Pincredible Arcade
Fliptastic Arcade
Empty Barrel Lounge
The Sanctuary
I need to come up with something I just call mine 'The Arcade'
Quoted from jfh:decided on Hot Shots Arcade
What do you call it now -'The Holodeck' or 'USS Enterprise Arcade'?
Quoted from DCFAN:The Upside Down Arcade is a great name if it is a basement arcade.
If by ‘basement’ you mean ‘second floor,’ then yes!
If I had a large collection..
Silver Ball Cellar
Electric Library
Scott's Temple of Greed and Rumpus Room
Pin-Topia
Quoted from Mudflaps:Great thread. I’ve been racking my brain on arcade names, so I’ll be checking back for inspiration.
I grew up at Aladdin’s Castle, and I love all things 80s, so I was trying to keep that same vibe.
Well your avatar is a B 52 so how about Bombers Arcade or the B 52 Arcade. Your welcome.
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:Arts Hookah Lounge
and what pray tell is in the Hookah young man.
Quoted from pinmister:What do you call it now -'The Holodeck' or 'USS Enterprise Arcade'?
We call that room the "Holodeck" or "Arcade". The "Holodeck" button or voice commands "Computer, turn Arcade on" or "Computer, turn holodeck on" power everything up with ship noises playing in the background.
The whole game room is "Hot Shots Arcade". Logo is on the screen savers and coasters. The Trek themed room was an after thought I came up with part way through construction.

Ducking Ace, that Starfleet Arcade is awsome ♥
Quoted from chuckwurt:Thunderdome.
Does anybody yell "embargo on" when it's time to shut the power off?
The KahrCade.
... and the workshop in the unfinished area is The Factory because it's where I run Kahr.us Circuits.

I certainly have enough B-52 stuff to fill a room. I’ll add it to the list!
The Growlery
Growlery \grou-‘ler-ē\ noun; a place of refuge or retreat when one is out of sorts or in ill-humor.
Hmm...I've never really thought of it, but I might have to do with something with LIONMAN! I did photoshop together this poster as a fake vintage pinball tournament. I will also be converting all of my games to tokens. I like the name Pinball Fury or Pin-Fury, but that sounds more like a tournament then a location. Might just go with something like "The Den", as in the lion's den.
Quoted from Mudflaps:Where are you guys getting the custom signs and mats?
I would tell you but I don't know my wife got it for me.
It has recently been suggested to me that I don't need a gameroom name for every room in the house....I have no idea what that means
I'm a huge Ghostbusters fan. My gameroom is decked in Ghostbusters stuff including a Ghostbusters arcade machine and GBLE. My wife and I came up with Ecto-1 Arcade but then I shortened it to just Ecto Arcade. We're about to convert a 600 sq ft space into the new gameroom and I want to have a little diner section with one table and booth seating around it and the name for that little area of the Ecto Arcade is going to be "The Ghost Trap" since it's a holding area for people. Haha.

AtTheArcade , I think you should shorten it further to the Ecto-Cade.

How about ‘Area 52’?
My game room is just my basement and five pinball machines; but I have a theme I want to do. I live in Providence and love all things transit/subway. So my idea was to do a subway station type theme (like the warriors scene) and call it “Providence Under” . I have a few subway signs, and could paint a yellow line on the floor you gotta keep back from near the games.
Here in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada we have a few “named” rooms and many unnamed.
The named rooms are:
- Pinballs Anonymous
- Riverside Arcade
- Lightning Arcade
- Johnny’s Pinball Emporium
- Phantom Amusement
- Swanny’s Arcade (my room)

Love that idea! You could really go crazy with it too!
Life's Escape Room. Had a custom old fashioned sign made with gold flake paint. Escape the world with pinball, arcade games, billiards, foosball, darts, air hockey, and a future sports bar area with a megatouch. There will also be a football hall with football memirbelia. Renovations in progress.
Goodbye Galaxy Arcade
Commander Keen 3 title. I used a bunch of DOS era games as inspiration when making a list, Land of the Longue Lizards arcade was the other top choice.
