Looks like a nice GREAT place !

Needs some deco IMHO, but that's very satisfying. How large is your "lounge"?
-
110 meter >:(

You picked the wrong smiley or did I say something wrong ??? :(

Wow, so cool that you actually did it! How many machines are there now? And is everything working?
-

Hehe, good one :D

nice, although it's not my selection of games. regarding the decoration: i wouldn't put anything else in there if i were you, imho some nice lighting and a cool floor (perhaps some toppers ;)) are good enough. i never understood the need to put marquees, beer signs or license plates on the walls. LESS IS MORE!!! 8)

LESS IS MORE!!!
....says the man with .....how many project machines ? ;D ;D ;D
Well done Carlo3do !
So you are open to the public ? Pretty cool ! Good luck and keep us updated !

you can't have enough machines - if you have the space to display them ... which i don't :P!
-
thank you guys for the kind words :)
110 meter still small for my vision...
24 cab all working
2 pinball not working
and still have afterburner sit-down waiting for parts from uk from SEGA doctor Mark ;D
-
That's an incredible achievement, congratulations!
I'm drooling over that Space Harrier dlx !
What's the name of the place by the way? arcade retro lounge?
-
Seeing that kid on the SH deluxe brings me back a lot of memories.
Wow, 2 starblade in a row... I love this! :-* :-* :-*
Nice place, but it would deserve more 'classic' cabinets (or you didn't show them on that video?) :P
-
Thanks for sharing your video.
Space Harrier and Rampart are the gems in your collection :-*.
What is the game with the white motorbike ?
Of course, more pictures please !
-
nice place :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Looks fantastic! Whereabouts are you based?
-
nice place, jealous of the space harrier deluxe :) 1st step done (collecting cabs) now the finishing touch, decorating the room.
To bad the pictures and movie are of bad quality, because the place deserves better and i'm just a newcomer in this hobby so i don't recognise the cabs without reading the marquees :(
-
I agree with Ully, I would'nt decorate too much and I already like it as is.
Maybe just the name of the place in giant letters on the wall above the cabs and some cool lighting.
After all it's a public place...

So you don't like our gameroom at all?? With the marquees covering the light ropes? The huge TRON display? The Space Invaders-stickers on the wall? The small LED-Atari-Sign? :'( :'( (http://www.thludwig.de/pics/smilies/weeping.gif)
Hey, I didn't say "Cover all the walls with posters and marquees"
A poster here and there, maybe a nice (arcade related) neon sign and some coloured lights in the corners (maybe on the floor, lighting towards the ceiling) will do the job.
I have collected some arcade posters (large bitmap files) if you need any :)
-
Hey who am I to judge after all, I don't even have a gameroom. ;)

pic worth a thousand word ;)

How did i miss that. ohhhh i have been out of the arcade scene for a while now.
Magnificent job Carlo3do glad to see people from Lebanon interested in this hobby that's very rare.
I myself am from Lebanon, had a Showcase Cab myself but had to get rid of it since my Hantarex was unfixable.
I did come across many Cabs myself but never had the space nor the money sometimes.
I'd love to check that gorgeous Arcade lounge sometime.

thanks for the kind words Commander you can pass anytime :D
