Today was a brisk 75 degree day and I had the day off from both school and work. Hah! So I took advantage of that.

I have a 2-car garage and normally, most all the games are stacked all to one side of the garage where they lay dormant during the colder winter months. That way, we can park in the garage. But today, that all changed. All the games were pulled out, dusted, tuned up, bulbs replaced, and rearranged. I have a beautiful Atari row on one side, and the rest of the games on the other. And the best part is.....EVERY GAME I OWN WORKS! *knocks on wood*

I will be slimming the collection down in the next coming months (Hoping to sell TARG and GORF once I finish the restoration, and possibly Popeye and Simpsons), but for now, it feels great to actually PLAY my games and enjoy a cold brewski.

Looks good man! Congrats on them all working. Sometimes that's not an easy thing to accomplish. And hey, don't sell that Gorf! Just kidding.....
 
looking good, drew! you gotta add some more vectors, though!

btw, what's that cab with the blue lit marquee on the very left end of the atari row next to paperboy? can't tell for the life of me.

It is Puzzle Bobble 4 in a Double Dragon cabinet. Not Atari, but I couldnt fit it anywhere else!
 
Very nice Arcade, that GORF looks really nice all lite up! I really like the Pole I and Pole II beside eachother. Nice to have them all working, i am close but not there yet. One day i hope.
 
Uhhh, where's the design? I just see a garage full of games. The games are only part of it. Get something up on the walls for God's sake!


*runs away looking over his shoulder and giggling*
 
This has to be fake...

A Pole Position AND Pole Position II both WORKING...:eek:

Looks great! Nice line up of games.

Damnit, Brien beat me to it! :rolleyes:

+1 to everything he said.

Don't listen to Phet. I think one of his houseboys must have gotten on his computer and wrote that...?

You need a Josie in your arcade, though.
 
What a difference a day can make if you can make use of all of it. I know your back was probably pretty tired moving every game around...mine sure does that's why I don't do it very often.

You're not too far away - if you ever go west towards Redding, be sure to drop me a line and stop by!
