My Basement Arcade
Here's a basic layout of my basement arcade as of October,
2002. I have a space problem, much more than this map indicates. The
problem is my garage is 1/2 full of games I'd like to move down into the
arcade. The south wall is all storage and shelves, and the smaller room in
southeast corner also has some storage shelves, washer/dryer, etc., so there's
no room for games in that area.
|
Gravitar, Quantum, Black Widow, Space Duel, Star Wars, &
Empire Strikes Back. *note* Star Wars is currently over by the
workbench for monitor repair. |
|
APB and Eliminator. Eliminator's board went all
kerblooey recently. I need to see what I can figure out on it. |
|
|
Tempest & dedicated Major Havoc The Havoc is
tucked away in a corner, where I won't ding it hauling a cabinet in or out
of the basement. :-) |
|
Satan's Hollow cocktail, and Pac-Man cocktail. I spent
many a quarter in Pizza hut playing Pac-Man in these type of cabinets. |
|
|
Laser row, consisting of Space Ace (dedicated), Thayer's
Quest, Dragon's Lair, Dragon's Lair II, and Cliffhanger. |
|
One more laserdisc game, Badlands. Also my Gauntlet
and Q*bert. I installed a new monitor in Gauntlet, and the
difference was incredible. |
|
|
Laser row, different view, with Star Trek pinball trying to
get into the picture. |
|
Sinistar, Zeke's Peak, and my mini Omega Race, completely
restored by PlayerTwo. |
|
|
Domino Man, Journey, Zwackery, Zwackery, Budweiser Tapper,
Ms. Pac-Man. One of my Zwackery games is on the fritz. :-( |
|
Workbench. Don't be fooled, it's usually very
cluttered with parts and tools. |
|
|
My only Jamma game, Rolling Thunder. I have some NOS
sideart for this, but can't bring myself to apply it, since this cabinet
has 95% of its art. |
|
Pat-9000, CATbox, and my artwork filing cabinet. It's
an architects' file, used to keep blueprints flat. It's perfect for
storing CPOs and sideart. |
|
|
Marble Runner! Beep Beep! I have all 5 kits for this, and
thanks to PlayerTwo, it's running again! Yay! MM is my
favorite kit, but it's getting frustrating, as I seem to have reached a
plateau in my skill level. Maybe I'll play Indiana Packrat for a
while. |
|
Star Wars, with the monitor ready to go back in, as soon as
I order a new HV from Wintron. |
|

|
I'd be remiss if I didn't show a few pictures of
my 'warehouse', a.k.a. Garage. Games waiting their turn to join their
comrades in the basement: Time Traveler, Insterstellar, Cobra Command,
Super Don Quixote (dedicated), Timber, NFL Football, Space Fury, and Star
Trek SOS. There's also a spare empty Cliffhanger cabinet I plan on
assembling some day, a working Thayer's Quest, and a Dragon's Lair II
which I am trading to Jon eXidy.
