MrAtari2600 #1 Posted February 17, 2008 how many times have you heard this line in a collectors life? haha, im 17 i have 2 machines, and i run out of space. a local seller has so many its sick and I CANT buy because of space issues, he has over 40 classic arcades sitting in back room and IM one of less then 20 who know they exist. [ owner of arcade = my friends uncle ] HOW do you guys who collect coin ops make so much space available? and would it be recommended to live in country and build an entire building for these things haha thats my dream, to build a second homelike place to load in arcades & game collections:D anyways. can i see pics of your guys places for ideas on HOW to organize rooms for these massive pieces of history?

Lemmi #2 Posted February 17, 2008 well where ever you live, you can always take over someone elses room if those 2 machines are in your room, try putting all your stuff up on the walls like your dresser, bed, and computer table ive always wanted an arcade cabinet, but the ones i want are out of my price range Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Galaga #4 Posted February 17, 2008 At least you have room at your parent's house. When I still lived with my parents (in college) there was no room for any games. This is when you could pick up Pac-Man and Galaga for about $250 a piece! Due to space limitations I have a Coke machine at my wife's work, a stoplight at my work and a game and stoplight at the in-laws. I sure wish that I had Peter Hirschberg's space (and money).

Flack #5 Posted February 17, 2008 No matter how much space you have, you'll always be out of space. I have a 14x40 building for my arcade games, and guess what? It's so packed right now that you can barely walk through the place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
