DarienVenture's collection "An arcade in motion" updated:19-4

Darien's First law of Collecting states:
"A collector in motion remains in motion without external force. A collector at rest, doesn't exist"

Suppose I should start with the NEO goodies huh? Alright this section is a little pathetic.

-DarienVenture, Thread in progress

nice start up. Do you really like KOF, or just purchasing them as they are usually cheaper?

Nice SW Trilogy cab.

Any pics of the car?

Wyndcrosser: Oh I am well in to KOF...looking at it (+FF) I guess it's well over half my collection. I even own Neowave although I don't own an atomiswave mobo. when I finish the collection I'm going to print one of those continuous image spine sets. I'm also completing SS and probably MS. I haven't been bit by the "buy everything" bug I'll probably catch it off you guys. oh and puzzle bobble (I have the F3 ver of 3)... and blazing star and I really like last blade.... ...damn you all.

I already have a much worse monkey on my back which is buying WHOLE CABINETS...often for less than I've seen some of the carts.

gum_drops: Trilogy is a great party piece. It's huge the cockpit is completely themed to the cabinet down to the writing on the control panel I need some neons for the back. they're supposed to be pink I might ...alter... that. I have two of those sega rear projection cabinets (this and Manx TT) and It wasn't until I tried to move them I realised why I got such a great deal on them.

SNK_Pro: you're supposed to be a nerd not a petrol-head. Arcade first then Mercedes but for another tease Hit the Sega spoilers again.

Cars first, games WELL behind!

Your collection put my local arcade to shame

You've got alot of cool stuff, DV.

Thanks, Everyone ... although I'm running out of old pictures and I'm too lazy to take new ones.

A very nice assortment of cab's you have there.
