    Home Arcade (what games do you have at home?)

    I would like to hear what arcade/pins people have at home.

    Here's my collection:

    Video:
    Playchoice 10 (4 of 'em)
    1942 (Scramble cabinet - but was running Halley's Comet when I got it)
    NARC
    Strikers 1945
    Gyruss

    Pinball:
    Raven
    Goldball
    Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy (home version)

    I only have Rygar for now (picked it up for 150 bucks). Its in an old Joust cab.

    I'm planning on building my own mame cabinet from scratch later.

    It's really cool to hear what people have in thier homes to play.

    I'm currently trying to get my office/arcade finished so that I can have a place to put all of these toys that is out of the way. Most of my machines are in storage just because of lack or room.

    Does anyone do the JAMMA thing?

    I wired up the Scramble/1942 cabinet and the Striker's 1945 cabinet for JAMMA and now can swap out multiple boards - and so many true arcade games can be played quickly an easily. Yeah, I know - I should probably make a JAMMA adapted PC and do the MAME thing, but there's something about the real hardware I really enjoy.

    Game boards:
    Donkey Kong (not converted to JAMMA, yet)
    Galaga (but I blew it up - probably have to replace a transistor )
    Halley's Comet
    Soldier of Light (horizontal game - and all of my JAMMA cabs are vertical)

    oh, and I have a Cherry Master machine with a few different game boards for it as well - but it's not really a game because as far as I'm concerned there is no game play.

    Bryan, what do you have? Looking forward to reading your list of pins.

    Shane, didn't you mention that you also have a Xybots, a Gauntlt II and a Championship Sprint?

    I remember an old episode when you told us how you started collecting them (how lucky can you be to have someone give you a cab!)

    I moved them all out (sold them) to make room (and money) for the pinball. With a MAME cab, I'm pretty well covered. Except for the wheels on Sprint .. sigh ...

    Shane: What is Bone Busters like? I can't remember ever seeing one of those... And I understand selling/trading in order to make room for specific games you really like... but I would have to be on crack before I could sell a Gauntlet machine.

    Sean: Rygar - classic, I love that game - it has gotten it's share of quarters from me...

    babydoggen: I haven't ever seen/played Rad Mobile, but after checking it out on the net it looks like a lot of fun (and they compare it to one of my all time favorites "Outrun" quite often). I'm going to have to try and run it down in emulation... I like the wiper/headlight features mentioned - seems like a pretty cool idea. I assume you have the stand up version and not the cockpit/sit-down?

    Slightly off topic (but in response to Shane's mention of Sprint's wheel): A MAME cabinet would be great (in fact I originally bought the NARC just to turn it into a MAME machine) - but controllers are the big problem (steering wheels - both a free wheel spinner as well as a more modern force-feedback unit), and so far I don't think anything has been done as far as replicating the arcade force-feedback in emulation. The spinner would be great for many games - Tempest, Arkanoid, etc...
