Sad, Snowy Arcade Cabinets

Look, I get it. Arcades are businesses, and sometimes when machines die they aren’t worth fixing. But for goodness sake, can’t you at least burn them in a funeral pyre, or bury them, or cover them up with blankets or something? They look so … cold.

Several more photos of machines sitting out in the rain and snow here. No, that’s not more rain; it’s my tears of sadness.

  • There are at least two non-redemption-game cabinets in there that could’ve been converted into… well… something. (By someone with more time than I have.) Argh.

    Grrrrrrr… I hate seeing that. Such a waste! :(

  • Justin

    So relieved. Based on the title of the blog part and r recent weather, I thought the arcade roof fell in.

    I’m sorry but those games look pretty crappy.

  • Rob

    Most of them are redemption games, but there are at least two cabinets (the black one and the red Dynamo Z cab) that, with control panels, would have made decent cabinets.

    I wish I could come up with something to turn that fire engine one into.

    redemption games:- non working removed of copper wire by crack heads.
    these were originally from Increddible Pizza (now the “lido”)
    Red Dynamo Cabinet was mine, tube was poop, I needed a control panel, was a Tekken 2. It had swollen water damage, before it got snowed on.

    That’s too bad about the red Dynamo. I always wanted one of those “Z” cabinets.
