I do believe I have my arcade exactly where I want it! It sure took a lot of time and effort, as well as a lot of work to get everything running. The personal feeling I get when I walk into my arcade is worth every minute I've spent working on my games, relentless searching, and the endless hours traveling to pick games up. Every game has a story to go along with it, each unique in it's own way.

I couldn't be happier with my lineup and the games I have, I have so many games that I love that I have a hard time picking what I'm going to play when I go in, and I could spend endless hours and never get bored.. which was my goal all along.

Non-arcade collectors are always very impressed, but a lot of them have never heard of a lot of the grail titles I have in my arcade... such as Major Havoc, Quantum, and Reactor.. so even though I have some amazing games, a lot of visitors spend most of their time on the Arcade Legends machine (which is why it's there) and the pinball machines. :)

My space is a little small, but I get the most out of it! :)

I was amazed that you managed to fit everything in your arcade and then you walk into the second room! WOW!! I'm impressed!!!

It's actually not as tight as it looks in the video, there's room for someone to be on a game and for someone to get by the person on the game, and that's about it... but it indeed does maximize the space.

Before I had the pinball machines in there there was a lot more open room, and I had the Reactor (smaller cab) by the front door as you walk in then all the walls full of games, and it worked great and there was a lot more room.. but my goal was to maximize the space and put everything I could in there... and I have too many games that I love to leave anything out.
 
Wow! The first room is cramped. Great games, though. It must suck pulling one out to work on it. Very nice selection. You should have made the second room a MK only arcade.
 
I like it! Drooling over the grails as well. I haven't seen a real Major Havoc or Quantum (just the ones on my Arcade Legends), so that was a treat to see yours in the video. You guys have such cool carpeting for these rooms (you must not have cats). I was surprised to see the second room! How awesome is that? :D

Did I spy two MK1s or is that a reflection?

your arcade room just gos to show how many cabs you can fit into a small amount of space.far too many people strew their cabs all over as they try to fit the cabs in whatever space they find rather than making space ie:a dedicated room,then complain about how they cant fit cabs into their homes.

now i know i can get all my 8 cabs into the flat i live in with no probs,thats when the last 3 are finished.
;)
 
Where did you get that awesome carpet? That's the best pattern for an arcade that I've seen.

I'm really envious of your ceiling height. I only have about a foot above my games, so no room for artwork (other than marquees).
