What the games look like running. Currently (10) games are not working. Hoping all will be fixed by end of the year.

Incredible stuff.
Do you have a top 3 or 5 favorite cabs?
I might go with After Burner, Star Wars, Tempest.
Any particular games you would want to add?
Could you fit the 3 candies flush against that back wall where the big red is?
Seems a little wonky to have em crammed in the corner like that.
The LED UV fixtures are a really nice touch.

Thank you Chempop. The space where the candies are sitting isn’t as tight as it looks. Have about 4-5 inches between each cab, with decent space for seating. The wall space where the Neo sits is less than wall candies are, so that wouldn’t work. Tried a multitude of configurations and this was the best I could come up with, lol. Fortunately all games are on caster wheels so not to difficult to move around.

Have (38) cabs fit into essentially a 3.5 car garage.. including Afterburner Deluxe, Spy Hunter sitdown and (2) cocktails which are all space hogs. It was definitely a challenge, heh.

For top (5), wow that’s a tough call. Enjoy them all for different reasons.. but if had to choose: (Candy Cabs excluded):

1. Spy Hunter Sitdown
2. Millipede
3. Mr. Do
4. Rampart
5. Bosconian

Insane collection, props to holding meetups and having your collection get played! I really enjoy seeing dedicated cabs, for me growing up the vast majority of cabs I saw were all crappy conversions.

Assault is definitely a cab I remember seeing and gawking at. Couldn't wrap my head around the controls at the time

Thank you Gmegbln. Heh the controls are similar to previous tank games and takes a little getting used to.

Both sticks forward - forward
Both back - reverse
One forward, other back - rotates the tank
Both sticks spread wide - tank pops a wheelie then can launch a nuke
Obviously trigger fires

Lol Thank you BB, I’ve got some of those games in original PCB form that can be plugged into (3) candy cabs via JAMMA adapters.

The lower (4) columns on the left are the PCBs I have.

Candy cabs and PCBs were the gateway drug...then started collecting dedicated cabs with special controllers or monitors. I only have a few full size cabs that are joystick/button that could be played on a JAMMA cab.

I’d love to have more games, but am maxed out on space.

PCBS on the left,cool!
Love the dedicated cabs man...who needs furniture! Fill the whole building,right! Lol! Go for it man! Knock out a wall,build an addition!
I'm exhausted just thinking about collecting cabs.Maybe in the next life!
