Benny's Arcade Life
The ongoing saga of a retro-gamer building his home arcade dream.
The Game Room
My game room (A.K.A. The Moonlight Mini Arcade), started way back in 2010. It's been a slow-going project as I have one son finishing up college, and the other one is just a couple years old. I'm trying to kick it into gear again, as I have a large painted mural to finish, as well as the creation & build-up of at least four more arcade cabinets.
The game room layout:
Below is the current plans for the arcade layout. Note that it's a fairly modest space, hence the term 'mini' in it's name. I should still be able to cram in four upright cabs, my pinball machine, a cocktail cab (and in the distant future, a hand-built, mechanical pinball table).
So far, the First cab (Horizons) is about 95% complete. The pinball machine is is good shape, and I'm currently converting it to LED lights. The Asteroids cab is going to need some cosmetic improvements, but it's totally playable.
What's still in waiting: I have the initial side panels created for the 4-player Mother cab, but the cocktail & Vertigo cab are still in design phase only. The mechanical pinball machine is kind of a dream project for me; nothing written down yet, but I do plan to make it happen one day . . .
