up close of Pac serial number... my cabinet was 54411 on the manufacturing line.

Oh yes! That does help. Thank you

i picked up two new games this week... popeye and a star castle... another black a white game by cinematronics... i will post pics tommorow.. but is there anyone else out there who owns a few game machines? or anyone who plays on mame or what not?

I'd like to play on MAME, but I'm having a lot of problems installing it on my computer.

Unlike yourself, I don't have the space for arcade machines. My interest in retro-gaming is limited to emulators and computers/consoles from the 80s/90s; the Commodore VIC-20 and the Sega Game Gear are the ones I'm most passionate about.

I wish.

Like I said, I'd love to build a MAME cab some day, but I don't have the money or a place to keep it. I was thinking of doing a cocktail one so I can sit on one end for vert games and the other end for hor games, but it's just an idea...the other alternative is to make a screen for an upright that can rotate, but I saw online a guy who had built one that way, and he said it's a total pain.

I think my favorite arcade game is probably Sega's Bank Panic. I don't know why, I just think it's great, and I wish I didn't suck at it so bad.

ok sry i didnt see ur other post.. yea i wish i had room for more but im currently maxed out, the bad thing is i can get hundreds of more parts but the hardware of the early games made it nearly impossable to interchange the internals... which means it was prepatory hardware of that day to prevent copyright theft...

Tell me you have mortal kombat you MUST have mortal kombat!! !

nope i have the game board for one.... its sound board is dead.... the hardrive crashed... all my games were made before 1986..

wow I am stunned and so happy that you collect them, wow

To me the ultimate was the star wars arcade game, It still gives me goosebumps to think of it, now that was an experience

are u talking about the cockpit / upright vector graphic atari version made in 1982? or the new version?

personally i want to own a few more games when i move... the hard to find quantum.. major havock... gorf... kangaroo... centipede.. and burgertime.. just to name a few.

You need to get Dayatona and Sega Rally and than invite me to your place for a session, seriously I've just gone to my "newly refurbished" Timezone and man did it suck they got rid of Dayatona the writing was on the wall i suppose when they'd gone from 6 cabinets to 2 than zilch , Rally their was no warning they just got rid of it,

Game centres today are nothing more than rhythm and gambling centres is that what kids really want these days.

I wish I hadn't charged my power card it was a "school holiday special" charge $ 30 get $ 15 free.

* todays Timezone kiddies tomorrows pokies problem gambler ?

I'm surprised some one so young could be so keen on the Delorean kinda ugly with sticky controls. Most kiddies these days seem to be interested in M (BMW) Call of Duty or Subaru WRX (Halo)

Lucky for me I can appreciate all games on the merits, though I draw the line at the garbage at family entertainment centres , rollers coaster Sims at $ 5 bucks a pop are the Faux modified Japanese faux Rolls Royce at 1/10 the price . rhythm games are the Hyundai of this worlds , remains popular for reasons I do not understand and continues to grow so over the years. (in Europe their are way better options for similar money such as Fiat Panda or Renault Twingo for similar money. Gambling simulators such as "deal or no deal" not sure what vehicle that would be ?

Anyway i think those retro games have charm , the 80's those where the days except they weren't they kinda sucked for me .
