Title: The 80's Arcade
Post by: Belike on July 04, 2014, 09:42:40 AM

After several years of collecting, repairing and storing my cabs about 5 different places, seems like my gameroom is ready. ;D
I call it simply the "80's Arcade", there are no modern stuff in there, everything is from the late 70's and 80's. ;)
Long story short, we had an approx. 52m2 large living room at the ground floor of our house, it was built in the 80's and it really needed a restore by now, but let the pics speak.

I also made 2 videos (daylight/dark), but freakin youtube removed the sound from one, because of copyright issues, they have an automatic sound analyzer software and it recognized John William's Star  Wars main theme. :P

The other one is in Etienne's NAS, you can download it here(this is better IMHO, worth a watch):

At last, I would like to send my huge thanks to everybody who helped to buy, transport, repair, store my cabs and for those, who made the brilliant artwork repros, I wouldn't be able to reach this point without this community. :spaceace:

On the left side there is even a little area for astrowar  ;) or other

Unfortunately the room is completely full, with more cabs, it would be uncomfortable to play some games.
I have a Zacc Super Galaxian, that is still in the anteroom, I have to figure out something to put it inside. ;)

To be honest, I copied the colors from your gameroom, I liked it a lot. ;D
You are welcome anytime. ;)
