Other Games
about 5 years ago i bought a mame arcade machine with 1000 games loaded. the wife wasnt real happy with me and we didnt have a lot of room in the house so she made me leave it in the garage. it sat there gathering dust and only getting played once or twice a year. i moved house about 4 weeks ago and the machine has found its way into the house at last. over the last week o have been introducing my 5 and 6 year olds to the joys of some of my favourite coin op games like: snow bros, cobra command, golden axe, doble dragon, raiden, tennage mutant ninja turtles, twin cobra...
luckily i have it switched to free credits because i think it would have cost us $200 to beat teenage mutant ninja turtles tonight.

I don't know, could be a good savings tool. Play the games as normal, with the coin collection, then empty it out at the end of the month and have a meal out or something.
Using Ultimate license - that means anyone can play.

I had grand plans to build a mame machine at one point. Maybe when I get my workshop built I can finally finish err start the project. I do have a controller board in a cupboard somewhere and a bunch of joysticks and buttons kicking around the place.

hah - no the wife is also inside - she is just behaving herself these days
i always wanted to make a cabinet too - but you can buy one fully assembled with everything for $400 plus the costs of getting it from china to your door...

But I think if I did it now I'd weld a frame and go for 'space-saver' look. Maybe a single upright backbone of RHS with the monitor attached on a swing out arm so it could double as a TV in the workshop. Ooo the Control Panel could fold up on a hinged arm too out of the way, that would be pretty cool. Then I'd only need to have the PC part of the equation tucked away somewhere.
