Guys, currently I have 183 locations on the maps. Am I missing any really cool retro 80's machine locations?

Thanks for sharing SeTTleR, I will look into those. My main focus is on arcade cabinets of at least 10 and if they have pinballs that would be nice too but arcade cabinets are a must. Thanks for the suggestions!

Are you actually revering to the PCB game board or do you mean something else? I actually have a PCB lying around if you are interested.

In the meantime I have done a new update and I now have 165 locations on the maps.

Do you guys know of any arcades in Ireland though? So far I have not been able to find any although I know there is 1 in Dublin.

That looks pretty sweet and close by to where I need to go Andreas, thank you for that! I added it to the map as well. Great addition!

Hey Guys,

Thanks to your contributions I managed to get a total of 138 locations on the map up to now. It is my goal to have 500 arcade locations on the map before the 1st of July. Still a massive quest but I am confident this will work. So if you have any additional suggestions please let me know.

Regards,

Pieter

@Level42, I have added the majority of the Arcades including Hall of Game for completeness sake and marked it as closed permanently.

The pinball museum looks like great fun indeed, I need to bring my son there as well! :D

Thanks for the locations.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I will work on these to add as much as possible to the map.

There is this list from ArcadeBelgium but not many have more than 10 cabs: http://www.arcadebelgium.be/ab.php?l=en&r=loc&p=list
There is also this cool website by liquidx but it's only about pinballs: http://findapinball.com

The Belgium arcades I have with the exception of the holiday parks as they might not be publicly accessible. But thank you for the link though, it is huge! I will double check the smaller arcades too maybe they have more in the meantime. Thanks for the suggestions.

Cool Site, Pieter.

When I visited prague, there were a arcade in the middle of the town, I made some pictures from outside. My mistake was when I passed it the first time with my colleagues, I didnt go in because I had the plan to visit it next morning - and guess what, they had closed  >:(.
So I cant tell anything about the amount of cabs.

But on the other side, I will do some pictures from the arcade in our cinema. They rebuilt the cinema so I didnt visit the arcade and dont know if its that big as before.

Thanks Andreas, is the arcade http://www.arcadehry.cz/museum by any chance? I will be in Prague the 31st of March and the 1st of April. So I might want to check it out.

Netherlands:

http://www.funhousevlissingen.nl

http://funhouserenesse.nl

Those still have videogames last time I checked. Actually the one in Renesse had REMOVED all the money gambling machines and was videogames and ticket games ONLY !!! But that was about a year ago....

I was in Valkenburg around Christmas last year but the last one with videogames there ( Copacabana ) is now gambling only.

By the looks of the website Hommerson Scheveningen is now gambling only too :(  :(
http://www.hommerson.nl/

For some real fun go to:
http://www.dutchpinballmuseum.com

Looks like Hall of Game didn't make it: http://www.faillissementsdossier.nl/nl/faillissement/1045404/hall-of-game-b-v.aspx

Hmmm looks like Hommerson still has their "Funland" ......as close to an arcade as you can get those days:

http://www.hommerson.nl/filialen/funland-scheveningen

Thanks for the suggestions, I will check them all out. And yes it is a pity Hall of Game did not survive, they had a decent amount of cabs actually.These are great additions I did not yet have.

Hey Guys,

Since awhile I am mapping all the arcades that I can find and in the meantime I have found quite a lot of locations. Right now I have 116 added to my map at http://www.arcadeuniverse.net/arcade-map/​ . Do you guys have some tips for arcades that I am still missing?

Regards,

Pieter

This will be a very nice project, I love the side art.

It's difficult to establish a suitable size from a piece of paper, maybe you could try to make a 3D model in some CAD program? Or you know someone who could do that for you? Then you can get a good idea about model and sizes.

CRT or TFT? I never heard of the latter! LOL  Please go the CRT route, you could use a secondhand CRT TV, which are very cheap nowadays.

Regarding Mame, which build are you planning to use? I can recommend Groovymame. And horizontal or vertikal? Or rotatable?

Please keep posting lots of pictures, we love them.

I like to remain flexible so there needs to be some form of rotating mechanisme which should not be such a problem as I made one before in my candy cab. With CRT screens it is a bit more difficult but with TFT that is easy. I will first install my TFT but I agree with you that CRT would be a hell of a lot sweeter and not expensive at all.

I am not familiar with MAME at all so I am looking for something easy but workable. I have worked with the original MAME interface and it sucks when you have more games than can be displayed on the screen. I just want software that shows an easy menu in which you can select your games, that is it. I will look ito Groovymame, thanks for the tip.
