As the title says, let's build a list of MUST DO things for an arcade game enthusiast.
Categories:
-things to own
-interesting ways to acquire things
-interesting experiences
-repair projects

I have my own kind of unofficial list I just keep in my head, and I've pretty much crossed them all off. I've done and/or experienced almost every 'thing' one can experience.
 
- at one point or another own a Pac or Ms. Pacman
- make a game pickup in a remote or crime-ridden area where your life may be in jeopardy

I've done this one already.... drove 3 hours into Cincinnati having no clue where the "bad" part of town was... well I think I hit it dead center. This was the address I arrived at... my 3 player off road was in there...

I want this to happen to any KLOVer that uses the term 'bucket list'.

Yes, I just slapped myself too...

Not a big fan of any "lists".
 
1a) Make a pickup on a really good deal, only to find that it is the p*ssed off wife/GF/SO selling it for revenge.
1b) Have the husband/BF/SO come home while you are loading up.
1c) Bonus points for talking him into honoring the price and helping to load. :D

2a) Finding out that, really was just a fuse.
2b) Finding out that it was just a fuse that needed to be snapped lla the way in. :D

3) Making a pickup while in fear for your life (1B can qualify).

4) Finding something really strange in the new cabinet.

5) Putting $600+ into restoring one of your favorite games and then having a CL (or KLOV) jackhole offer you $150 for it.

6) Walking away from a SuperAuctions with a Gauntlet DL for under $150, and all it needed was some monitor tweaks and to be put on freeplay.

7) Agreeing not to buy any more games until you can sell some off for more space and then sneaking 1 more into the dining room and 3 more into the garage...(this can qualify for #3 above).

stop to purchase an arcade game only to find a beautiful woman that shares the same interest........... needless to say ending with me not leaving til the next day and smiling. lol
 
1) Lay your hand across something 'shocky' while adjusting a monitor, leaving an actual burn mark
2) Lay your hand across a multi fuse block in the bottom of the cabinet, while it's on.
3) Have mouse droppings rain down when you remove a marquee or speaker grill from the upper cabinet
 
Pull the suction cup off while the game is on.

Get machines out of a barn with wasp nests and mice droppings.

Buy things from a "warehouse dealer" once in your life =P

I don't even see any graffiti or crack baggies on the ground. The bad part of Cincinnati looks like the nice part of Philly. :D
 
1) Find a mint HUO Quantum from a little old lady who just wants it gone, but also wants to "make sure it goes to someone who would appreciate it."

2) Finish the Relayer project. (and all the rest of the projects for that matter!)

3) Make it to CAX one year.

4) Make it to Videotopia. (I'll be scratching that one off next month!)

5) Finish the garage arcade and finally have a get-together.
