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

Quoted from amkoepfer:
It would be interesting, but what do you rank it on? Decor, use of space, lighting, overall coolness? Or quality of games and amount?

up to the voter. basically like political elections: anything goes. i guess we could suggest recommendations, but who's going to listen to those.

No contest. I win, because it's mine and I can play them anytime I want. That being said there are some people who have great spaces which make for great game rooms.

was there ever a state championships of game rooms? we would have a registration period of a week, then we'd vote on our favorite from each state. it would be pretty cool, to see where we rank on a state level to see how far we need to go.
i'm officially proposing this. it would go much smoother with some help from pinside, i believe. something on the main page, at least a stickie on the forums.

Much with other things, I feel like how rich you are would be a winning factor (and that stinks), but it'd still be cool to see as a spectator.

We had grey ceramic tile installed @ the bar, bath & walkout @ time of construction years ago. It's directly on the concrete floor of the basement. Hope my shit doesn't crack or settle over those areas lol

Love the skateboards! Its been a long time since I've seem some of those, maybe 25 years. Looks like a Christian Hosoi, Vision Psyco, Hawk and Cabalerro to name a few. Super cool!

Great, lets rank game rooms so other can feel inferior for posting them up. Bad idea. I want to see every game room, from the closet to the Taj Majal. I respect them equally.

While things are under construction, why not add a ramp or some rails to the back of media room? Let your guests test out those boards.

Blacked out ceilings and duct work in my room, 36 gallons of flat black paint total. The ceilings are 9 ft. already, and the blackout gives an appearance of a very spacious and gamey room. Plus, the high top bowlers fit nicely.

Yeah you are right there! Thats probably only a 3rd of the basement too, so luckly I have plenty of room for more (I hope), plus as if I wasn't spoiled enough, the basement is exposed and has french doors. Makes bringing new toys in really easy! I do want to finish it sometime in the future though, maybe add a bedroom and bathroom down there as well. For now it works just great and I love it!

Absolutely fantastic! Is that a bingo machine I see in the first picture? If so, congrats on getting one, I saw you had posted you were searching for one awhile ago.

Must be fun with a bunch of people over

Nothing broken yet. Waiting for GB Premium to fill in the last pin spot, and the floor is wearing like concrete. I have had about eight parties in it so far, and planning a local pinhead night. If you're ever up here in the mountains, make it a stop point.

I really don't get what you guys love so much about those stooges guys, but your gameroom is turning out to be absolutely great.

No way! A proper "game" room needs a variety of types of games to play. Arcades, pool, darts, slots, card table, football, etc. Otherwise, it's just a Pinball Parlor.
