Epic collection. I bet the electric bill is epic as well! Nice work.

Heh, well… they’re all on only during a party… otherwise I only turn the ones on that I’m playing. But with the entire arcade on, it only costs about $1 per hour, plus the extra cooling (or minus the heating in the winter 😉 ).

That really is AWESOME!!!!!!! DogP, when you gonna fly us all too your house to have a game night? 😛

If you’re ever in the DC area, you’re welcome to stop by and play some games. I don’t think I can fly everyone out here though… at least not until we get that teleporter technology figured out 😉 .

That looks incredible. Better than any regular arcade I’ve been to (which I have to admit, are few and far inbetween. Hey, arcades died at some point, right?).

Heh, arcades died several times… when, depends who you ask.

I understand you were going for the classics but…. you need a couple of Hydro Thunder machines and an Area 51 or other gun game before it’s complete. 😎 Very cool though. Which machine(s) were most popular at your party?

Yep… I’m planning on getting a Hydro Thunder soon, to put next to the SF Rush cabs. I used to have an Area 51/Maximum Force, but after playing through it a bunch of times, I decided it wasn’t worth keeping around. I do have Police 911 2, which IMO is one of the best shooting games.

The most popular games at the party were SF Rush and Ice Cold Beer, and the pinball machines got a lot of play too.

Heh, nope… single and enjoying myself 😀 . If I was married, you’d never see me here, and if I was lucky, I’d have 1 arcade game in the garage 😉 .
