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 |

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.  |

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.  |

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. Lance |

:-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? |
