That's hot. I went with their Under the Sea and love it. Here's what I did, I put a 21 inch black light florscent on the underside of each game so the carpet is lit up under each game.

PICs Please!
Quoted from pinballwil:My new small game room.
Do you have threads on your Death Star One and Medieval Castle pins? Saw them on YouTube but the video quality wasn't that great, but the pins look amazing!
Latest additions: Bar is graced by "motion" beer signs, and since it's a round-shaped bar, it just *had* to have round rotating beer signs:

Few adjustments to make the room flow better. I added a vintage 1955 kitchen table with the classic vinyl chairs:

Pin lineup adjacent to the "bowling alley":

Then the crowd pleaser Pac Man Battle Royale:

What's a game room without a pool table?

I just snagged this vintage Bell Systems switch board, almost perfect condition, so I'm now in the process of placing old-school telephones all around the game room and wiring them into this switch board. It'll be like an intercom when it's all wired.

FINALLY got the TV hung up in the Bar/Arcade!

Thanks,
your game room is an eyegasm 
Quoted from ramegoom:What's a game room without a pool table?
The correct answer to that question is... a game room with space for about 4-6 more pins!! 
Just teasing of course... your room is beautiful and I'd give up a kidney to have that much space!! 
Quoted from fnosm:Thanks,

Thanks man. I like that, eyegasm. 
Newcomers are always in shock when they first see it.
Quoted from EricHadley:FINALLY got the TV hung up in the Bar/Arcade!
So you put a tv in the bar/arcade area to watch Judge Judy and the weather channel. ESPN is on 24/7 you know 
Quoted from MustangPaul:Only have a few pictures where the lit up carpet is visible. especially under the games.
Holy crap!!
Quoted from EricHadley:FINALLY got the TV hung up in the Bar/Arcade!
Love me some Judge Judy!!! (Room looks great too!!)
Grimsby, ON
Last pics of the old game room.
The addition goes up spring 2018.
Going from 150 sq ft to 600 sq ft.
More room for games and boardgaming.
I started hoarding projects.
Currently working on a roadblasters machine. SF 2 retro pi cab.
DK cab.
And on the lookout for more pins.
Hoping for MB remake. And currently on the fence for TNA.

Wow kids and slot machines..... Not so sure....
Cut to: 25 years later: a smokey Las Vegas Casino. A one arm bandit...

I have some of the dwarven forge stuff. As well as battle systems. Great terrain and scenery. I eventually want a dwarven forge setup like the pic you posted.
Quoted from grantopia:I finished cleaning up my new High Speed today so I grabbed some new pics for posterity for myself and thought I'd share. Not as crazy as some of the stuff on here but it makes me quite happy!
The penguin made me think of these 2, I think they should be hanging in your game room

Well post some new ones.

Yeah! it just needs to explode and your all set!

That's fantastic haha! Love it!
Quoted from vwallat99:Here's my updated game room. Starting to run out of ideas on what to do!
Nice space! I'd run individual sockets for the neons to clean them up or some kind of border/strip to hide them.
How about some lit up playfields? In real life the dark pictures aren't that dark. The lights come in a string of 100, some inserts look better with 2 leds and the controller has 9 different effects. I have 9 on my walls and ceiling, none are above games though. Or get cabinet side decals, mount them and hang them. The MB I had done and gave to Lloyd (LG) and now hang's at S&S. On the top of the second to last picture is a MB art blade that I lit up with a color changing strip. The last 2 pictures are of 2 T2 bb decals that I had mounted, drilled out the eyes big enough for 2 different color mini domes to be mounted and lit from behind with 6.3v flex bulbs. All kinds of light up things you could do.
Quoted from vwallat99:Here's my updated game room. Starting to run out of ideas on what to do!
More neons, more pinball stuff on the walls like lit playfields and maybe translites etc.
I'm a big fan of covering the walls with neons and other lit up things.
Love the Walter picture. I'm a big fan of that movie. Great space I love the neons and lights plus you have room for expansion.

Me too, first time I saw this picture of Walter on his wall I thought he replaced the homework in the bag by a stern goodie bag.......that would have been awesome lol
You see this.....lthis is what happen when you f$&?ck a stranger in the ass hahahahaha
Quoted from ramegoom:Never ending funds....
FIFY
Looks amazing and awesome creativity. Phone switch is bad ass.

Yeah I remember seeing your gameroom with these not too long ago and was amazed but its a pretty expensive way to go for me. I went with the led strip border around the whole basement and liked the look of it but not everyone that has came through thinks the same sadly haha
Feeling very fortunate after stumbling across this home game room picture. Lets all consider ourselves very lucky we are able to have such nice things. Next time we see a person in need let's give a little. It does not have to be much. Just a little sometimes goes a long way.

Thank you. We all need to say this to ourselves EVERY day. My neighbor made a comment yesterday about how "some people" are under the poverty line but still have "a big screen tv and a smartphone". Where do we get with comments like this? We can be better than that. Consider yourselves fortunate.

Well if it's true what can ya say. We all chose what's important to us and we all spend our money on what makes us happy no matter how much income we have.

Very well said. It's human nature to try to question other people's choices, but we should take a step back and realize that until we walk in their shoes, we can't relate.

Just spit-ballin' here, but I've got a dynamite idea: MORE PINBALL MACHINES???

Large TVs can be had for super cheap on the 2nd hand market as people are always upgrading, and phones are indispensable for most communication in the modern world.
People that chide those poorer than them can stuff it.
