There are even beer bottles on the cocktail table, way to go, (PRC)man!

Thanx a lot ;) yeah ... the cocktail is meant to be used as a table, so I simply do it. Even if it's an original UniwarS Irem table. The Dredd-topper will soon be fixed ... just stay tuned. Cosmic Alien is one of my all time favorite artworks!! Don't know what demon went into the guy who designed it but it's just awsome. The big amount of plastic and newer games is just a momentary phase. It might change any time ... in that case an After Burner, Pinbot, Puckman and two more of those "generic dedicated cabs" are lurking around the corner to be placed there instead.

I like your gameroom because there are classics from all the era's! Apart from the "well known" pre-'83 classics (asteroids, centipete, T&F, PP), Daytona USA is a poligonal "must-have" IMO, and also a good NeoGeo collection (i cannot read the titles from the image) with a "dedicated" candy for those PCB's (i don't like candy cabs really, but i like them when loaded with MVS cassetes  :D). And what about Hangon? I love the gameplay of that game ...

Waiting to see the After Burner inside there  :spaceace:

Oh and I love that Asteroids cabaret by the way! (so convenient it fits all kind of interiors, our living room for instance  ::)).

Nice selection of cabs, looks cool. ;)
You should replace those plastics with some real arcade cabs tho! ;D

Thanx for all the kind words ;) yeah ... I knew the candys would be a point for discussions ;D For me it is diffucult to decide to take them out, because I like a game of those modern shooters once a while and also the new beat em up titles are part of my arcade hobby. The NeoGeo for instance will definately stay forever because I like the games so much and that is an original SNK machine ... that's how they should be played all the time ;) Ok, I'm still mainly in love with the classics of course!! Due to the fact that I am out of space im The Cave already, there will be a good circulation, because the storage for the spare cabs is right in the next room ;) So if any of you guys will have a visit I will swap the cabs and the pinball to make him the evening as convenient as possible.  8)

Hehe, that Daytona is the special Caveman edition  ;) I got this nice (Silent scope) topper from nuno and converted it to Daytona. I still got the topper for the former twin but could not cut it into half. Some day both sides will unite again ;)

Hehe, guess who took the photo ... The pics with mrs caveman and the cabs are totally private. No chance to see any of that suff here. It's just better for everyone. Who knows if any heart patient is here ... Don't want to think what happens to that guy when I upload the family jewels ;)

And YES! there will definitely be a lamp in the topper ... And red moulding of course. ;)
