone. No room for a Galaxian on the wall! I actually have the PCB of Namco Classics Collection Vol. 1 running in a Dynamo cabinet. It's great playing Galaga Arrangement with two players. Like Galaga 88 you can "continue" until you're done. The last levels are nuts getting the boss bee.

Interesting you put '88 and its ugly cabinet in the middle to hide it! Great idea! Although I want to mine in chronological order, but that is because I am insane in the membrane.

The galaga 88 cab is not ugly!

Atari with the cardboard bezel, lame artwork, 8-way joy, almost vertical monitor, and Centipede bastard child cabinet? It is nowhere near as nice as Galaxian/Galaga/Gaplus and looks out of place.

Also, wondering if Gorf should be included in a Galaga/Galaxian wall?

Ah your just jealous. Now I am going to convert mine to a 60-1 and post it for $1200.00

LOL! I have been tempted to buy a full cabinet several times, but I really want to do this custom cabinet as if Midway never lost the license.

Hmm. Here are the choices for why I took a dark pic and put the 88 in between the others:

A. Too see what my new Galaga 88 marquee looked like in the dark.
B. The cardboard Atari bezel is sagging and needs repair so it is off the machine. I ordered a new one from Arcadeshop hoping I could make it work but the dimensions are too off. I think it is for a centipede. So, off to my next attempt. I might just cut a new one.
C. To hide the "ugly/in process" 88 cabinet. It won't be so bad when it's done and I have repro side art as well.
D. All of the above.

The answer is D!

So I was planning on adding to one end of my row, but looks like it will be going on the other
