Title: The Dutch Invasion (21.02.2015) - Trier - Arcade Basement
Post by: Tyrem on February 22, 2015, 11:50:16 AM
Had some friends here last night and we had a blast!
Want to share some pics with you! Thank you to this amazing bunch of people!

After connecting every row to an extra powerline my basement was ready to have some guests.

Oh yeah... here is our highscore-scoreboard in action. It was connected to all the available savekits in my cabs. They uploaded scores and you also get an e-mail when your highscore got brocken (which happened quite often that night... mpf):

That's a beautiful spectacular collection of classic cabs you have and a great space to play them, would look even better with some "mood lighting" to give it that arcade feel.
Noticed the case of Bitburger, that's a nice beer that I often drink when I find it on tap :)

the leds are allready here. simply had no time to install them. first was the power lines for every row. decoration comes next. but trust me...  it looks cool when the normal lights are turned down and all the fx is comming from the cabs. :)

Hi, I'm also home now after spending some time at my buddy's home (I forgot my keys lol)

Had a great time, thanks again for your hospitality Stefan.

Playing the games was fun, breaking your DK score was also fun, but hanging out, having dinner and chat with alle you guys (and girls) was the best part :spaceace:
