Rate Your Own Collection

[M1A]

i'd give mine a 3/4 nowhere near as big as some, no basements in florida

If we move from Cali, where there are no basements, we are going somewhere where I can have a 2000 square foot basement. I'd love to live in Florida for tax purposes, but man, I can't imagine leaving California and at least not getting a phat basement.

I give my collection a 4. It will go to 6 when I get my Star Wars working and 7 when I finish the restore on Pac and Centipede. Still need a Tron, a laser disc, a cocktail and a racing game.

I would have to say a 6 ..used to be much higher, but after becoming an operator several years ago some of mine have shamefully been robbed for parts needed or just not played as much as they used to be.

my games a 3 , 3 working and 9 projects in various stages of fuckall done on them. still to many grails to find too

the Casa del booze I give an 8. its a shithole, pure cheese decorating, but it seems to be all my friends favorite dive bar. cant understand the garage hate, love having my games room out there. was going to do a dedicated arcade in the big spare room downstairs but just got finished soundproofing it and setting my amps up. Drummers bringing his kit over saturday and the guitarist is bringing over his powered mixer and speakers, made the jam space/recording space I have always wanted

My what???

I would rate my collection and my arcade an 8 out of 10. I have my favorite game of all time Star Castle. I have a nice mix of pins to games 2 out of 10. Both pins have meaning to us - Stern Stars was in my wifes grandparnent bar in Nebraska and we have photos of her playing it back in the 70's and Taxi which we both enjoyed while attending college. I have the first game I ever remember playing and it's a mechanical adding to the great mix - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfIB1sebeXo - my Midway Stunt Pilot. I have two great atari games including the rare Liberator and also one of my grails Atari Video Pinball. A great galaxian style shooter in Super Moon Cresta. Another one of my all time fav's in Omega Race. And a high quality Mame cab - my Hanaho Arcade PC. And finally I added a pristine Donkey Kong to the collection which provides some of the best arcade sounds ever. And all my game work and are in fantasic condition.

I have my arcade decked out with some blackligt carpet, a super cool laser start projector and a small Ipod juke box that pumps out the 70's and 80's tunes providing a great arcade experience. All this in my single car garage.

I would say 1. Sadly my 3rd floor apartment with no elevator has limited me to very few games.

I would rate mine a 4 right now because I have games in my basement and my bar. Once my basement is redone, that ranking is going way up. The only reason I rated it as high as 4 is because of the Guinness on tap at the house.

 

[GameRoomKid]

I'm gonna say 5. Although I only have 4 games (3 arcades and 1 pin), its the thought of me walking into the game room every time and seeing my dream of owning my own machines which makes me happy all the time. And even though I don't have any really grails of yet.. I'm happy with my small but fun collection. As long as I get fun out of it, that's all that matters to me.

 

[WadeLanham]

I'd rate mine as an 8 or 9. I have almost every game on my must-have list, I only have one "filler" game, they all work, all but a couple are restored, I have only 1 project in the queue, and I only really want a couple more games before calling it quits.

I will still play them, fix up the room itself more, and probably surf these forums, but I'm just about done with the buying/trading/selling/restoring part of this hobby...

I would give mine an 8...

All of my cabs are in ok to good shape, and working. Would like to get my Lifeforce in a dedicated Konami cab. Want to aquire a Joust pretty badly...

Only a few things need some work, some cabs may need touch ups.

[RedWolfJC]

I'd give my collection maybe a 4 or 5, still have a lot that I want to add... I'll be content to get the gameroom and collection up to a 7 or 8, that's fine with me, I have no intention of building a Hirschbergian mecca of awesome.

Side note. Someone should start another post of who here has the best gameroom. I would but I'm too lazy...

 

[ArcRevival]

I would say about a 8.75
Most of my games are restored and there are only about 3 games left on my must have list. Everything after that will be gravy.

 

[mspaeth]

-3...

Too spread out and unplayable... It's in 5 states.

 

[Sniper colle]

Id rate mine a 4. Most in my collection are working but BADLY need to start restoring them. I can't play my DK! It's just too dam ugly right now. OCD I guess. If I had them restored I would probably say an 8.

 

[m_mcgovern]

I'd rate my collection a 7 and my "game room" a 6-7. I am happy with the games I have considering my space, but some still need work (Warlords, SWCP), and I have a few projects (mame <gasp>) to complete, too. Right now my arcade area is not really usable. I'm getting closer...just not as fast as I'd like, too. I think once my games are complete, I'll be approaching a 9 for my collection (in terms of my satisfaction, mostly).
