So far I just have a MAME cocktail that I built a few years back.  It used to be a cocktail tetris in what I think was a generic cocktail cab (bigger than the pac-man style cabs).  It needs some TLC though and I have a few projects in mind that I'd like to get going.

You will get your first pin, then your second, then your 6th and before you know it you are moving everything in the house to make room for just "one more". Then wifey will say that's it! No more pins or else. Man I miss her already.... JK

Let's see, pins in the basement, the living room (well finally got Wipe Out! out - boy do I MISS IT!) - three storage sheds of pins and pin parts, two neighbours housing my pins.... and that doesn't count the ones bought and sold.  Or my slot machines... or the puck bowler ... or the pachinkos...  oh my.

It's a slippery slope.
