Hey guys and gals. For the last 10 years or so, I've been living in my quiet little 'starter' home with nearly 30 arcade machines scattered between 2 bedrooms, 1 dining room, 1 friend's house, and my sister's house. I finally reached a point in my life where I was able to purchase a new home with a basement big enough for all my machines. There is a bit of backstory first.
So the person I purchased the home from built it and when he finished the basement, he put up two non-load bearing walls to add a second living area and storage area within the main living area. I asked him if he would be willing to knock down the two walls so it would all be one big open area again, I'd pay his asking price. He said "Sure, no problem," So I went ahead with the deal, he called me and told me the place was move-in ready and everything was done. As you can see from the pics below, it was not. He knocked down the walls as agreed, but he left the basement in the condition you see below. From that last message, I never heard from him again. I'm an easy-going person and I knew that if I tried to track him down and make him do something about it, it would take forever and I just wanted to get it all fixed up because I was anxious to get my arcade up and running.
So I did everything myself. Got it all done for under $200. With the back story told, here are all the pics, complete with a final video at the end of how it all is at this moment, with all the spoils I got from the recent GGA Kombat Kon. First though, teaser of the "Kombat Section/Lair." Just wanted to share this because I know there are a handful of guys here who like the arcade scene as well as the home console stuff. Thanks - Mike
