Gyruss is the one game you don't want a 60 in 1 in. The sounds are so bad it is almost unplayable. The gameplay seems off too but maybe that is just because the sound is so bad. Get a real Gyruss board in there and put the 60 in one of your other games.

Nice collection though, some good games there.

My latest acquisition was importing a couple blue and white Diamond Vewlixes from Japan. Had to scrub off a gross amount of nicotine stains, smoking in arcades, bleh, but they cleaned up great.

on UMK3, your run and block buttons need swapped (block should be white, run should be yellow)

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like the punch and kick buttons are swapped too.

Edit: Got it all sorted out. Thanks again.

Saw this racing game with 107 in 1 and thought it looks fun. Tried to find some video on it and did not see anything. Does anyone have one of these yet?

Thats pretty expensive for a playstation wheel plugged into a PC

Yea I noticed that as well-no shifter? I do like the idea of a multi-arcade racing game.

Groove coaster is probably sold awaiting pick up.

Picked up a heads up poker game. So far lots of fun and it has bocce ball for the kids. For the price tough to beat.

Ordered two crusin blasts. Should be here in next couple weeks. Will post pics of those bad boys when they arrive.

Also updated Big Buck Hunter to Reloaded. But still waiting for them to ship the dongle and new topper.

Finished my Donkey Kong Jr. today. What's interesting is that it was converted to something really bad, probably a Crown 8 Ball Action or Superbike. Somehow a conversion board was still stuck in the game and came loose when I moved it in the house. Y'all are welcome to it.

Anyway I added new side art, and replaced the control panel, buttons, and joystick, and added Donkey Kong Jr. Remix which is phenomenal. Get it.

Not 100% but that does resemble the street heat daughter board...maybe. BTW, the machine looks great and YES, get the remix!

Don’t buy that. Some of the games on the list are unplayable with those controls.

You better off getting one of these! And if you want one, I have one in my storage(hint hint).Plug in your ps4 and play better games.

Review primearcades if you want to get the same game for nearly a 1/3 of the cost. Primearcades just imports it & majority of all of their games come directly from China / Alibaba. [see attached image below same game I saw for 1k & well below on Alibaba]. I saw the same machine without their logos plastered on it on alibaba. Primearcades are located in California & flooded my local craigslist the other day with this garbage. Personally I wouldn’t buy anything from them, but if you wanted to take a chance on this game you’ll save lots of money by simply purchasing it directly from Alibaba / China. But even at a 1/3 of the price I personally wouldn’t buy this.

Just finished repainting this puzzle fighter that I'm going to stick in my basement. Left the coin door and CBO as is for now. Fun game that you can play on FightCade online, but I like to drink and swear at my friends while we bust blocks. Turd of a pic, but you get the idea.

Have a couple classic cocktails as well, but this one is my fav.

Current Arcade Lineup:

Asteroids

House of the Dead

Millipede

Moon Patrol

Space Invaders Deluxe

Star Castle

Star Wars

Tempest

Tron

On the hunt for: Satan's Hallow, Wizard of Wor, Dragon's Lair, Radar Scope and Gyruss.

I'm envious! You've done a great job. It looks amazing.

I love this hame but I’ve never seen this cab with that control panel layout. Is that original? So strange with the half circle buttons. I’ll have to look up fightcade, drinking and swearing in person is much better though.

That looks like a STERN cab to me (super ironic if it was a Turtles, lol) ;definitely generic conversion CPO. Those buttons were usually used on small CPs where multiple "normal" buttons wouldn't fit. The local batting cages use to have a baseball game where that big circle button was 3 butttons in one.

I'd change it to 2 regular buttons if I had any CPO material laying around but with puzzle fighter the double button is totally usable.

When I pulled open the CBO it was generic, I think the cab was a SFII and when I look for a manual online it talks about 'thanks for buying the conversion kit for SPF2T.

https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9931 - similar set up.

Fightcade works as long as both players don't pause / minimize the window - if you do that you'll get a loud buzz. Have to start the game and stay in there. There are a lot of other games available, lots of people playing 3rd strike all the time.

Just wonderin'....
I was burning quarters at the Putt Putt Golf & Games in Asheville, NC.

ASTEROIDS came out in November of 1979

Were you playin'? And where.

video craze (resized).png

Wasn't alive most likely...

Current lineup includes:

Dig Dug
Ms Pacman
Centipede
Donkey Kong Jr cocktail
Pengo
Asteroids Deluxe

Although I am leaning to downsizing the arcades. They are fun but take up too much space/ the game feels almost the same for the majority of them if on a multicade or arcade 1up.

Abby Road in Farmington 2.5 miles from home, pin 1 air hockey, pong, tank, night diver.asteroids, defender.
Another Farmington Pinball arcade at 10 mile and Grand River they had a video game 2 player DEATH RACE.
Righty Right in Southfield had neon sign in front window 6" or 7' tall, looked like a pop-bumper cap "100 when lit"
Eastland shopping center at Eight mile and Kelly, walking distance from grandma's apartment.

At the local arcade hang out called The Mayfair (that was owned by a couple of funny, kooky old German brothers) and affectionately named by the local kids as Stalag 13 (please don't mention the war Basil Fawlty ) playing games like Pong and Tank, Asteroids cocktail, some 2 player shooting game i don't recall the name of but it wasn't an EM, many others and my all time favourite was the big, chunky 8 player Sprint (with horn buttons) Man that thing took a heap of my money!! The place also had a mini golf setup and pit trampolines outside, great place to lose a day at.
Good times in 82', 14 years old and not a care in the world!!

There used to be a couple on Gratiot Avenue. Ricks arcade was one and Galaxy arcade (now a jewelery store) was another. Galaxy was the place where I first played BOP and got me to pinball. Also recall almost every 7 Eleven had a machine in the area and also Chuck E Cheese used to have a ton of real machines. That was the first time I played Red Baron in the sit down version. Malls by the movie theater also had nice collections. There just never seemed to be enough quarters to play them all.

Luckily I’m fortunate that I’ve been able to find a few of my favorites to own.

Cool I’ll have to see if my computer can run it. Is there a decent amount of people playing puzzle fighter?

I am still growing my arcade but I have a couple of machines that give me some feelings of nostalgia. I only five machines but soon to be 6.
Area 51 / Maximum Force
Area 51 Site 4
1000 in one multicade
Iron Maiden Pro
Space shuttle
Soon to be TMNT Premium

What's the good word on that radical in the backyard?

That it likes where it is and wishes people would stop asking about it.

'tis the curse of all Radicals

You aren't kidding. I get pinged all the time about it and Turbo Drive. Turbo Drive people want cheap. Radical I just won't sell it as a project. Anymore though if anyone asks about buying something I tend to just say no anyways because they always want it for less than going rate.

What he said

South Cobb Skating Rink. I missed that place so much after it closed. Forgot what year(79-82), but Asteroids was the first arcade game I ever played, and it was there.

A question to fellow arcade owners. I'm a purest and all my arcades have CRTs. Recently I purchased a High Score Save kit for my Tron that also plays Satan's Hallow. While the Tron looks perfect on my CRT, Satan's Hallow does not. The Tron burn-in is very visible on the much lighter background on Satan's Hallow and getting a good replacement tube is getting tough. As a result, I'm considering for the first time a LCD monitor replacement. So my question is - Should I do it?
