Arcade game?

I own a mame and normally I'm playing 2-3 days a week.

However, over the last few month, I was out of playing :(

BUT I'm back again.

I play my MAME cabinet a few times a week, but I still do most of my playing on my laptop at night on the couch, when my wife and I are watching TV before bed. :)

Probably won't be playing too much until the HSC gets rolling again, though.

Not too terribly often.. I used to play my NEO GEO a lot. It's time I added more games.
I was all set to play the hell out of my Dig Dug cab, until I found out it had color washout. I replaced the caps but that didn't do anything. Maybe it just needs resoldering everywhere..?
I play my Phoenix every once in a great while.

Oops, didn't mean to quote that previous post. It's late and I'm tired.

Since my Galaga cabinet has been playable it's been almost everyday. I need a break though and fire up the ColecoVision or 7800 etc...

I added a second cabinet, Make Trax and MAME'd it. I decided to MAME my Galaga cabinet. I kept the control panels uncluttered by using key combinations and thereby doubling up on functions like 1 Player Start button is also fire button (press 1 Player Start along with another button to start game).

So, I've been playing about 4-5 days a week.

Comes and goes.. I have continued to buy machines but haven't played in 30 days or so. It's not as much fun unless you have a few people around so I am playing 7800 etc in my office.
I have continued to dust and clean them though..

I recently bought Crazy Climber and I play it at least 5 times a week. I am hopeful that I beat the T.G. record one day.

When I first got my MAME cabinet I had these visions of playing for hours on end every night.
Didn't quite work out that way.
I do manage to play some a couple of times a week, and my kids are on it quite a bit - so it is all good.
