Let&#039;s see pics of game rooms!

Quoted from ExitWound:
Tearing out the wet bar that came with the house since it was horribly designed. Counter top was warping, foot areas were all cracked. Just poorly constructed. Even the carpet was cut around the base so now there are holes where the feet stood.
Eh well. I'll be redoing the basement next year hopefully. New carpet, open up the walls, etc. For now, this will give me room for three or four more machines easily. Leaving the top section in place. Drum set will move beneath it.

Yeah. I'm gonna build some cabinet storage on the left side there where the sink was. The basement has no storage options at all.

Seems to be the Aussie pin show here, so I may as well add mine.
Pin room (was the spare bedroom).

I also have a BoP in the lounge, and an EATPM that I'm restoring currently.
As with others, looking at options for a dedicated games room space.
Cheers,

Nice line-up.

We went and saw the house with our project manager this weekend. We close on the house 09 Oct, and we move in starting that weekend. The big, big move will be 14 Oct, as the rates are the cheapest both mid-month and mid-week.

Here's the progression of the basement. As usual, no other pictures except the exterior of the house (trying to keep it a gameroom specific post - I should just make a thread on this as this is my very first home ever outside of rent, apartments, townhomes, shared housing, etc).

The drywall is up, paint has been applied, and the ceiling panels are now in place as well as the light fixtures.

First, overall shot of the basement. Cubby hole to the far right is where the 3-4 pins will go.
Picture 021.jpg

Focus in this picture is the cubby hole for the pins.
Picture 022.jpg

Quick picture of the media room. What will go here is still TBD.
Picture 023.jpg

Here is looking from the threshold of the media room back out across the basement. Directly in front of this POV is where the pool table will go.
Picture 025.jpg

And finally, here is the exterior of the home. Pretty much done except for the grass sod being laid out, driveway and sidewalks being paved, electric meter as well as A/C unit still need to be put in, some exterior lights, etc. It's getting there that's for sure...

There's nothin like your first house, especially having it built, I know your gonna love it. I had my first built in '88-'86, 1300sqft, 2 car tuck under garage. $109,00 with land included, got a great loan rate too.......13%.

Here are a few quick and poor picks of the "game room". It pales in comparison to some of the places you all have but it is my little slice of heaven. The basement will probably never be finished but now that I have claimed this space in the basement from the wife's storage, I will (hopefully) always have it.

Thought I'd finally contribute here after seeing all the Aussies post lately! In a bit of a mess at the moment but will likely stay that way as pins keep getting rotated through the workspace in the back corner..

Looking for a new house, so unfortunately I've recently downsized my collection. Still holding onto a few good ones though, and going to rebuild once I have more space, and enough area to really put a good multi-theme game room together. Sold my BSD, and hated every minute of it.

It's a good game, but I thought it was easy. I put up a score of 58 million on it at TPF this year.

Multiball is easy to start and it's easy to collect jackpot, especially if you cradle a ball. As soon as multiball ends you immediately lock them up again and repeat.

Quoted from sleazius:
Its the basement of my pool house, which I extended so that it would connect back to my house. So the pinball room (batcave) at the far end has a lift shaft (with a lift eventually) which goes into my billiard room in my house.
In effect the Batcave is a tunnel, it is almost 2ft underground. Its like a bomb shelter with pins. Kind of like pmwolf's setup only mine goes between two buildings.
This is the pool house, and the batcave sits under this lawn:
IMG_0508_s.JPG
The back side of the pool house, showing the basement underneath:
IMG_0512_s.JPG
The gamesroom with the pool windows down the end (those two rectangle windows look into the pool):
IMG_0515_s.JPG
The camera overexposes it, this is more how it looks from in the room:
IMG_0521_s.JPG
Looking from the far end of the batcave into the gamesroom gives you an idea of how long it is:
IMG_0525_s.JPG
Entrance to the batcave from the main room + the toilet and shower:
IMG_0529_s.JPG
Gamesroom looking back toward the batcave entrance:
IMG_0530_s.JPG
There is a full build thread over at Aussie Arcade if you want to see more. Couldn't be bothered upkeeping 2 build threads which is why there isn't one here.

This is insane!!!

I was looking through the poolhouse pics thinking "the only thing missing is a James-Bond-like windowed pool that you can look into when in the gameroom" and bam, a few pictures later you're presenting exactly that setup.

Congrats to one of the coolest gamerooms I've ever seen!

It's still more a garage than a game room, but at least there's plenty of games in the room!

If you're wondering what the screen is on the right, it's a C64.

Heh, nope! The car is relegated to the car port. The games are more important.

The C64 has a special cartridge that allows disk images to be loaded via USB. This way I have all C64 games ready to go. On that particular occasion it was Barbarian, BallBlazer is also good!
