Post A Picture of Your Game Room

I hate arcade sticks. Deal with it.

Oh, fine.

Great setup, nonetheless.

My gamesroom after renovations about 1.5 years ago now:





Since those shots there's been a lot of additions, mainly of console stuff. It's a pigsty at the moment, but hopefully with my first holidays in 5 years coming up this Christmas, I'll have time to clean it up and get it back to a decent state again.

What kind of candy cab is that? and what game you got in it?

VERY nice by the way!

It's a Chinese knockoff cab. Based on the Sega "New Versus City" cab design, it's called a "Megalo City". Nowhere near the quality of the Sega cabs, but (a) you can buy them new (unlike Sega cabs, which you can't buy new unless you're a Japanese arcade operator in Japan), and (b) they cost 1/3 the price new compared to a second-hand Sega.

I help a local importer find and import these cabinets:

He mostly sells them to home collectors, as that's a bigger market here in Australia than actual arcade operators, sadly. As a "thank you" for helping him import the things, I got one at just below cost.

I've hacked a modded PS2 to go in there. I've already got a MAME cab (the black one - soon to be converted to a Dreamcast cabinet) and a standard JAMMA cab for original PCBs (the blue one), so this one plays import PS2 games.

My favourites are Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, and import shmups (Mushihime Sama, ESP Galuda, DoDonPachi Dai Ou Jou, Homura, Shienryu, Shikigami, and old PSX stuff too like the Parodius games, Harmful Park, etc). Occasionally newschool fighters come out too (Melty Blood, Guilty Gear, Arcana Heart, Tekken5, etc).

Japhei, I see you have great credentials for the head of a Japanese Gaming Blog. Nice cabs. Could you give a list of what boards you have?

Is that a Cobalt Flux I spy on the floor? I used to run one of those, before I started playing Pump it Up. Even though the corners are functional, the pad just feels too different from a pump pad (especially since the corners on pump aren't squares, they're rectangles). So I sold mine to a friend.
