A couple of days ago I was asking for links to Arcade Related websites,
and was asked by someone once I got some together to post them
somewhere so everyone could use them. Well, after a few days of
sorting out good links from dead ones and trying to put them in a
proper place, I'm finally done. Tell me what you think.....

Later on I will put a small description of what the site is next to the
name. But for now, I'm tired...:)

Hi,

A very nice and much needed site.

Don't forget the arcade art library for those who want to make their
own reproduction artwork.

Very useful site.

But you forgot a few sites I find useful for parts.

Bob Roberts ( The King of Parts )
http://www.therealbobroberts.com/

Ed Krzycki at Great Plains Electronics ( Best prices on Electronics )
www.GreatPlainsElectronics.com

Mark Capps (aka. Big Dog ) Best prices on chips ( Ram, Roms, CPUs, etc...)
http://www.arcadechips.com/

I'm sure there are plenty more,
but I've bought supplies from all three of these guys
and have been very happy.

Cheers,

If you could give me links to the other sites you would like to see on
there then I could add them since I'm not sure of the addy on them. I
would like to add more on the Navigation column but am limited to 7
pages right now. I like your suggests for name changes and i'll see
what I can do on that too.

Nice layout.

Another place to look at is http://www.cbel.com/coin-op_games/ they have 756
Arcade related sites listed there. There's a little bit of formatting used
there, but not much.

Oh yeah, I'm trying to stay away from the MAME stuff, but enough people
want it on there then i'll have no problem adding it to the site.

Great job! It's nice to have all of these links in one place.

A few comments/suggestions:

- You should add Bob Robert's site and the Wico site to the arcade parts
list

- I didn't see the C.A.G.A. site anywhere. This could be added to the Arcade
Restoration list. Or maybe have a separate category called "Arcade
Artwork"???

- How about calling the "Dip Switch Settings & Misc." list "References"? The
KLOV and GameArchive sites can then be moved here.

- It would be cool to link to sites regarding building cabs and MAME
machines (unless this goes against your intention of the site).

- You should widen the "Navigation" column (nitpicky, but it just seems too
narrow)

Whether you do mame sites or not is up to you. But there are a lot of sites
on that link that are about pure arcade and pinball machines. There are a
few Mame super sites out there, such as www.Mame.net and
www.arcadecontrols.com that I'd recommend just listing a few couple of those
and leave it at that and stick with your passion. 🙂

As much as I would like to include Gamerooms, at this point i simply do
not have the room on my webpage for them. At least not right now.

BTW....You have a cool ass GameRoom Brent
