OK, guys...it now around a year that I collect. Everything startet with my Hang-On which I have bought on eBay for 50bucks.
After that I was looking and looking and looking my collection so far looks like the following:

Fighters:

KI2
Virtua Figther

Vectors:

Asteroids (converted but found the XY-Monitor already) *
Asteroids (converted)
Asteroids Deluxe (european)
Asteroids Deluxe (U.S.)
SEGA Tac/Scan
Tempest
Tailgunner II (environmental cab)

Laserdisc:

Space Ace (Irish Atari plant - will go to the U.S. soon)
Galaxy Ranger *
Galaxy Ranger

Shooters:

Operation Bear (very rear bootleg of Operation Wolf with retractable gun)
Revolution X 33" 3-player version

Electromechanical games:

Super Missile (EM-Game similar to Midway S.A.M.I.) *
Flying Circus (EM-Game ´71) *
Arctic Gun (EM-Game ´67) *

All the rest:

Atari Worldcup Football (4-player Pong stand-up-table)
Assault
Universal Cosmic Alien
Universal No man´s land
Indiana Jones (Atari System 1)
Namco Galaxian (japanese version)
Super Space Attack (Space Invaders Bootleg but a nice one)
Super Invaders (Space Invaders but a nice one)
NSM Puckman (Namco licensed)
Space Harrier
Olympia Portraits
Karate Champ
Stern Berzerk
Konami Simpsons 4 Player european version
Zaccaria Astro Wars
Zaccaria Star Splash
Atari Super Breakout
Afterburner
Gremlin Head-On (the only game with a minor water damage under the marquee) *
Frogger
SEGA Thunderblade Deluxe
SEGA Top-Skater
Crisis Zone
Virtua Cop
Puckman cocktail
Generic cocktail (which will go to a friend the next days
Another ZZZ which I gave to my friend Thomas along the the Killer Instict 2
2 generic uprights (one for a multifighter as I hate the original Street Fighter cab)

It is very possible that I forget the one or the other but 55 sounds correct and reminds be that some got to go like one of the Asteroids DX, one Taito S.C.I., one SEGA Galaxy Ranger or the Super Invaders.

My living-room got an empty wall with around more than 5metes long and can take 8 games.
2 are already here, the Hang-on (i still restore) and a generic cab that will be my semi-dedicated EXERION on MAME (will also play some other games).

So here is my question:

what other 6 games should I put in the living room?

My imagination looks somehow like that

Hang-On
EXERION/MAME
Williams Arctic Gun EM-Game
ALCA Super Missile EM-Game
Asteroids Deluxe
Space Ace
Virtua Fighter
Gremlin Super Space Attack (Space Invaders DX-clone)

On the other hand would one racing game be a nice thing, whats your opinion?

What an amazing collection!

You really should open an arcade.

As to the list for your wall I would have 5x Mr Do! machines and a tall glass fronted beer fridge

But I am a bit biased.

I would have Tempest, Asteroids, Star Splash (mamed for multi games), Galaxian, Tail Gunner and one that isn't on your list yet - Moon Patrol

Everyone will have a different opinion on which ones to choose.

Cheers

Hahaha, 5x Do!....you must be a fan.
The Starsplash will become a Mr Do! one day, but it is a full-restoration. This is a 30Euro (including transport) cabinet, so you guess the conditions.

As for your suggestion:

The Asteroids are badley hacked...so they will need time, effort and money.
The A-DX will go in the livingroom.
Tailgunner II is a huge environmental cab...a cockpit. Definitely nothing for the livingroom, at least not for mine.
The Galaxian is at Thomas house and he is in the US for a year where also the Tempest still is.

Moon Patrol is on the list, dont worry :)

Couple of questions back:

How many of the 55 work?

Honestly TB, I dont know as I am busy enough to collect, transport and store them. That is how big raids are.

What on Earth are you going to do with the other 47?

They get burned in the backyard

They stay in the storage until I have a dedicated gameroom.

Is there any way to test them while they are in storage, at least to give them a quick wipe down, disconnect the boards etc. then check the voltages and then give them a full power up if everything is ok? Otherwise you might end up with 5 project cabs in your living room.
