Thanks for your support. :)

I live in Oldenburg (30 minutes from Bremen and only 2 hours away from Hamburg). We rent all that space. "We" in that case is the OCM. Since we are the arcade section of the OCM-family, we participate from the big overall space. How much we will use depends on how many machines we aquire or how many people are willing to participate. Atm we have about 30 Cabs and a dozen pinballs (count is growing fast). :)

The caveman evolves from his cave into a proper building LOL ;)

Me and Xen are from Veendam in the Netherlands (quite close!)
Altough it would probably be a major hassle for us to drag our (currently one and only) cab to and from the location
(no car with possibilities of towing, no trailer and a cab located at the top of a 3 story building with very VERY narrow stairs)

BUT! We are more then willing to take along some other vintage gaming equipment/tv's/combo's etc!

Thanks for all the support here!!

@Vond: Thank you for the kind offer! Right now we haven't planned to build up any other gaming gear but who knows what happens in the future ;)

Progress is still slow. We still need the "Brandschutzwand" (therefore we won't get killed if the cabs catch fire - yeah right!). Millions of other knick knacks too of course. Keep you postet with pics if anything changes.

My good friend, things like Brandshutzwände (fire walls) are what sets us apart from countries like Bangladesh.......there's a reason....fires never happen ........right ?


Not sure in Germany but over here if a building gets larger than 1000 m2 you'll need to divide up with 30 minute firewalls OR take other measurements that provide equal safety (like sprinklers).

I know, I know ... and it's OK. But it's a pain in the ass. ;-) Not hat simple to spread the love nowadays. Linke Bon said: It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll. :-)

Awesome!  :o

Would love to do something similar, how many cabinets are there in the room?

And do you have more pictures of the process (maybe on a german forum)?

Right now ... 32. Plus there will be 8 pinball at the end, I guess. Pretty crowded already but some more cabs are already in the planning. If we stack everything up a bit there ist space for max. 40 cabs und maybe 10 pins. :) We are already planning on a small 50qm expansion at the beginning of the next year. :D

Regular opening times will start in 2014 ... maybe March? That depends on the computer museum. Since this is a coorperation we will start with the opening when both parts are ready. On 16.11 we will have a little party though where the cabs and pins will be part of the fun for the first time. ;) See here: https://www.facebook.com/OldenburgerComputerMuseum/events
