For a while now with all my cabinet building sillyness, my girlfriend was talking about this place she used to visit as a kid with a lot of old videogames in it. After a while we decided to drive down there and see if it was still around (the place was about 1.5hr drive from my house). What I found there still shocks me... In this little arcade there were:
A Pacman cabinet
A Ms. PacMan cab
2 mappy cabs
A Donkey Kong cab
A Donky Cong JR cab
A 1941 cab
A battlezone cab.
A Disks of Tron Upright Cabinet (I always wanted to see one of these!!!)
And a huge collection of vintage pinball games.
Newer cabs...
Street fighter 1
Street Fighter 2
MK1
MK2
MK3
A couple of NeoGeo cabs...
There were a lot of older games as well, but I wasn't sure if they were in the origional cabinet or not.
All in all this place must of had 70+ games in it.. what a gold mine :)
I think my favorite part of this place is all the origional marquees he had on the walls.. 3 large walls covered with them. I asked him if any of them are for sale, and he looked at me like I was crazy.. I explained to him what I was building, and his look didn't change. Some people just don't get it I guess :)
I'll have to pop by that place every once and a while now.. Maybe i'll tabe a few pics next time if he'll let me :)
