Mat Anna's Home Arcade

[witchfinder]

It's taken a while to fully document this, but here's a video showcasing our home arcade build, population and culminating in a tour of the (almost) finished project...

If you want to skip the construction stuff then the tour starts at 16:00

Enjoy... Meets etc will be organised in the fairly near future...

That's a really nice setup you have there!!!

 

[muddymusic]

Very nice mate, certainly worth the wait

That looks like my old Crazy Taxi btw, I wonder if it is.

 

[witchfinder]

It could be... I got it from Andy Brown (Replay) who bought it from somebody on J+ around the middle of last year. Not sure who they got it from!

You've done a great job of that, looks bloody marvellous!!

Very cool to see your wife getting stuck in giving you a hand, what a gem!

Well done mate, you've done very well, a very, very cool games room and the graft was well worth it!

Excellent!

Nice video as always.

I thought soukoban is literally pronounced so ko ban rather than sockoban.

Fantastic work Mat (& Anna), that's a super cool games room there!

I'm starting to feel inadequate these days with my single garage, after seeing all you guys amazing custom built efforts.

Great vid too, love the remixed Nemesis and Bubble Bobble tunes.

Look forward to visiting one day when the meets start happening, hopefully by then I might be able to get somewhere near Anna's score on Bank Panic.

(I still haven't even played that bootleg board yet

, though it was actually promoted to next in line for the swap over in my Goliath only today).

Superb matey

nice to see it from the old garage which looked about as nice as the one I had before being knocked down and replaced with extension.

Great to see the other half helping move the machines in too

i was watching some building program on tv the other day, and they said that if the structure is less than 4m high, you dont need planning permission on it. does that apply to permanent/ brick structures as well like this one?

 

[strykr]

Wicked stuff mate, love it!

 

[Bicton]

Great work for both of you! congrats for all the project involved and very well done, thanks for sharing with us.

 

[Hurray Banana]

Great space and great game line ups mate

George Clarke's amazing spaces by any chance?

That's true, you also don't need building regs for a certain size, have a look here and start planning out your garden space

Love the new gameroom, all these great home arcades really are the thing of dreams, not just a few cabs in a garage but proper arcade type setups, great work

great show, much prefer it to grand designs. it was that crazy woman's pink coloured castle where the 4m restriction thingy was mentioned and i picked up on. i bet her neighbours are well happy.
