Well, in about 2 weeks I am taking off work to finally finish that remodeling project I've had under way for over a year and never got around to. Anyhow, the idea is I will have space for my games by creating a new game room.

As it stands now most of my cabinets are packed into a little room. Here are a few pictures.

I've a few more cabs not shown here but they are in storage.

I'm starting to move a bit more into older games and plan on getting rid of my 25 inch cabinets. Not that I dislike them but after a long bit of thought I think I would like to just keep my 19 inch machines as they are a lot more easy to move and such. I don't know if it is just me but some of those smaller monitors really seem to get a very nice picture.

I'm planning on swapping out that cps2 for a naomi and that nintendo cabinet is going to get a jamma nes installed. I've another 19 inch that cab that I want to put some one slot boards in two other 19 inch cabinets.

Oh and I've still got this thing sitting in my way. I'm waiting to hear from the freight company about what i need to do.

Once I get my project under way I'll throw out some pictures of it, for anyone who would care about such a thing.

I've also recently picked up two more cabs, I'm waiting on being shipped. I'm pretty excited to be getting a Tron and Star Wars

Some nice cabs for sure, I love that candy. Hope you get that Crazy Taxi cab sorted out. It looks super cool but doesn't do anyone any good broken:(

Oh, well one day things will get sorted out on that cabinet. It is just going to be slow is all. Those freight companies don't do anything fast.

I've only got an empty 4 slot board in the big red. I really have not used it much at all after getting that candy.

I've a neo 19 in another room that I'm working and hope to get it finished one day soon. I've kind of lost interest in the arcade projects for a while, but hope to get back on track after getting the room finished.

In the candy I've got, Garou, Metal Slug 3, Samurai Showdown 2, and Money Puzzle Exchanger. Thats kind of what I've been keeping in there for company as those are the games that get the most requests. I've not really sat and played any games for a good bit.


All those games need a little something to get them where I want them to be though. I need to rebuild the stick on time pilot and find a new marquee. I would like to rebuild the track ball on Crystal Castles, maybe swap the monitor for one without so much burn in. That one is getting a bit faded looking. The nintendo cab in the corner is running Black Tiger at the moment.


I've messed with that taxi cab a little. I am pretty sure the tube is damaged, and the boards are fried. Other than the cosmetic damage, I've gotten it to start up with a bit of work and hooked up a computer monitor, but the controls are kind of messed up. It will only turn in a circle so something is wrong with that.

I really hope the freight company comes through for the guy that sold it to me. He has already sent me a refund, and I'm just holding onto his cab until he gives me instructions on what to do.

That neo candy is awesome *jealous*. And the crystal castles looks to be a beauty. Side art seems very clean. I always love to see cab filled gameroom pics; keep us posted.

btw, glad to hear you got a refund on the crazy taxi. Is a replacement in the works?
