Discussion: Do you need to refresh a game lineup?

[DanP]

Just a bit of fun but I was interested in other peoples opinions. Do you need to refresh your game lineup from time to time to keep your interest up? I've found over the years that I'm always trying to add something else to my lineup. These days that might be a multigame add on (like a Braze kit, a JROK board, a multivector setup), a new game or more recently some spinners to my MAME cabs to give me *something* new. As space it now all used up it's got to the point where something would have to go from my all time fave games to make way for another new game. Obviously if storage wasn't so damn expensive this wouldn't be an issue but that's not the world we live in. What do you think guys, do you need to keep shuffling the lineup to keep yourself playing? Discuss (please!)

I've only got a handful of keeper cabs and no dedicated games room so it's cycle in and out of storage (the garage

) for me. But because I only have keeper cabs they are ones I really enjoy playing so it's a slow rotation from storage to living room.

I'm trying to be sufficiently arsed to dismantle the Naomi, stick it in the garage and un-flat pack my Point Blank cab to get it inside so I can play some PB3, but having wired the Naomi for jamma it's very tempting to fire up Rainbow Islands or BB for 'one more play'.

 

[guddler]

Probably, yes. But I just get bored and stop playing instead

I don't find this with arcade games as having a Jamma cab in the lineup allows quick and easy variety. With pins I like to rotate them every 6 months or so to try something new.

I find I sell stuff I promised myself I never would and also never sell stuff I said I would

Most of my stuff stays in storage until I can afford to move and build a dedicated arcade building. That's the plan anyway and I want to integrate video game and pinball championship league meets to it and turn it into a little open 5 times a year over the summer kind of thing for a £15 entry fee or something.

I don't have any real dedicated's but cab wise it's good to have a wee change once in a while

 

[DataEast77]

Sounds good alpha1 me and my bro will be there im sure
Love collecting this stuff and just enjoy it from day to day.....space is always an issue but we have a few ideas to hopefully solve this problem

 

[Milky]

I need to increase my number of working cabs to >1 so i've got something else to rotate.

Which reminds me, I must go and trawl the For Sale threads again...

Yeah, me too

Both at the tender age of 97 & 93

 

[guddler]

Me too - but you need to get a wiggle on mate, most of us ain't as young as you

 

[Muerto]

Im also have run out of space in my game room, but find myself buing cabs all the time, luckily I have access to free storage (!) so atm theres 5 games there.
The plan is not to sell the games but to swap them arround, and the ultimate plan is to buy and old closed farm, and turn everything except for the leving quarters into a giant arcade....

I have a running argument with Mrs Jodo about selling my mint restored Pac-Man cabaret. I don't play it. It looks fantastic in the corner but it's still just............in the corner.

I've tried to sell it twice to get some new blood in or even trade it but both times she's made me keep it. I never thought I'd be in a situation where I have a Pac-Man cabaret I can't get rid of

I'd gladly trade it for a Chase HQ or an Operation Wolf mini but I fear she'd hurt my balls

I just move mine around a bit (usually just after pulling them out o repair again), still a few I want in the collection but almost have it the way I want it
