I've added 3 new games to my basement arcade since my last youtube video: Battlezone cabaret, Sea Wolf, and Captain Kid (EM gun game from 1966). Click on the youtube link in my signature for the updated video. Here's some updated pics after I rearranged everything. I dedicate the video to all POW/MIA(s) and veterans of this country past and present. Enjoy!

NICE !!!!!


Love the Moon Patrol. One day I will own one.....one day....

nice collection but what is that under all your games? wood,carpet?
I'd remove that and put them on the floor.
 
Man, I am so jealous! Moon Patrol, Gorf, Battlezone mini, Missile Command...you really have an awesome collection of games!
 
Come on John - you don't even need that Gorf anymore, you've got the HS by a mile. You should just give that to me :)
 
Nice collection. The colors in your game room are great for day or night also. Think Ill be stealing a few ideas from you when I get the basement finished.
 
Very nice collection. The TRON stands out only if because it's the only non-very nice looking game with the wore side art... any plans on restoring or are you going to keep it stock?

Its plywood stands with strips of carpet; so I can slide them out without scratching the floor; and also those platforms saved my games from flood damage 2 years ago. Without them I would've had a lot of ruined cabinets...

Yeah my Tron is really beat up. I've got mixed feelings about it. It really does look like shit, but I like the fact that the wear on the machine is a direct physical link to the people who played it BITD. Just think how many people stood there with their hands on the game watching someone play it, wearing down the stickers and paint like that. I really would love to see the art replaced and new paint and edge protectors on there, though. I'm too busy buying games to justify spending the money on Tron yet. I think in the end I will take a stab at restoring it.
 
Nice lineup. You've got some great classics there! Where's the ribbon that should be hanging on the Gorf, like the prize pig at the State Fair?
