    It's been about two years since I have posted any photos to this thread. See page 2 for what's current.

    I finally got around to taking some photos, and a video of my game room. I've been working on it for the past couple of years.

    I had sold almost my entire collection of 18 pins 3 1/2 years ago to help buy this house. I am still rebuilding, but doubt that MM, CV, MB, AFM, will make it back with what has happened with prices since I sold them.

    Thank you for all of the great compliments!

    Quoted from ENDOFLINE:

    wow.... is the ex disney artist a family friend?? i love how it all glows too, goes really well with the carpeting.

    There is a local indoor "Monster" mini golf course that is done in all black light. Their UV light artist is the retired Disney artist. He had been with Disney for 20 years. It was really cool to see his portfolio of work he had done in the Park. I hired him to do the BBB mural, Bar sign, Bar bottles, and some other black light reactive work in the game room.

    Quoted from SealClubber:

    F'n awesome. Question: Do the lighted translites cause glare on the PF glass being that high above the pins?

    I suprisingly don't get any glare on the pins along the long wall. I was getting some glare on the pins under the mural so I moved most of my invisiglass to those pins and no glare now.

    Quoted from Flake49:

    Pretty F'n cool man....congrats to you. You have a EDOT! Bastard.
    Yes need info on house setup. Those ceilings are huge and it looks like there is a garage door on one end? Is this a converted garage?

    The house has a nine car insulated garage with double deep spaces. I kept a three car garage, and developed the rest into the game room. The house was originally built with the intent to have a 1/2 basketball court.

    Down the road I plan on building out and adding another 700sq'. Along with that project I want to create a second level in an open horse shoe shape that would extend from the perimeter walls like an elevated cat walk using a spiral stair case.

    Quoted from jrivelli:

    I wish the video was more HD, but I'll live!

    I am looking forward to adding couple new pins to the line up in June, and will re-do the video in HD.

    Quoted from HELLODEADCITY:

    EPIC ! from the high ceilings to the rocking carpet - great job
    BTW what are the names of the 2 gun games ?

    The EM gun games are Williams Ambush and Williams Stockade, both from about 1973.

    this is an amazing game room. I would turn my entire house into something like this and just live in there if I could... ughh I need to stop dreaming of this lol
    I have a question for you, where did you get those "coming soon" and "now playing" movie poster signs? Did you buy those like that? Or sort of create it yourself?
    Thanks! and awesome room!

    Those are commercial theater light boxes. A home theater store was having a bankruptcy auction and I scored them there.

    I did build these pictured below for my theater room. I used 2x4's wrapped in red suede with 3 36" T-8 bulbs. Only double sided posters look good light boxes.

    Quoted from Esoteric_rt:

    Holy hell...very nice. Some good ideas used in your game room.
    How long did it take you to build up your collection?

    Thank you. I bought my first pin in 1992, Earthshaker (still have it). Then started over from scratch with the exception of ES in 2010.
