So after a year or so effing with the small space for my arcade, I finally have it about 80% done, took a video with a shitty handheld cam so its not the best but will have to do
-I have called it the Astron Belt Arcade and no I dont have an Astron Belt but I have a custom sign made and it in the process of finishing..
-The video cuts off at the very end.. no pins in this room, the wife only gave me this for my vids so Im hoping to expand into the spare BR in my basement, the basement I have is fricken huge, almost 2K sf finished, but she only gave me free regin with 12x12 so I made the most of it, all my pins and drivers will go elsewehere, the basements a mess as I have been painting and carpeting the arcade but its done..check it..
-thx MikeatUnion for your inspiration to upload my first video....

Looks great man! My reaction while watching:

Omg is that ice cold beer?
Omg is that TAPPER?
OMG is that RYGAR!?

Games look real clean, I want your ICB. And Tapper has got to be the sweetest looking cab ever. Yours still has the bar along the bottom too.

Nice lineup and good job with the carpet lights and decor. It's 80s awesomeness!

Thanks man, I usually have my favorite 80s music playing, I painted the speakers to blend in the walls but its too loud when my kids are going to bed, so I had to turn it down for the video. Im putting a change machine in there next to the ICB and a small TV for my 80s videos...more on that later...
 
Wow, very nice arcade :) Gives me hope for my arcade. The only thing I see really missing out of your list is a Neo Geo and a Red Tent :D

You have several games that are definitely high on my list to try and have in my collection at some point, but for now I will just have to make do with playing them in other collections.
 
Hey, you cut it off right when you were saying where the Tempest came from..........;)

Nice work on the room buddy!

nice gameroom. probably best to set a limit on size anyway, we tend to fill up any space we get. and you have a neat variety of titles, all stuff i'd love to play.
 
Looks good Jay. Yeah I wanted to hear about Tempest as well, maybe you could fill us in on the details. Anyway, nice use of your space. I'm on the same boat as well with tiny space too.
 
Thats a kickass room man! Now you just have to wait for the kids to get older so you can c onvert the bigger playroom into arcade#2 heh..

The spaces for my arcade were also limited but that didnt stop me from doing thr best i could with my space. I WISH i had the blacklight carpet like you do man. NICE GAMES TOO.
 
Nice little gameroom... I want one of those when I buy my house.. Love that Tron.. Wheres the rest of the video though..?
 
Argh! What about the Tempest??

It may not be huge, but to me that's perfect. That's exactly the sort of setup that I realistically want to have.
 
Thanks all for the feedback, Id have 30+ games if she would let me, I have 4 pins, a rush the rock, a four player mame cab too in the garage so the wife is pretty cool about it considering, its just we have so much room finally and of course I want to recreate my perfect gameroom but the 12x12 will have to work for now.... next up from the storage unit restoration wise is the Red Baron and the Star Castle, just not sure where Im putting them.
-As for the Tempest, I got this from fellow KLOVr gsealock nonworking, its really nice and is nearly perfect, I had to repair the monitor but it works great, he got it for next to nothing from some guys basement on CL for 50, looks HUO really, the manuals stickers etc were still in the bag, I play it almost daily....
 
crossbow

I love crossbow too. Still looking. None have come across my radar yet.

Nice work on the arcade. Impressive space invaders.
