Arcade Games at My Work

[nesjess]

Just thought I'd post some bad phone camera photos of a couple of games that Prairied1ll0 put together and sold to my work. My boss wanted a relaxing atmosphere and thought these would be a nice addition.

Ms. Pac-Man (48-1) and Street Fighter II: CE (w/ HF). Both machines are getting a lot of play and it's definitely nice to take a break and play a game. NOTE: The Ms. Pac cab was a trashed JAMMA converted cab that he restored very quickly with paint and cabinet art decals. He was on a deadline.

So thanks to Prairied1ll0 for his hard work and for making my work a little more tolerable.

Are you going to draw megaman on the wall in between them?

Haha. Good call. But that's only for the break room. My boss said they are going to do some type of gaming wall art or something related to really liven up that area.

 

[OldTymeToys]

That's awesome!

I couldn't show you how bad the Ms Pac started off as cause it was painted black and had a previous piece of side art that has massively sticky adhesive that would not want to come off.

The HS5 started off like this.

I couldn't just let a Dynamo go this way...

My Z-Back looked about like that when I started. Had those big ass holes in front for guns.

 

[SuperGunGuru]

Nice work, especially on fixing up the Dynamo!

 

[RedlandMan]

my bosses never gave me a break room like that

That's actually not our break room. That's just one of the open walls in our office. There are guys sitting in work stations directly across from those games so you can imagine how tempting they are. Haha.

Here is what our break room looked like about a month ago. It looks much different now that people have drawn more on it.

This is my contribution as referenced in osver's post:

Those games came out really sweet! Great job on the resto! It's funny this thread was started as my boss is having a company party this Saturday and asked me to have some games for the event.

 

[nesjess]

Haha. Cool!

Did you pick the games to bring? How did you choose that combination?

My Boss was invited to a family birthday party at my home and he pretty much knows what games I have so those were the one's he enjoyed playing, BTW cool that were going to hook up for CAX this year with Trev and finally getting to meet you

For sure! The CAX Train is ready to roll! WOOT!

For some reason, when Trevor called it that, I imagined this:

Yeah, fabulous work on that Ms. Pac! That thing was indeed a basket case!

Thanks steve... your $50 cab went to a good home. I actually combined it with a $75 superman/Ms Pac from the Fresno sale to have a true Ms Pac monitor and a back door.

That's AWESOME! We have been trying to beat the game with continues. It's not EASY! AMAZING! Love that photo.

Haha. Actually, John accidentally set it to no continues when he setup the game, but it worked out for the better.

Now, guys can shoot for a high score and have the challenge of beating the game on one credit. Not an easy task for noobs.

 

[SuperGunGuru]

Man I can't remember for sure if I ever beat any of the SF2 games on just one credit. It seems like I always blow it against one of the boss characters, even if it's something stupid like only losing to Balrog.
