Space Invaders
Missile Command
Asteroids
I ruled those back in the day. Before that it was Pinball and Captain Fantastic. I could put a quarter in and play all day back in the 70's. I'd get tired of playing so I'd give up the game with a bunch of credits racked up.
I still liked Centipede, Quasar, Tempest, and a bunch of others.
Damn, just thinking about the sounds in the arcades back in the day brings back wonderful memories.

I owned that orange Donkey Kong hand held in pic 2 when I was 7 or 8. Also had a brown one DK Jr.. lol. Very cool!
We had a Vectrex system back then, as well as Colleco Vision.
Not sure if this counts as classic game, but started playing Final Fantasy Tactics (PS1) on my PS3...forgot what a time sink these old games are lol.

Dad scored a Vectrex. For over 400 bucks lol. He has a flash cart for it and all the overlays. Quite the rare system these days. I have a “world record” max out score on baseball? Maybe it’s called home run. On the Vectrex.

I absolutely love old school pinball tables.
Is that a Gottlieb table? My favorite table ever is Hotshot. Nothing sounds or plays like an old pre digital table.

I love my arcade on a wet winters day. 20,000 games. I bought it going into lock down thinking we would be in lock down more than we ended up being. At least i'm set for the next Pandemic, lol

No, it's a 1971 Bally Mariner. Rebuilt it and all my other arcade games myself. I will post pics of the others later. Got it broken but it was made the same year I was and I liked the artwork. I rebuilt it and was going to put it in my cottage basement but ita too damp there for an electro mechanical machine. Would end up sanding contacts too much.

Very nice. The black stand up unit I posted used to be a Die Hard game but I rebuilt it. Now it has all Arcade, Pinball, Sega, Nintendo, Super Nintendo and laser disk games programmed. Made a custom control panel that lights up blue with sound or vibration, side buttons for pinball, a track ball, spinner, 2 guns and a top fire joystick for tank games. They are fun.

Here’s I guess my rig. The stick even has pinball flippers for virtual pinball. I want to get a widescreen monitor that I can turn sideways and have sort of half laying down, it’d almost be like real pinball.
Stick kicks ass with MAME and roms

That’s awesome. I hope to find an old fixable table one day and do the same. Electro mechanical is so much cooler, but there’s some really good newer tables I wouldn’t mind.

I would love to get my hands on this one but it's way to expensive. I am a find it and fix it kind of guy. I can repair circuit boards, old crt monitors, wire harnesses, and cosmetic stuff. I don't think I have ever bought a working large game, lol.

Here are a few more I have kicking around. The multicade is one of my favorites. Was a really beaten up Pac Man. I put in new glass, new artwork, wiring harness, power supply, board and monitor. Also removed the control panels and created my own custom built ones and put lighting above them. I put a board with over 300 games in it. Its really cool to sit down in front of. Here is a link to the Mame build. It's a bad video I did real quick but it gives an idea of the setup.

That’s amazing. I spent many hours at a sit down Pac-Man table at the bar my mom worked at. My stepdad had a key, so he’d let me recycle quarters for hours. Good memories right there.

Could you/would you build me a multicade? Obviously for a pretty penny. No obligation. Just curious. It’d be pickup only too, I imagine. That could be arranged so long as you aren’t out in like Cali.....
