To the people who brought arcade machines for their homes do they actually work around the house?

[FinalFantasyBro]

Someday I once I buy more own house I want to start my own home arcade with a bunch of arcade machines but first I just want to start this endeavor by only buying a couple of arcade machines but I wonder ladies and gentlemen how it feels to actually own an arcade cabinet at home instead of just needing to find an arcade around your city!

[Paul09]

Would be kind of nice to have some. But id get bored. I rather build my own. And gave anyone game I want on it. I also love to build one for flying or racing games.

[FinalFantasyBro]

Do you like engineer or program video games?

[Paul09]

Would like to be. But I'm nowhere good in those areas. I have no patience for thst. I'm more of hands type worker. Jack of all trades, master of none. Looking up ideas, and making it my own way or the same way. I'm just great with instructions.

Yes, my Sister and I got one for one Christmas, and it was fun to play.

[FinalFantasyBro]

Which game did you and your sister gotten?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

We had a ping pong game.

Our multi-media studio has a gameroom/bar on the side that has several classic arcade games such as PacMan, Space Invaders, Galaga, Rocky III Pinball, Sega Airline Pilot and that 2-player arcade game table with old games like Tank. They all work.

We also have dart boards, backgammon tables, a pool table and a Golf Simulator in there.

Nice and I definitely wouldn't have my own gaming room someday I am a huge gamer.

[NathanDavis]

yes, I had them for a short while... and one of my best friends he still has them

personally, I can tell you that they are great as a past-time, to relax... and especially to distract yourself for a bit

but the very very best is when you hang out with someone that likes them as much as you do

now, if you like them a LOT and love them... then careful, or you might lose track of time lmao, and how long you've been spending time in there and apart from the rest

[FinalFantasyBro]

Thanks because I really love arcade ever since I was a little boy and I definitely wouldn't mind having my own personal arcade in the comfort of my own home but I imagine it going to be really expensive to complete.

It's pretty cool, but the novelty of having machines does wear off, leaving them sitting unused most of the time.

The older electro-mechanical games really need to be used regularly to stay in working condition.

All-electronic games are a bit more forgiving of being used rarely.

I'd say to ask yourself if you're really going to use them.

They're pricey and also take up a lot of space.

[FinalFantasyBro]

Thanks and you right I definitely have to make sure if this is going to be practical and I will actually be planning on using these

No but I was looking for an old Coke machine for my home theater room. They were way more money than I thought. I have an old refrigerator and I took the door off it and replaced the gaskets and spray painted it red with a racing stripe down the front.

There was an arcade near my grad school and I used to go in there and play a particular pinball machine a LOT just to relax..
