Any gaming childhood dreams?

As far as Gaming concerned have you any childhood dreams you would love to for fill if you had the space, time or money? Such has a particular console you wanted but couldn't afford or just couldn't get your hands on?, an official classic Jukebox to complete a gaming room etc etc?

For me I've always wanted an arcade machine my whole life. I have fond memories of video games from as yong has 5 or 6 and I'm almost 32 now. I remember going in the arcades and being blown away by this Atari Vector StarWars arcade machine. I put plenty ten pences in it I can tell you.

Obviously living in an apartment getting an arcade machine up two floors with tight corners may be a problem. I've been seeking out a NeoGeo MVS cab for years now has I could own just one machine and switch games as easily has a game console.

I wanted a pinball machine, every birthday or Christmas I thought I was going to get one, but I never said anything about actually wanting one, damn childhood

As for PC games, i just wanted GTA after seeing my bro playing it.

I've seen many cool videos on Youtube of people who have rooms dedicated to pinball machines. They are amazing but I wonder how hard they are to maintain.

I always wanted a neo-geo as a kid, never happened due to the games insane prices. Got one eventually, then sold it and bought an arcade cab which ive still got now

Not really. Although I never owned an Xbox 360

Allways wanted a penny pusher.

A tough pick to get hold of, and the one i realy want id imagine 99% imposable.

Circa 1983, instead of the normal shelf push, it had moon craters, as they filled up they would drop.... made by cromptons, never seen one since.

Pinball i own, 2 tables sitting 3 feet to the right, arcade... id love a final furlong/2, but those are a couple of grand

First time I played Asteroids & heard the Puu Puu sounds then started drifting my ship about chasing spaceships blew my mind.

I'd love a Golden Tee arcade cabinet - played that to death when I was running pubs!

A Daytona USA cab would also be acceptable

Sega Turbo for me in an arcade cab and Twilight Zone for Pinball "Don't touch the door!"

I would want a twin Daytona USA cabinet as well as a Time Crisis 2 cabinet.

This would make me very happy.

To make my own console, Which im fulfilling at the moment.

All thanks to an xbox 360 case, a llano based pc and hyperspin

I always wanted an Arcade Cabinet in which I made!

Next on my agenda would be a sit-down racing cabinet, but might be a little big/expensive in my current situation

Never really had any growing up playing games. I had every console going since the early 90s and I actually got into gaming 'more' as I got older.

But my only dream would be to set up a dedicated gaming room for me and my friends. This would involve being rich though.
I'd be a mega comfoy room, with fridges for beer and refreshments.

If ever we fancied a gaming day or night we can just gather here and have a good laugh.
Not a great deail different to what we do now only we are all in our own houses.

The problem i'd face, is that if i was that rich, chances are i'd not be spending much time gaming anyway.

That's what I want as well. It would involve a lottery win I think, as I'd want to have a full on proper games room. Huge 60"+ TV, several arcade cabinets (mainly gun games like House of the Dead), an air hockey table, pool table (US size), all current consoles, a darts board, and a mini bar fully stocked. I'm pretty sure I could spend days on end in a room like that

Yeah, deff have to be rich like to go all out.
Basically like your dream Arcade with all your fave Arcade games, but with multiple set ups of top end gaming PC's and all current gen consoles.

Pretty much the ultimate games room with everything you could want.

Plus, I was rich enough i'd love ot make hidden passageways in my house. So i'd probably have the games room hidden away just to make it more interesting. A secret door behind a painting, and a spiral staircase leading down.
I'd be a right child If I was rich, just messing about like that.
