As promised in another thread here is the story of my new crazy plans for the next few years ... as we all know space is always a limitating factor in this hobby. I think all of us want big gamerooms with dozends of machines and partys every weekend if we could AND had the space to do this.
That also is my problem. I have about 25 cabs and 4 pinball machines now and half of that stuff ist stored in the garage. No chance to even pull sometinh out to repair it. I'm done with my space. So last year (or was it already two years ago??) I decided to move out of the house with all my stuff. At the moment me and Mrs. Caveman live for rent in a quite small flat. Fortunately my neighbours are arcade friendly people so they let me do "The Cave" in the basement. In the meantime I occupied almost the whole basement for my machines ... there are almost 20 games running there on about 50qm!!!
To achieve my goal in a certain budget I asked the local computer museum (OCM) if they could imagine a coorporative between them and me. The liked it right from the start! So - fast forward two years - the moment has come that we found a location where arcade and classic computing come together on almost 1000qm!
The gameroom will be about 100qm for the start. As seen on pic 2 ... And thats not all: I teamed up with a few pinball freaks. They decided also to join the party and bring a few pins. Still looking for people who are interested in this to join the club. We will have a blast there, open one day a month to the public (like other clubs like the well known RetroGamers or ForAmusementOnly do). The goal is something like the permanent Eurocade. You bring your stuff, we build one big gameroom and have fun together. Take the community out of the web into real life. Arcade lifestyle at it's best.
So thats it! Bye bye Cave, welcome ..... (we don't have a name yet
)
