Games room May 2014

[Paul_in_nottingham]

It's getting there slowly. I still need to do a thread with my photos of the plaster boarding and the floor carpet tiles.

The novelty here is having all 5 machines working at once. Although SCI needs a serious degauss, I've got a Chinese degauss wand of death on the way!

Nice dude nice!

 

[Purity]

I like the gamesroom

Any space for more games or is that your limit?

 

[Fuzzy]

That's great!

 

[Paul_in_nottingham]

I've got an outrun deluxe that I need to strip down and rebuild it in there. That will go kind of where I was standing, there's a knackered jukebox and some tools there at the moment.

Also got a space harrier upright on the way. That will be the limit, may even have to loose 1 to get that in..

 

[Nintendo Arcade]

Blimey that's come along way since I was there.
It looks really good paul
It looks about the same size as my room,in which you have made good space out off.
I like the the way you timed it so it says ridge racer as you walk through the door

Wicked mate wicked

Cheers guys! I'm chuffed it's all coming together.

 

[vib_ribbon]

[Fuzzy]

looks great! hope it gets lots of use.

I'd live in there if it was my game room.

 

[IndyJones]

Looks great in there, love the sound of multiple cabs running at the same time for the authentic arcade experience

I have a serious magnetization problem on one of my monitors, any chance you could let us all know how you get on with the cheapo wand of death? I was going to buy one the other day but was not sure if they work or not.

 

[RygarR]

That's a crackin little man cave you've got there. Looks fantastic!

 

[griffo83x]

some classic games in there for sure , great

As it happens - its just arrived at my office this morning.

I shall hopefully get chance to use it tonight, if not then Thursday. I shall make a thread detailing how I get on. It'll be a bit of a laugh I'm sure - a nice painful laugh!

I'm genuinely a little worried. It's outer cover is made of the worlds thinnest plastic. Honestly thinner than the sort of stuff takeaway containers are made of. Think I'll be holding it with a rubber gauntlet.

 

[Urgentemente]

Nice

Love the blast of noise as you open the door, just like arcades BITD when they had the doors closed.

Did you time it to get "Riddddggggge Raccerrrrrr" just as you opened the door..!

Taking shape nicely buddy

 

[Paul_in_nottingham]

Thanks guys

Ridge Racer doing its attract mode thing was genuinely accidental. But a cool accident none the less!

 

[Hurray Banana]

Very nice compact room, nice number of cabs mate.

 

[K1ngarth3r]

Nice selection of cabs you have in there!

I had on of the degaussing wands from china and the thing melted on me!

whats the cab on the far left next to outrun, is it special criminal investigation? thats what i read on marquee but ive never heard of the game? but it looks good. nice room, and that ridge racerrrrr was perfectly timed lol
