Do you ever find yourself trying to squeeze just one more game into the gameroom.

Do you ever find yourself trying to squeeze just one more game into the gameroom.

Now that my Space Fury is working and I picked up Rush number 3 I dont know how I'm going to squeeze in Space Fury my gameroom is FULL and I mean FULL! I rearranged the whole Gameroom and I Was able to fit all 3 rushes in but I'm still not sure how I'm going to squeeze in Space Fury. Do you think the wife would care if I turned the corner of the gameroom and put it in the Hallway/entrance to the gameroom ;) The Deal was I can have as many as I want but I keep them in the gameroom. I though ahhh no problem...Yah right. I never thought I would aquire this many. The thing is I dont want to part with any I like them all....What to do...I suppose if I had to pick one to leave it would be Sprint 2 but I like the contrast of early Atari next to present Atari Rush the Rock and I played Sprint 2 allot as a kid,and its fully restored with an NOS control panel......Any ideas :)
 
Hey Dave...

Just a side question. Is your Avatar a picture of your home game room or is that an actual public arcade? If it's a home arcade, it looks pretty cool, any other pics?
 
Hey Dave, you got all the parts for your 3rd rush??

Always a decision, and a tough one!

I faced the same thing when I had to make room for the drivers.. and 3 new pins. I'm in the process of selling 8 cabs myself. Ouch. 4 to go. Byebye Champ Sprint, zaxxon, cabal and a few others.
 
Dude, its been the story of my life for years now!

FINALLY I have snapped into reality and have actually been deciding which few I could let go of to free up some space and load on the electrical system... My life was and still is too much arcade and not enough normalcy. LOL, if I can comfortably lose 4 cabinets it always means, in the back of my mind, I know the square footage exists somewhere, somehow and someway for another cockpit machine! :D

In all seriousness I would count your little hallway as part of the arcade, why the hell not?! Maybe put one of the classics out there or something with some eye appeal so she doesn't protest 110%

One more? I have to figure out where I'm going to put the other 20 :eek:
 
I never seem to have this problem. Actually, I have had this problem for lthe last 10 years or so, but I just flat out refuse to admit it, and keep finding homes for them. Just brought home #60 last week....not saying that a. they all work right now, or b. they are all able to be gotten at, but.....
 
Yep, and then knowing in the back of your mind that there are 4 or 5 more games that you will have to get if they become available.

That, and a wife that said I was at max capacity 3 games ago.
 
Nerbflong I have allmost all of them I Just need the Driver board now for the steering the rest of the parts are on the way.
 
Sure I fit some more in all the time who need a living room,when the game room is full and the garage is full, well it has a sega wave runner and 9 standups you have to make a sacfice.Good thing thats not a real gun in my wifes hand.
