I think when I buy my mansion, I'm going to have a House of the Dead arcade cabinet. It'll take me back to when I was a kid every time I play it.

I've wanted to build one for sometime, but I don't have a good area to work on anything like that. I do have a couple 1up machines tho...

I own three full-sized and fully refurbished arcade machines.

4-player TMNT
Street Fighter II
NBA Jam

They're housed as part of our overall entertainment suite in our basement.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Yeah that would be a fun thing to have in my theoretical mansion. I'd prefer it to be SFII, or maybe Ms. Pac Man.

Are the 1up machines full-sized arcade cabinets?

nah. they're probably 3/4 the size of the og ones or smaller. there's an optional riser you can get to get the height a bit better tho. totally playable tho...just a bit more intimate.

That's a lot of space to kommit to an old game. I'd only be interested if it's something with guns (or some other large peripherals) or something you sit in that move for some driving/flying game. But for something like Galaga or Virtua Fighter, that's a no.

the fact that they can come with lightguns(also showcased) is just the cherry on top.

I live right by Disney, and when DisneyQuest was finally shut down, I kicked myself for never going after the Arkanoid cabinet they had on their retro floor. I would spend hours playing just that machine, nobody was ever in line for it lol.

Nah.

They take up too much space for what it's worth. It would just be a novelty that would only ever get used when I'm having people over.

How much maintenance do they take? Both the regular and 1 Up ones?

I've thought about it but still live in an apartment, I'm guessing those of you that own have houses?

1ups is just cleaning. not much to them really. some are online so there's updates/fix sometimes.

Arcade 1ups are alright but they're limited to the games built in. Can't hack them to add more games.
