I know my collection is not as nice as some of yall guys but it makes me happy. Some of these need monitor work and ill be taking care of that shortly and some need cosmetic work. I will fix some issues but I do like the age look of the games. This is how I played them and how I enjoyed them. Here is my 90's arcade row

Nice setup. I like Street Fighter 1 a lot, especially the music/sounds in the game which are awesome. Plus it's uber tough. I play it in MAME occasionally still and have yet to beat Sagat on 1 credit but damn I've come close lol.
 
Awesomeness.

Just the way I remember it, BITD.

Just because you don't have a museum of perfectly restored classics doesn't mean you can't be proud and happy with whatcha got.

FWIW, my arcade has games in similar condition, and I love it too. They key thing here is they all WORK. That already puts us ahead of many of the others on this forum :)

Both the street fighters need monitor work and the neo geo board is not working so i have tetris in it. Street fighter 1 is in the worse shape but it is the oldest of the bunch, the monitor would look good but doesnt have any blue
 
whats on the tekken control panel a roll of tape?

The set up looks awesome man, I grew up in this era and wouldnt change a thing!

Yup a roll a tape because i was taping the street fighter 1 tmolding because its falling apart, I havnt ordered new molding yet
 
Nice gameroom. Think ya need 1 vert JAMMA in there for some shooters!
 
Looks great! Having grown up in the JAMMA days and none of the arcades really having pristine games, I applaud you sir :D
 
very cool man yeah i want to add a street fighter to my collection but overpriced in my area imo
 
Nice collection. Some of my favorite titles from growing up in there. Seems like most people on here like the older stuff, but the 90's was the height of my arcade gaming (born in '82)
 
Looks great man, all my games are clunkers too. They play nice but cosmetically most of them are in original condition. Dont try to fix them all up at once. Get them all working and then one at a time pull one out and fix it up. Little stuff like a good cleaning, new t molding, new buttons can make a world of difference. I tend to redo the control panels and install new t molding first since its easy and makes a huge difference in the looks of a machine.
