Well in my loft I have a MAME cabinet I'm particularly fond of as I pretty much built it from scratch. It's a 4 player cabinet with a trackball. It's great for having friends over and having a few beers while sitting around shooting the shit and playing old school video games.
Even though it's rather redundant I also have a cocktail table Ms Pac-Man machine I've restored to like new. I was thinking of making my MAME cabinet a cocktail table cabinet at one point but I really wanted it to be four player so I opted against it. That being said cocktail table cabinets are awesome as hell and I still may end up getting one that I can swap the guts of my MAME cabinet into for when I'm playing by myself.
Rounding out my little loft top arcade I have a like new Revenge From Mars pinball table I bought and am in the process of getting up and working again. It's one of the tables that uses interactive video hologram type stuff on the playing surface. I got this gem from an arcade that was closing for a couple hundred bucks and all the work it needs will end up costing me about a days worth of time and another 200-300 dollars. Needless to say I was tickled shitless when half the stuff he said needed replaced turned out to be working fine. Not bad for a table that sells for about 2-3k typically.
I'd really like to get a Time Crisis (or TC 2 or TC 3) machine if I could find one locally as I want a shooting game up here badly and the Time Crisis series is one of my absolute favorites. I'm also thinking about possibly picking up another pinball table as well because I have the room and I really like pinball.
