Title: My Gameroom Post by: Paladin on August 19, 2009, 01:29:13 PM First of all, I took these pictures before I got a slot machine. The slot is an IGT S+ Money Storm located against the wall opposite the pinball machines.
I just recently sold a couple other video games to make room for the Sinbad and Eight Ball Deluxe pinball machines. This should be my 'final' game lineup, although I've said that before.

The problem is, once you get all your games working you have to pick up a project to have something to work on. Then you don't have room for it and have to get rid of something.
But I'm sure I don't have to explain that to most of the folks here! Title: Re: My Gameroom Post by: bunnyslots on August 19, 2009, 06:51:51 PM Love the Tempest
Title: Re: My Gameroom Post by: Paladin on August 19, 2009, 07:04:50 PM Thanks! Tempest is my favorite game, and I've owned 6 of them and 3 have been restorations. I buy one, restore it, buy another converted one, then sell the recently completed one to fund the next resto. Too bad I loose money when I sell them, it costs more to restore than the games value. The feeling of bringing one back from a bad conversion is worth it though.
Here are some pictures of my latest restore. I plan on keeping this one!

Still trying to find one on the cheap....
Nice setup... Title: Re: My Gameroom Post by: StatFreak on August 20, 2009, 11:37:53 AM Tempest was one of my favorite games back in those days. I almost bought one from an arcade for $200 back in the mid-80s (or was it the early 80s?) when they were getting rid of it to make room for newer games. I just didn't have the room for it in my tiny apartment. :37-
Great job restoring those machines Paladin. :3- :3- Title: Re: My Gameroom Post by: CarruthersIII on August 21, 2009, 11:31:10 AM Great looking restore you got there. I also loved the Tempest game. :89- Always is a blast to play. Good looking arcade, i wish mine was that big. :96-
