Had a great turn out saturday nite for our arcade party. I made sloppy joes, and we had chips, baked beans, beer, pop, wine coolers, fruit, cookies, and m&m's to top it off. We had great 80's music going down in the 'cade.

75% of my games are on coin play, the rest free play. I started out with $100 in quarters and kid you not I filled that bowl twice, and this didn't count the freeplay games which took in tons of credits.

There was over 30 people here at one point.

Games that got the most play were:

Sea Wolf
Captain Kid EM gun game
Battlezone
Wizard of Wor
Pole Position
Sky Soldiers
Side Arms
Tapper

Least amount of plays:
Sinistar
Robotron
Galaxian
Defender
Gorf
Space Invaders

I apologize for the blurry pics. It was the best I could do without the flash.

Hopefully you also took the time to cherish the sounds of your arcade. I love that ambience. And when its your own arcade, even better.

Looks like it was a great party!!

I did exactly that. I walked around down there and just listened...it was really awesome to hear them going all together. At one point I think 17 or 18 of my 24 down there were being played at the same time. It was a thing of beauty I tell ya!
 
looks AWESOME!

unbelievable that the true classics got the least amount
of play.

good job dude
 
I STILL say the Creepshow poster makes your entire room! Just like walking down your stairs and time traveling back to the 80's

LOVE IT!!

man, next time you'll have to do a sound recording and post it for others to hear!
 
its cool to see everyone enjoying,playing your games and like SuperBee said hearing your arcade. great pics, looked like a good time
 
That looked like a blast! Once again you have a really sweet gameroom. I'd love to have a battlezone mini like that.
 
very awsome man, ill have to do a ARCADE PARTY myself...Ive been meaning to do one


I was wondering, how much POWER do these things take to run? Like if your running 24 machines for say 3 hrs, how much power is that on your electric bill?? what does it amount to anyone know??
 
Looks like a good time. Extra props for the Creepshow 2 poster. Cheesy movie, but love it. Love the lake slime story.

I really don't know how much power they take. I'm sure it makes a difference on my electric bill, as I have them all on more often than just having a party. But in the last few years our bill has gone up at an alarming rate, and its not because of the games being on. Its the greedy electric company trying to keep up with the Jones's(big oil, Walmart, etc.) The games don't double my electric bill by any means, just not too sure how much they use...
