Again I have somehow managed to "fill" the garagecade to the point where nothing else will fit. I had said I wasn't going to do it again… but it's amazing just how much room a Jurassic Park Lost World … and a Dynamo Showcase cabinet take up. This, on top of the fact that I'd just ..
As any owner of a Sega NAOMI/NAOMI 2 with GDROM (or Netbooting), Chihiro or (I believe) Tri-Force systems will tell you… one of the bigger pains in the ass is the battery system that was used to retain data while the system is off.

Garagecade – February 2016 These shots are of the 2-car side of the garagecade. There have been some significant changes since the last photo set. Tron is gone. Gravitar/Black Widow is gone.
