Past couple of years I've been getting into arcade games. Saw John on youtube and I love seeing the same enthusiasm in classic games! My first arcade game was a cocktail table at a Baskin Robins my grandpa used to take us to.

I got around to building my own table running MAME which I'm super proud of, and now I'm trying to get my hands on a cabinet to start a small collection. John and his videos really gave me the inspiration to get one!

Welcome, Speed!  Wow, you did a great job on that custom cocktail.  I dig the glass artwork and the wood sides - is that stain or vinyl?
I wish I could remember what the first arcade game I played was - my earliest game memory is actually of playing pinball with my uncle.  Probably why I still want a decent pin after all these years.  Good luck on your DK search, and let us know how it goes!
