    All,

    I turned my loft into a smaller game room. I have a total of 10 games that are in my air conditioned garage and now my loft. Right now I have 4 games in my loft and 6 in my garage. It turns out I really like the loft Gameroom and decided to scrap my garage gameroom as I have a classic car in there now and have another car on order (September of next year so have some time) that I also need to store in the garage. Plus I like playing games better now in the loft gameroom. I figured out a way to put a total of 6 games in the loft so I think I am going to sell 4 games.

    I know I am keeping the following:
    JP2
    DP Prem
    SWLE

    I want to keep 3 from the following
    BM66 LE
    MMr
    AFM
    MB
    Met Pro
    AC/DC Luci (Helen)
    BSD

    right now I am leaning towards keeping BM66 LE, MMr & AFM but keep going back and forth on what to keep.

    A few side notes - I completely restored the AFM and MB. I do have some sentimental value to the AFM as I have had it now for 13 years. I am also in the process of completely restoring the BSD but have lost a little interest in the restore but I would need to finish it to sell it. Also Met and AC/DC have been two of my favorite games. I always have a hard time letting go of games but downsizing is a reality now.

    AFM is the only one I’d be sure to keep. Then MB and BSD because I favor WPC games.

    AFM and MMr are very similar to me. Id keep MMr and substitute AFM with something else. I love metallica so id vote that!

    They are similar. But I'd keep the AFM and MB that you restored plus BM66LE.

    What a great problem to have! You also have an AMAZING lineup.

    Since you really can't go wrong any way you choose, I will just give you some philosophical advice:

    1) Keep games that have varied types of play so they don't get boring.
    2) Take time off from playing various games...if you don't miss playing them...it is time to get rid of them.
    3) Consider keeping games that are harder to acquire. They typically keep better value and you don't have to worry as much about replacing them down the line if you want to.

    Included a few pics of the MB, AFM and BSD (under restoration). It is a tough decision.

    Well I think I am going to let the MB and BSD go but still struggling with the rest.

    I voted AFM, BSD, and Mettalica. I don't really see any reason to have AFM, MM, or MB in a collection that already has one of those games with how similar they are to each other, especially when you're limited with how many games you can have. From your description I picked AFM since it seems you like that the most, but keeping any one of those would be great. I picked BSD because something older and a bit simpler will add some more variety to the collection (Plus it's just a great game!). I picked Metallica mainly because it's a game I'm familiar with that I know is really good, but ACDC would be good too of course, or Batman. Ultimately the decision is up to you. I'd definitely finish fixing up BSD and getting some time to play before deciding whether or not you want to keep it though.

    I'd be looking for a cabinet first...but I guess in the meantime you could fix the flipper
