Coin-Op Games

Orlandu's Arcade lives in two rooms: the garage arcade — four uprights, the pinball row, and the broadcast monitor racks — and the game room inside the house, where the candy cab and the cocktail hold court.

Dynamo Gen 1 · 1992

Big Blue

The classic American showcase cabinet — rebuilt power supply, and now wearing fresh Capcom-logo side art. It runs a Darksoft CPS-2 multi in a Jasen's Customs case, so the whole CPS-2 library is on tap — Marvel vs. Capcom most of the time. The full profile →

Console library

Beyond the cabinets there's a cataloged collection of consoles and games — more than 900 titles logged, from the NES shelf to the TurboGrafx HuCards. The hardware has its own page, and the PlayChoice-10 game boards that ran in cabinets like the one in the memoriam above have a wall of their own — all fifty-two Nintendo released. And if a word on these pages — JAMMA, CPO, shop-out, candy cab — went by without an explanation, the glossary has it.
