Depends on the game but on any Nintendo cab....sit for sure.  I'm way too tall for that cab.

On arcade I sit with Donkey kong, and Donkey Kong Junior, but I stand with Donkey Kong 3.

I always sit down when playing anything. These stools swivel which is handy and the Cat also hangs with me on one when i'm playing.

Nice excuse to show off your sweet lineup! Swap the Missile Command for a Q*bert (for my fiancee) and my gameroom would be complete.

Blargh, I want a Pac Man...

I'm in the UK so a swap could be a problem  ;)

The MC has been a huge restoration.....but it's almost there!

Currently restoring a DK also, i'll put a thread up here sometime.

I was actually gonna say, that collection is actually pretty amazing for someone in the UK. The "game collecting game" is a whole lot tougher (and more expensive) there.

Though I think Australia is maximum difficulty.

Sure thing Chris,

Donkey Kong is a hard task to find over here and obviously all the parts etc have to come from over there and yeah expensive also....a DK over here in average to nice condition will command anything from $1400 - $1700

Standing. It's pretty much perfect for me, since I'm about the height of the average Japanese man (5'7"), and even though Nintendo sold these games in America, it's quite clear that the cabinet was based around Japanese height. ;)

I stand when I play because I don't have a stool.

Those stools you show here are perfect. Where did you get them?

I got them from a local furniture shop. I'm in the UK but they are available on ebay. In USD they worked out at $35 each
