I finally got the time to get enough games going at once to get some footage today. I don't think I have any titles that you guys would consider the best but I enjoy them all as do family and friends. I have a few other cabs but they are out of order so I didn't bother to film them. There is a mini Turbo cabaret in there but he's too small to see past the other cabs lol


This is some video I shot since you can't really read some of the marquees

I envy your Rastan, Shinobi and Contra. It looks like an arcade I would have played in back in 87'. Ah memories.

Exactly why I got those three. When I was around 7 years old there was a small convenience store up the street from my grandmothers house that had a Contra. My cousin and I spent half of our summers at her house and we would do yard work to earn money so we could go play the game. They also sold penny candy, when's the last time you guys have had that? lol We would bring rolls of pennies and buy lbs of candy every week. I found out last year that sadly the owner that we knew died back in the late 90's and the place was sold. I bought shinobi because I played it a ton when I was younger since I owned it for the Sega master system. I played Rastan maybe twice back in the mid 80's and I liked it so I just got it. I always thought this game never got much love but apparently there are some that like it. I cannot get past level 3 for the life of me, even on easy!!

That is a total late 80's arcade. Nice work. All you're missing is an Arch Rivals and an Outrun.

X2!!! but I don't think an AR will fit through my doorway. Outrun is an absolute must have especially being that I am a car buff. That game and Rad racer were the two racers you could not pull me off of. There's just something about those red Ferrari's.

Thanks man!! I appreciate that, and thank you all for the comments. Anyone of the Klov brother's are always welcome for gaming. I was always afraid that if I didn't have a Tron, Ms pac, or Star wars, my collection would be deemed unworthy.
 
Where's your Operation Wolf and Double Dragon? Man, '86-90 was actually when I spent the most time in the arcades, because I had friends that could drive and I got my license in '88. The NES also inspired me to go out and play the true versions of the carts I loved and vise versa. I remember Vs. SMB scaring the shit out of me because of the differences and difficulty level compared to the NES version.

Agreed. My collection is about half 90's titles I grew up on but the others are early 80's classics. It's all about collecting what you like. :)

I have stayed away from every OW I have come across due to hearing about the constant problems with the gun mechanism and the sensor. If I came across one fully working I would jump on it if the price were right, and if I had 2 other people to help because I hear it is heavy as hell. Everyone that I have found for sale has the same issues all gun related. I sold my Double dragon back in 2006 because I was moving and had no place to store it, that was the second cab I ever got and now I have to find one again. I feel that I do need a sidescrolling fighter. I would love to have a Final Fight cab.
