Well 3 years due to having it clogged up with to many games in all honesty.
I managed to change all that by getting a storage unit and getting rid of
the projects/extras/bits that I just don't have room for currently.

I've been working on this since December. There's still some things to do,
like the lighting and permanently fixing the plug sockets. I also have to
jazz the room up with some awesome retro stuff.

I have a few more machines to put into storage (Spot half of a Starblade -
that's waiting to go in!) and a few final moves to make but it's 75% there.

Enjoy.

What was the Major Havoc cabinet originally? Looks like it
could be a Millipede or Crystal Castles, but which? Nice
looking collection.

Nice collection of games Oll! Awesome Atari wall. You should swap
the Berserk that's in that row though with another Atari title (Fast
Freddie maybe). That ded. Cloak & Dagger is beautiful. I think they
all could use a good cleaning. Smile

Didn't see anything I liked. No Duck Hunt or Kangaroo.

I guess it is an okay collection if you like that sort of stuff. Who
gets to play them?

Pat D.

Let me know when you get them.

It's been ages since I have heard it called that and didn't pay too much
attention to the marquee, plus I forgot most of the details, including
it being in a Crystal Castles cabinet (I was thinking it was just a
conversion).

In general, I brain farted. Sad

You know. If that snake pit happens to be extra wide, I may have
seen 2 of those cabinets Friday. Anyone know of another game that
used a similar cabinet. Can't believe that is what it originally.
These games were really wide.
