Hi, Hello!
Bela is here from Hungary. ;)
I know John and some other guys from Dragon's Lair fans forum, I thought I hop in here and show my collection.
I live in Budapest and infected with the arcade virus in the early 80's, but only started to collect these huge beasts in 2007.
I focused mainly on Zaccaria dedicated cabinets, but when I was on the hunt, I found a lot of other classics from the 70's/80's era.
I just finished my gameroom, I copy the post I made yesterday on DLF forums, I hope you guys will like it. ;)
Don't miss the 2 videos, the sound of a working arcade is awesome!
After several years of collecting, repairing and storing my cabs about 5 different places, seems like my gameroom is ready.
I call it simply the "80's Arcade", there are no modern stuff in there, everything is from the late 70's and 80's. ;)
Long story short, we had an approx. 52m2 large living room at the ground floor of our house, it was built in the 80's and it really needed a restore by now, but let the pics speak.
Replaced all the old aluminium wires with copper ones
We had a visitor every day
Our McGyver solution instead of the rusty radiator.
And finally, the cabs inside
I also made 2 videos (daylight/dark), but freakin youtube removed the sound from one, because of copyright issues, they have an automatic sound analyzer software and it recognized John William's Star Wars main theme.
