I realized that I have not presented myself and though I should share what you guys have done for me. (Unwillingly or not)

I have always been interested in having my own arcade and/or pinball machine and when looking at EBay or craiglist. Well, they always seemed unrealistically price. Which, I believe in MAACA Not-To-Do List for good reason.

I would like to thank ALL of MAACA for one important task. For not making me look crazy. My soon-to-be-wife though I was insane for waiting an arcade in my house. Then I told her about you guys and now she counts her lucky stars that I don't go out and buy 5 pinball machines. (Although,secretly, that is the plan.)

Long story short, you guys are awesome. I don't post very often but I do read alot of the forums and think ya'all are a good bunch. Thanks for giving me a scapegoat so I can buy pinball machines and other large noisy furniture.  

Also, if any of you play Xbox - XXLcehawkXX. Toss me an friend invite just stating your from MAACA.

Cheers,
Hawk

Always happy to help!  

That reminds me, does anyone have a Mechwarrior 4 Pod? I'm not intrested in buying one, just seein' if someone does have one?

Oh,No. It was more like a Afterburner box.

I only found one machine and it was in some little rathole off some highway. It really made you feel like you were drivin 75tons worth of metal.

EDIT:
Saw the YouTube link afterwords, can't say it is simply cause I'm at work and they block YouTube. The picture is close to what I was driving but not exactly it.

EDIT OF THE EDIT:
YES! That is it. Except the chair was leather and there was a Plexiglas cover but that might be it's more pricey big brother.

Even if it wasn ' t the plan , that ' s what ' s gonna happen anyway ...  

Heh. Although my poor 3 1/2 is really small for an arcade. I'll make it fit.

I figure I'll have one MAME since,well, it's a mame and lack of room allows me to really have one machine. I'll replace the bed with 4-5 pinball machines though. I'm sure it'll work.

And eventually you'll have to move to a place with a bigger game room.... just a heads up

Yes the plan was to start small (worked for a about a year with one machine). Then the bug hit hard and now I have 13.  Just be warned.  Good thing is the wife knows 100% now I'm a goof ball and just lives with it.

Or continually "ramp up" then "purge" then ramp up again.... etc!

:-P Means I need to make more money... Or I just have to get rid of other stuff such as the stove and the fridge. It's not like I REALLY need them,right?
