Here is a video of my basement arcade as it sits. I will have about 3 more games by the end of December to add and at the end of Jan ill be adding blue chasing rope lights going around the top of the whole room and about 6 ft of black lights. I am also looking at black light rugs. Tell me what you think. I dont have many games but I have finally gotten rid of the junk I dont play and gotten these which are all keepers. I could fit about 8 more games in the space i have and not be over crowded.

 
Nice start.

There are no ghettos in Iowa...come to Ca sometime, we'll show you plenty...
 
Nothing wrong with your arcade. Definitely not ghetto. All of your games work!

I'm 5 for 8 in that category and most of my games are hacked up, converted, pieces of shiot.

Be proud.
 
you got centipede which i also have,you got a pacman and i want one!

not ghetto,a start in fact i would say you got a realy good head start.

your in country where cabs are what i consider to be cheap,you wont have trouble filling it up.your basement is pretty spacious.hows about adding a asteroids or asteroids deluxe,perhaps galaga?

asteroids and galaga are on my list to get
 
Your arcade is far from ghetto! you got some nice looking machines! FOR SURE. Thanks for sharing, bro. I like!
 
Ghetto gameroom, your funny. You have some good games. My gameroom is in an unfinished basement :(. It's getting there, slowly but surely one piece of drywall at a time.
 
A room full of dedicated cabs ghetto? Man you need to get out more or at least read more hellcade threads. You have some nice games, be proud of them and what you're doing in preserving their history.
 
Nice set up and machines. Hardly ghetto. I would buy the rugs/carpet and do something with the cinder block wall and ceiling before going with the black lights.
 
REPLACE THE PACMAN T-MOLDING!!!!

Very nice selection of games, I think my grail is PacMan and my cabinet is currently a splintered wreck in the garage waiting on a restore. The proper orange T-molding will make your cabinet really jump as it looks in good shape otherwise.

The ceiling is tile, and the cinder block walls are painted and dont look that bad, the floor is the stick on tile stuff and it doesn't look that bad either
