    Ok been following the “show us your game room” thread over the years and I’ve noticed stools/chairs in front of a fair amount of games… I almost always play standing however on occasion play sitting. I find sitting is great for playing from a ball travel perspective… which do you prefer?

    Unless I’m standing, I always sit when I play.

    Laying down when I play.

    Until you posted this I would have never even thought about sitting!

    #5 2 years ago

    I usually play while standing. I do have a tall stool, so occasionally I will play sitting.

    #6 2 years ago

    Standing. Never sit.

    I lay on the ground to play my IMAMACULATE Baywatch.

    Sitting is best for cocktail machines, and I find Baby Pac-Man and Granny and the Gators are both great sitting games.

    Wheres the standing all the time option?
    I couldn't sit and play, I wouldn't play anymore if I had to sit, there's a dance that happens kind sir. The pinball shuffle. Leg kicks and stance changes galore.
    Come on.

    Not exactly sure. Lenticular lense ?

    Standing, I don't get a good enough view of the top of the pf when I sit.

    #19 2 years ago

    At home I have been sitting a lot more and more. On location I prefer to stand, but I have played on location in quite sometime.

    #20 2 years ago

    I suppose it depends on how old you are. Old timers might need a nap between balls, so a recliner would be the perfect choice.

    Totally! Not to mention air guitar windmill then down into doing the splits when an extra ball is achieved. Pinball is more fun when the legs are involved.

    Agreed ,but I see some X rated shit going on with the coin doors in the arcades at times .There needs to be a limit to the abuse that thing takes .

    I've got a couple barstools around my gameroom, but mostly for between turns. I can't really play sitting, trying to straddle the front of the cab. How's that work for an adult playing seriously?

    Looks like I really am a minority here! I sit!

    #1 Stand, #2 Sit

    Same here, if I played on location more I'd probably be standing more often but can focus on the game more when my lower back and feet don't start aching when sitting.

    #27 2 years ago

    I’m hoping you sit for #2 any other way would be a little awkward! Lol

    Quoted from radium:#1 Stand, #2 Sit

    #28 2 years ago

    Stand normally I'm not 16 anymore but keep think i am. Some days you have to do what you can. So plop down on stool.

    for all you folks sitting - do you find it as easy to nudge when sitting?

    I have no problem nudging but all my games are on carpet with furniture sliders under legs.

    #31 2 years ago

    I sit playing robotron.

    #32 2 years ago

    No, the machines sit on Laminate floors. You can nudge them just looking at them wrong! Lol
