Summer is coming to a close and so is my game room line up. This will be my final change and then I will begin to focus on getting all the parts out of here. I just got some of these games in or will be coming in shortly that I am considering changing out with my current games. If this was your situation what games would you honestly change out. If you never played it dont let that be the reason for change. All my games (IMO) are in good to very good condition. so it really wouldnt be an issue as far as condition.

I was thinking about the playchoice dual monitor also. Maybe the ranger mission even though I wanted some kind of shooter. These are my top choices to add whirlwind, pacmania,zoo keeper,mario widebody, tin star,mad planets.
 
Sorry marble madness is not going anywhere and I love classics but still have love for Tekken 5 and my Naomi universal cabs. I might consider getting rid of one of them. But it will have to a last resort.

I say keep all the incoming games as every one is either rare,really cool,or a combination of the two.

The games on my outgoing list...the Millipede is there because you have a Centipede.Star Castle..eh...don't care for the game plus they aren't too hard to find.Phoenix is an okay game,but not a keeper in my book.Original Pong is cool for it's place in gaming history,but that's about it.The last four games on the list....eh,they are not classics and could probably be found a lot easier than any of the incoming ones.

Ok.. well... I will take the dual pc 10 then...

Out with the commando and in with something way way better, and also virtua tennis? c'mon get rid of that too. You need an outrun or a ninty or possibly a gals panic 2 lol
 
The Virtua Tennis 2 and Virtua Fighter 4 are in Naomi universale cabs so they play a lot of other naomi games either on gd rom or cartridge. I think I will get rid of my Playchoice 10 dual monitor. I no my Star Castle wont be going no where. I thinking about Pong now also even though it doesn't take up as much space as a regular machine. I might get rid of one of one my naomi cabs. If I took out my DJ equipment that would open three slots, but not sure if I want to do that. This is really frustration.
 
It may be tough to part with this one, but I'd move the Multi-Williams. Looks like you already have most of the games covered with dedicated cabs. You would just be giving up Stargate, Sinistar (which isn't really playable), Bubbles, and Splat (which no one cares about anyway)



IN: Whirlwind Pinball - you need a pin
OUT: Restored Hyper Sports - swap the board as needed in your T&F cocktail
OUT: Zoo Keeper
Out: Dedicated Pacmania
IN: Mario Wide Body - fun for two players
IN: Tin Star - how many people can have a Tin Star, Wild Western, Front Line row?
IN: Mad Planets - put next to Q*Bert
IN: Kickman - just a fun game

OUT:
1. Commando - just doesn't scream classic to me like the other games
2. Multi-Williams - covered with other games
3. Punch Out - while it does look good next to SPO, not different enough in game play to keep
Playchoice 10 Dual Monitor - covered in the Countertop version
4. Virtua Tennis 2 (Naomi Universal Cab) - not that fun a game
5. Virtua Fighter Final Tuned (Naomi Universal Cab) - fighter game covered with Tekken 5
 
Spyridon the Multi-Williams was diffently one of my first choices that came up and the only reason I wouldn't want to get rid of it because of what you said (would be tough to let go) I did a lot to that machine and even put in a switcher to have it play an original moon patrol pcb. You also though the same as I with the Hypersports. Trust me a did think about it and now that you said it I'm rethinking it over. This feedback is diffently helping me out. I few that where mentioned I will not take out because I personally like them and not worried about others liking them, but some of you are on the same lines as me for a few of them. I guess I'm trying to make sure I'm not making a big mistake by changing out some of my games. I guess I will be making a new for sale list this week. Putting prices on these are going to be another problem that I will have to handle being that most are restored with new monitors or NOS parts. But I think I'll be able to handle that part, just figure which games to let go is whats mind-boggling.

Add on to your house and keep them all.

In any case, I know I wouldn't let the Zoo Keeper go, nor the Mario or Whirlwind.
 
The Whirlwind I keeping for sure. The Mario Bros I was on the fence with and Zoo Keeper is most likely a keeper.

You should really only post the games you are on the fence about moving out. Take the keepers that are definitely staying and let people vote on the ones that are maybe going out. I think that the Ranger Mission/ Sports Shooting is a game that should definitely stay, a shooting game is a must in any gameroom imo.
