I know I enjoy watching videos of everyone's collection - so I thought I would shoot one quick of some of the games in my basement... This is just a small part of my collection but you get the idea... hopefully someday I will have a basement (or gameroom) about 3 times the size of the one I have to work with right now. For the record, when my wife and I got into this house a few years back the basement was completely unfunctional and nasty... I gutted it out and fixed it up to what it is now. It's a fully functional small arcade!

Wow! Simply wow. You have a GREAT collection. Half of the games you have are games that I want. Your setup also looks awesome. Nice job.. And thank you for sharing!
 
thanks everyone - it really is great to get some feedback on a collection that has taken me some time, $$, and work to put together. I do appreciate the kind words.
 
Awesome arcade, great vid. Some great titles in there too!
I'm jealous. Wish i had the room, the setup, and the games that you do. Looks great.

Green Bay, Huh? Good luck on Saturday fellow Wisconsinite. (I'm in the Milwaukee area). Holla if you need to make some room, I may have room for one. ;) (actually, I'd love to see that in person but buying a game would be a good excuse)
 
What a stunning selection of games......and the Jukebox is a nice touch :)

How long has it taken to build this collection?

I wish there was somewhere like this in the UK
 
If you're impressed with that video, just wait until he shares what the rest of his collection looks like. That video is very impressive, but what he isn't showing is even more impressive!
 
I hope to one day have a nice collection like this!! It's nice to see a Wizard of Wor in someones collection too!! Fun game!
 
Thank you guys so much - I do appreciate it. To answer the question about how long its taken.... I purchased my first arcade game when I was in 8th grade actually... I'm a few years older than that now (cough cough!).

In the past I have spent most time restoring games and getting them up and running more than actually hosting game get togethers and social events.
In 2013 I really want to share these games with other people that have classic arcades as a hobby. My hopes is that collectors from all over would get a chance to see my collection in person rather than through pictures or video. More information on that to come.
