Finally got the Centipede I had been looking for!!! Got it up in Calgary yesterday, and it's a beauty. The original sideart, marquee and bezel are in great shape, all I need to replace are the worn CPO and the blue cardboard around the monitor which has some bad spots. The trackball was FUBAR, so luckily I had the rebuild kit already. 20 minutes later, she was cleaned up and playing. That thing weighs a TON compared to the Ms. Pacman!!!!

Met a couple of fellow KLOVers which was pretty cool too!!!

There are too many Centipedes in the world. Call me cranky. But This is the game I always see no matter where I go. Now if I was going to add this to my colection it better be minty and free. :)
 
That looks really sharp, as does that MsPac! I like the blue molding on the MsPac. What kind of sideart do you have on it? Is it twobit or another? Seems more vibrant than most I see, though I guess it just might be your camera (seems like the Centipede is more vibrant than usual too)?

It is Phoenix Arcade sideart, and it has very rich color to it, I'm really happy with the quality!!
 
Very nice looking cabs. I also like how Raydeen is chilling in the next room!

Heh, that was like a little mini-klov reunion yesterday. It was nice meeting you as well as Rabidcat on that chilly and windy Saturday afternoon.

Anyway, have fun with your new 'pede and try not to spend too much time asking yourself what cab to pick up next.....
 
Nice

Very nice Centipede, I picked one up a couple weeks ago. Still has original artwork and is in very good condition, I don't need to do a thing to it other than replace the CO. Congrats on the new addition.

Glad you're happy with the game, enjoy!!!
 
A PP table?
That table is awesome!
Thanks, it turned out pretty decent. I had a buddy that builds custom bikes make that for me several years ago. I would make some design changes to the next one, but have not found a local welder yet to make a few more. And btw, all the parts are removable for the purists ;-)

Here are the others! I have no Godzilla though...

Very nice! Those look like they are in really nice shape. Looks like they have all their weapons to, which is sweet. I need to pick up a Raydeen one of these days, but they have gotten quite pricey. I have a lot of small ones and several Voltrons I need to put out in the gameroom one of these days. I have been trying to collect the little arcades for awhile as well- you have probably been outbidding me! Looks like a nice space you have there!

Thanks! Yeah, I was obsessed with finishing those collections, and when they were done, I thought I could get a rest from my OCD....but no!!! I discovered full-sized machines!!! It is worse than ever...but also more fun!!
 
I totally know the feeling, I am just glad each time I come home and the locks have not been changed. Wifey is starting to get a bit concerned about this obsession. Nice that you are teaching your little one the proper game roots. My little 4-yr old likes to play my games, and in particular likes Arkanoid- she is even better than a few of my friends!
 
Looks nice my friend! Hope you enjoy playing it. An oldie but definately a goodie!
