"Do not clean!" in spanish! We have cleaners clean the house, and I don't want them touching my arcade machines.

Gary's Omega Race is the shit. Every time I see it I'm glued to it for at least 2 hours straight. That game is frustrating as all get out but fun as hell.

You should come play again soon!

Holy crap Gary! The words that come to mind is shoe horn. That's cool that you can get that many machines in there. Isn't that upstairs as well? - Barry

Nice. Love the crampedness. Makes for more fun. Really nice grouping.

Yeah, it's upstairs. Is a royal pain in the ass to get machines in and out of there. There is just enough room so that if I need to get in the back of a machine I can pull it out into the aisle without having to move the other machines.

I think it looks smaller in the video that it actually is, at least I like to tell myself that. It's really tight in there when there is a person on each machine.

It is cramped with people in there, but it definitely feels like an arcade when it's full of people. I absolutely love the sound in there when they are all running. Just hitting start on all of them myself isn't the same as having someone playing on each one.

I haven't really had people over too much so far. I think I'll make it a more regular thing though. . was a lot of fun. We also had a 2600 with a Harmony cart and an NES with a PowerPak that we were playing with downstairs.

Eh? Bad link?

Man, I've gotta figure out a way to get my games out of the garage and upstairs so they get played...

Big or small, you're games are being played and enjoyed. Looks like a good space to me!

 

[jawhn]

That's way cool. Nicely done.

Now just find something to cover the bright light coming in from the windows, put a few $10 Walmart 24" blacklights in there, and bayum!

Very nice selection of games, too. How big is the room?

...and a Vectrex, even though we didn't play with it much, but it was cool to see one running.

Yup! I've convinced myself not to go outside of this room (except for a workspace the garage). Between this little space and a bunch of boards, I can play the stuff that I want to play.

Come on Gary, there's room in the hallway for another game or two!
