Basement Arcade Tour

[@adecann]

even your basement has a 80's look and feel. Amazing

@@adecann thanks! It’s always a work in progress.

Area 51 is so underrated. Some of those Bally/Midway shooters from the mid to late 90's were truly great games. Terminator 2 Judgement Day and Revolution X were great too.

[@randomfungames3208]

@@spectralthundr9525 I feel like Area 51 was one of those games you couldn’t escape but it’s a fun shooter and still gets my kids to play every time I turn on the arcade. I’m working on and operation Wolf soon I hope. That was my shooter as a kid.

Love that joust cocktail . The joust pinball would be awesome to have too.

[@randomfungames3208]

I agree. I see them every so often but they are pretty spendy. Maybe someday ;)

[@mdoyle1981]

That's a very well put together collection! You pretty much have all my favorites.

[@randomfungames3208]

Thanks, I have a couple more I want to squeeze in but it’s pretty much all my favorites from my childhood with a few extras splashed in there.

[@vintagerefresh]

Your arcade is awesome and I love the games you've selected to own! I'm glad to see someone else that has a few games that are also "mostly working" but you still have them out there and you're honest about them needing some tweaking. I'm subscribing.

[@randomfungames3208]

Thanks for the sub. I’ve been busy this summer so the content has paused but I’ll be back at it soon. Thanks for the comment too. I used to think I can’t post things unless everything is perfect but it’s just never gonna happen so what you see is what you get. ;)

@@randomfungames3208ever think about getting a newer racing game?

[@randomfungames3208]

@@randomdachshund2452 I have a couple of linked Mario kart 2 racers at the bowling alley and a couple of linked cruisin USAs at the car shop in town. While I do enjoy some of the newer racing games, my favorites have always been the earlier racing games. I wouldn’t mind getting a turbo.

Very cool collection

[@randomfungames3208]

Thanks so much!

[@DigitalJazzArcade]

I wish I had that much space in my basement Arcade. Awesome collection!

[@randomfungames3208]

Thanks! I probably should have been a responsible home owner and put in like a spare bedroom or something but too late now ;)

[@DigitalJazzArcade]

@randomfungames3208 my basement arcade does have a spare bedroom/ guest room but I'm thinking I can fit 10 more game in there lol.

[@randomfungames3208]

@@DigitalJazzArcade I believe in you ;)

What size monitor does the pac-man cabaret use? Awesome collection by the way.

[@randomfungames3208]

Thanks for the message. The Pac-man cabaret has a really nice looking 13 inch monitor.

[@SwainyAtRetroAsylum]

That s a great collection. You guys on the other side of the pond are so lucky having these nice big basements and being able to pick these cabs up for fairly decent prices. Here in the UK most of us are short on space and the dedicated cabs are usually really expensive. Maybe I should move over there 😂

[@randomfungames3208]

Thanks man. The basement here started off innocently enough, but all of a sudden I am out of space. Heh. I wish I had started collecting a little earlier. I came in right as prices were on their way up. Things seem to be cooling a little now but you never can tell.

[@jumpingeneral]

Nice collection 👍. Which company would u recommend to repair my asteroid pcb ?

[@randomfungames3208]

Thanks! I’m not sure about who I would send an asteroids board to. I have a few guys I reach out to but they don’t always cover everything. I feel like you best bet is to search KLOV and see who is most recommended for that kind of board. Once you get a few repairs under your belt you start to know who to call first ;)

[@adecann]

how much are you paying for these? I done some looking around and everyone wants $6k to $15k for a original arcade cabinet, so I am stuck with Arcade 1ups due to cost.

[@randomfungames3208]

@@adecann prices can be all over the board. Some of the games were free. A few of the more rare games hurt a little but as a whole I try to keep games under a grand when I’m looking. They are still out there but you need to really get into the hobby and meet people. The best prices come from the friends you make.
