Tom Tom' (K1ngArth3r's) Arcade

[K1ngarth3r]

I've been waiting to setup a new arcade in my house I moved to back in 2015 for what seems like ages now.

Original plans were to convert a double garage and add a further double garage on the front of it making a nice space of around 5m x 10m. Unfortunately I've not gone ahead as we want to move house again and it's not worth the effort and expense to make the arcade here at this scale.

Fast forward to this year, and my garage is a bit full! I decided to use a room that was earmarked for a home cinema (eventually) and use that as my arcade.

The rooms not been re-plastered and decorated yet, but thought I'd share my setup as is for now, and maybe update in the future.

This is around 1/3 of the cabs I have setup (Will finally get to set them all up in the next house!)

Cabinets:

Ice Cold Beer (US)

Toobin' (US)

Space Ace (US)

Donkey Kong (US)

Dragon's Lair II Time Warp (Brent Leisure)

Micheal Jackson Moonwalker (Brent Leisure)

NEO-GEO 4-Slot (US)

Creature from the Black Lagoon (UK)

Nice! It's amazing just how much space these dedicated cabs take up.

 

[Flinnster]

Looks like a nice space, even if it's just temporary

Thank you, I'm happy with it

Thank you

I like to think I look after my games, service them top to bottom and make sure they look presentable without replacing their original artwork were possible.

Great to see some games that are different to the norm!
Do you have loads of gun games still to setup?

Thanks, most of the games I have go against the norm for sure

I have a LOT of gun games in my collection that will be coming out in my next house. I really can't wait for that, since some of them I've not played since the early to mid-90s on the deluxe cabinets at least.

Lovely space you have there

Recognise that Space Ace.......

Yep, still got Space Ace I bought from you over 3 years ago now would you believe. I still having finished it but getting better.

Very nice this! Great work

Thank you

Nice! It's amazing just how much space these dedicated cabs take up.

For sure, they make a reasonably sized room small, will need a LOT of space at my next house to have all the cabs I have / want setup.

Looks like a nice space, even if it's just temporary

Thanks

Although it's temporary, it will be usuable for a couple of years at least

Looks good all right, a nice combination of games

Thank you

I would love a driver in there or a shooter, but apart from that It's a good time.

Looking great already. I particularly like the variety of games. Well done.

 

[Brettster]

WOW, super nice, wish I had this much indoor space!!

 

[qjuk]

I like the ambiance of the room and a really nice mix of games there

Nice also to see a Moonwalker in the collection, the cab looks in pretty nice nick as well.

Thanks

there is always something to play that's for sure, especially with the variety that the MVS cab brings.

WOW, super nice, wish I had this much indoor space!!

Thanks

Yep I'm lucky with the amount of space available in this house, it was a shame not to use some of it for my cabs

I like the ambiance of the room and a really nice mix of games there

Nice also to see a Moonwalker in the collection, the cab looks in pretty nice nick as well.

Thanks

It's amazing the ambiance just having the cabinets all lit up brings to a room. I have some ideas to add to the ambiance after the room gets decorated. I'll post pictures once it's done for sure. Yeah, I was after a Moonwalker for some years and managed to get this one about 5 years ago. I have all the metal work sandblasted and power coated. I even have the original metal topper but it's too tall for the room to attach it right now.

Very nice Tom, especially the Neo Geo and Moonwalker cabs

Any pics of your AES collection?

Thank you

Yeah, those two cabinets get lots of play. I have Moonwalker set quite high in difficulty, it's so hard now. But I keep coming back to it.

I will maybe take some pictures of my AES collection in the future and post over on NEO-GEO.com

Awesome!

Thanks

Love the room Great Cabs Tom!

Thanks

Lovely stuff

Thanks

Wow that's a lovely room and a great selection of cabs, nice variety there. I especially love the Moonwalker cab, it looks in fantastic condition. The Neo-Geo Big Red is really cool, you certainly don't see many on these shores. Toobin' is also a game I love, great choice. Thanks for sharing pics of your awesome room.
