Title: How Many? Post by: godfather on November 06, 2013, 10:11:41 am How many machines do you need to collect before you can consider it an Arcade?
My friends and i were having this discussion we each own 5 machines. What I am wondering is what does the average arcade collector believe is the magic number? Title: Re: How Many? Post by: alby13 on November 06, 2013, 02:29:17 pm i call my 1 machine in a room an arcade. it's just semantics.
i'll give you an example. if you have a broken machine in a corner turned off uncared for, then you don't have an arcade. if you have a beautiful restored or one resurrected then it's all about the meaning and intention. it becomes "John's Aracde" or so and so's arcade. they are making a place to play and enjoy a piece of americana. technically 2 or more, in my eyes, would warrant an arcade location in my eyes. but then you would consider a restaurant or laundrymat with 2-3 an arcade, but that doesn't seem right. i'll expand on this later.

Bigger than Funspot atleast. That would be cool, but giving up a game is sad. Title: Re: How Many?

I've got 6 in my modified sun room (that gets no sun). And 2 in the living room. And 4 in the garage. And 6 at my dads house. And some in storage. Careful; these things are like peanuts.

When I finally get off the ground I will have my own arcade that's how I know. |
