I think some of you must have forgotten what arcades were like. Arcades are supposed to be filthy. That's part of the arcade experience! The cabinets should be covered in cigarette burns and pizza grease. The arcade room should smell like smoke, dust and sweat. There should be a seedy-looking, tattooed vagrant working the front counter. There should be nachos spilled on the floor and cola residue on the monitors. In the late eighties and early nineties I must have gone to a hundred arcades, and not one of them was clean.

I think the room looks okay, doesn't look filthy and is being utilized. But who cares! Its your house and you are having a blast! I see a lot of rooms on display here that do look like museums with beautiful displays that are not wired up and not being played.

Yeah, but when they are your home you dont need a visible layer of dust covering every cab. I use to got to an arcade that always had a lingering smell of vomit, but they had Die Hard Arcade and I had to beat it.

You need to orginze the cabs is a formed line, clean the room as much as you can and put posters on the wall to give it the arcade look.
