    Well,

    I am jazzed, after YEARS of searching, I finally got myself a working Cyberball Arcade machine.

    Now, all I need is the Rom Chip upgrade to take it to a Tournament machine and I am in Hog heaven.

    So far, I have collected the following arcade mahcines.

    NFL Blitz 99 & NBA Jam - one machine 2 games.
    Mortal Kombat 2
    Defender
    Galaga
    Pac Man - has all iterations of pac man ever created
    Cyberball - 4 player 2 screens.

    Info about Cyberball

    Right now they are in the lobby here at work, but some day I will have a basement and build my own arcade.....

    Anyone else love this game, or others?

    Are there any 1945 or is that 1943? Where you have a plane against a Japanese fleet? I used to be able to finish that game like playing for about an hour.

    I always loved Tron and NBA Jam. I never played MK much at the arcade but I was a fiend for it at home. I also loved the old atari game hard driving.

    I would love to start an arcade machine collection at home but my wife would kill me if I did. Where would you go about looking for old machines?

    That game was AWESOME!

    I spent many a quarter in that machine back in like 8th & 9th grades.

    Robots playing football. Does it get any better? Well maybe. My other old love was a basketball game called Run and Gun ...

    I would be offended if you did not stop by.....and let me know when you are in Austin, because I have NBDL tickets and will be giving them out liberally.

    Awesome collection, DD!

    Have you ever thought about building a MAME Cabinet? I know it's not the same as having the original game, but you can put 1000s of games on it.

    MAME.net

    Google Results for 'mame cabinet'

    One of my favs, a MAME cocktail setup!

    There is even a pinball emulator VPMAME now that you could rig up a pinball cabinet or combo MAME/VPMAME cabinet for.

    Looks like they are about $250 on e-bay for vintage arcade games. Seems like a good deal.

    I just GAVE AWAY a Donkey Kong stand up in June. The cabinet was a DK Jr. and the screen bezel was missing and the video was fuzzy, but I'm still thinking I coulda got a couple a clams for it. I'm gonna miss having it. Big hit at parties.

    If I ever get another one, it's gonna be Gauntlet.
