General Arcade and Retro Chat - Insert Coin -

I'd love that. Missed out on one in Cork for €100 last year. Been wanting one ever since.

Just put through my next tshirt order though so no chance of that CRT for me this time

Guess I also shouldn't mention the candy cab is long gone?? :eek:

/Edit: No way am I letting the B&O or Trini go though. Gotta take a stand against the growing emulation invasion. :P :P

If that falls through for any reason, keep me in mind

So facilities in the college I work in just found a Megadrive and games under the staircase.

My inner magpie can't help but wonder what the games are :eek:

I'm gonna bet Sonic 2 and Moonwalker

Yes to both. You're not my boss are you..????

It's cart only unfortunately. There's also a cart only Alicia Dragoon. Two rarest games out of the bunch and they're cart only.

Lovely fully boxed common games like Street Fighter 2, The Lawnmower Man, Sonic 2 and The Terminator. Why does it always turn out that way? :pac:

So, ideas people! I'll be adding the new BVM into my current setup soon enough, however want to be smart about it. Apartment is looking fairly neat and stylish (!) at the moment and I'm trying to avoid going full neckbeard with too many videogames. :pac:

Here's how the current setup looks, which is a corner of a living room.



The 14 inch monitor will be going out today, and I'm going to try and somehow fit the new BVM in.

Can't put it where the 14 inch is as it's far bigger and will cause that unit to completely collapse.

Any ideas? I'd like to neaten the whole lot up to be honest, maybe a unit with doors so you can't actually see any of the consoles.

There's a decent run of wall space thankfully. Would probably fit two of those units in a row with maybe a bit of room to spare. So loads to play with. The only limitation is I've a bend in the hallway into the apartment, so ideally whatever I get needs to be assembled on site.

I'd like to minimize the visual footprint of the BVM as it's pretty large, so may have to go for something lower. (Ideally I don't want it higher than the tops of my cabs)

That unit is really good I think. It's low enough and can easily fit 8 consoles underneath.

I have my 32" in on top of it at the moment but I've had a 55" on it and fits great.

The only issue would be the weight. I don't know if it would hold the weight of a huge CRT. The unit is listed as max weight of 60kg. My big CRT is over 60 is say. Luckily I got a stainless steel table from a factory that was throwing it out. That thing can take 150kg+
