Halloween-Arcade ... starting a tradition - list help

[back2the80s]

Looks great Johnnie! You know with all the hard work you put into this it's worthwhile at the end just to see people playing and enjoying these great classics! I didn't turn my games on this year but had my Gameroom door open watching the monday night football game with my brother and freinds on my projector screen. It was funny to see people and kids just stand and say wow what a Gameroom! I may have a Halloween party next year ,it was just too much going on with the family this year to have one. BTW I will give you a call sometime in the next couple of days to deliver that game for you

As a fan of horror games, here's what I could potentially bring to a party.
Night Slashers
Haunted Castle
Splatterhouse
Vs. Castlevania
Vampire Savior
Scared Stiff
Freddy:Nightmare on Elm Street
Mary Shelly's Frankenstein
Neo Geo Ghost Pilots
Aliens Vs. Predator
Aliens

Of course most of the non pinball games are just boards that can be swapped into my various Jamma cabs.

Games that I am still looking to add to the collection are:
Zombie Raid(my favorite gun game and a kick ass cab to boot)
Tales from the Crypt
Monster Bash
Party Monsters
Funhouse(when the clock hits midnight, it gets eerie IIRC)
Addam's Family
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Nightmare in the Dark (Neo Geo)
Ghostlop (Neo Geo)
ANY of the super cool horror themed EM games from the 70s back)
Chiller
Vampire Savior 2

after doing it this year I found that I just had TOO many games out there. If the tradition holds I'm really going to ignore the theme of Halloween and just go for games that people will play. My mini's were popular just cause you could choose something you like. Most of the time the Neo's were running Metal Slug as to be expected.

GnG got almost no play. Outrun was loved by all... Kids just want to drive. I think the Shaker needs to be turned off. I'm pretty fond of this Rave Racer.

Spiderman in my Golden Axe RODA got little play also. Virtua Fighter 4 got lots of play just cause it's pretty impressive looking. I think I would put Soul Calibur out instead if I had a "REDO."

Not really afraid of the NOIR getting jacked up as I can get parts for dirt cheap. My eye was on the Neo19's hood as it's the weak point. People were generally repectful. Many parents in the neighbor hood know it's my hobby, and my thing. They've been curious for years and this was a big SHOWING to all of them. Smart people don't want to ruin it. I had like Zero issues w/ vistors. Two of my games started acting up in the middle so I was POd about that. I had a couple of pot lucks where games where on in the last 2 months and had no issues.

One masked fellow I couldn't place asked my what I thought my Moppet conversion was worth. I played dumb saying that I bought the shell for $50 and did everything myself so "I dunno." I didn't want to come out and say... It's worth well over $1000 and you are welcome to break in and steal it since it's easy to cart off quickly....
