I'm going to do a video shortly with the lights on so you can see the rest of it, really interested to see what you guys think!

Eric in Canada.

Very nice lineup thunderstorm. I've always liked your game-room videos.

Here's mine.

What is the things on the right side, attached to the legs possibly? Are they cup holders?

Yes, get them here. I have them on all my pins.

Those cup holders seem fairly practical but they make the pins look a bit tacky. I'm not 100 percent on those...

+1 Who know maybe Stern or JJP will build cup holders for their future games.

Like others have said, they're cup holders. I'll agree they detract from the look of the games, but they keep people from setting drinks on the glass of the machine next to them.

Pingulps are awesome period! I just bought another one from Pblife for my TSPP I just got.

Here's my latest pin, crappy cellphone pic, and also my little girl Regan.

Looks like Regan needs a stool! My son is only 4 weeks old, so he's not standing yet. I was curious what his reaction to the pins would be, but he doesn't really show any response, even when a knocker fires!

Got the games room finished! Just waiting for WOZ to arrive now

Here's some pics of my man cave.

Nice set up you have there.

The Twilight Zone pinball machine looks like so much fun!

pmWolf, I just watched the video on your website. Your collection is amazing! Just wondering, how many years have you been collecting?

I bought my first Video Arcade game in 2000. (Killer Instinct). My first pin (Indiana Jones) didn't show up until 2003.

Pete

Wow that's sweet pmWolf. Your game room is bigger than my house =D

One day, I know I'll have a collection like yours pmWolf. You have a fantastic collection.

That's pretty EPIC pmWolf. Please tell me you have insurance for all this stuff.

pmwolf your collection is like arcade porn.

That is the ultimate set up.

sick PMwolf!!!

Understatement of the year so far...
"Holy f@£kballs Batman!!!" is more like it...
You even have a Time Machine too?!? Wowwwww, you are definitely "a-ok" in my book pmWolf!

pmWolf - that's just insane. Better then most of the arcades I played in 30 years ago!

That's a bigger collection of pins than any one arcade I have ever been in!

I sold the Time Machine...does that mean that I'm a horrible person now?

By the way, thanks everyone for the nice compliments on the arcade. I keep working at it...

Pete

AMAZING pmwolf! How do you have that room wired to handle all that?

That is just...wow. Your post has inspired me to start playing the lottery again

Perfect perfect PERFECT arrangement, with the vids in the dark corners. Also love the care you've obviously put into lining up the pins - TAF, SS, MB all close to each other.. the two Indys back to back, one amongst the Sterns... beautiful.

After that last shot of pins/arcade,,,,, I dont want to even post my pics!! LOL...

pmWolf said:

No, you are still "a-ok" pmWolf. The astro carpet alone had me at "Hello"...
Now, if you said you got rid of that- I'd have a different answer for you.

I really over-thought a lot of it...trying to keep the Williams horror themes together, keeping all the Popadiuk pins together, etc. It got to the point where I was lining up Indiana Jones, Shadow, Champion Pub and WHO dunnit because they were all set in a similar old-time era. (1920's to 1950-ish).

Oh yeah, I also have the section of pins that have pretty bad themes, but are awesome games. (Johnny Mnemonic, Demolition Man, Judge Dredd).

Again....overthinking.

The carpet is still there. Thinking of re-doing the "old" section of the basement with all the vids. I think some funky carpet would add to the arcade "feel."

Pete

WOWZERS!!! Not much else I can say. Thanks for sharing the video!

Hey Guys..WOW WOW OH WOW. Some of these room are out of this world. I just closed on my new home a few months ago and starting my game room in my great room. When I get a few more pins I will probably move into the basement but who knows its just me in the house. Dont poke fun im just starting.

I'm gonna start looking for a new home by the latter end of the year. An essential I need, a large gameroom with hardwood flooring. Thanx for sharing.

Well, its a good start.

Thanks guys. Im going to the allentown show and plan to pick up another pin.

I really like the room you've got there! It's a great start, and I'll be curious to see how it evolves over time...

Pete

To Pete

Thanks man. Its a nice size room and should be able to make a great game room out of it. I will keep the photos updated evertime I add somthing. Pete check your msg.

Put a video up earlier. Pictures are easier to see. Ipad's quality is not so good though.
No Pics of Monopoly, Taxi, or T2. They are out on route.

I like your mix of older pins as well as DMDs

Tatman. Where did you get the acrylic diecast car display cases on the wall(s). All the ones I have seen arent cheap.

Pmwolf, you are definetly the man. I bow down to you with all of that. Your living the dream all of us wish we could have some day.

damn my 'games room' looks pretty sad after seing some of these
i call it small but perfectly formed.

What is the second flipper button on your Lotr for?

Uk skill posts on the lotr. Some twaddle about them being seen as gambling machines if they didnt fit a skill post that pops up when you press the extra set of buttons. Wow, my first post.

How good do those LOTR LEs look....
