Very cool room Paul, love it.
Bit of an arcade nut myself, totally get where your coming from.
Huge part of my childhood too and having that stuff around is a great reminder never to grow up.
Have a full size MAME cabinet being built for me, be ready around May(ish), look forward to it.
Meantime have the PC emulator too, as well as a wee cabinet I use with the Ipad running Mame,

and did custom vinyl graphics for it, showing all my old favourites, Galaxians, Space Invaders, Pole Position, Battlezone, Asteroids, Gorf and others. Fitted authentic arcade buttons and joystick to get the proper "feel" too...makes all the difference you know...

Doing the same with the full size cabinet, should be pretty cool.
grow up, me?
Naa...
Oh, nice system too.
