Hey, this thread is for gamerooms, not game houses.
Absolutely incredible! I bet the kids had a blast.

That looks so comfy, lots of room for more games.......so when ya gettin more games.

Kids were glued to that Super Chexx, non stop. But to be fair, they were all on a hockey team, so it's a natural. Non stop Battle Royale PacMan too. And for whatever reason, they were all about those Bally slot machines. I have created future gamblers....
Quoted from CoPinfan:Playing pinball on a rocking boat would add a whole new dynamic to the game.
There was a sttng and a broken down starwars on a ferry from Victoria to Vancouver back in mid 90s. Played the same I remember but those ferries are gigantic. A smaller boat would definitely add difficulty to anygame. Whitewater or fishtales anyone?
Quoted from MustangPaul:I got mine on ebay $6 delivered, Gorilla tape works great. With low light I think flat looks great, in a theater the brightness of the screen at times really lights up the room so that's one reason they use fabric like material.
I clicked links from amazon orders, but they are gone. They were $2 a piece lol

The first time I got lost in the zone was on the tsawwassen Schwartz bay ferry in the late 90s. The boat did affect the ball by slowing it down occasionally. It made the game a little easier, hence getting lost.
So is this still considered a dining room? The Realtor called it a dining room when I first bought the place, it’s where I “dine”, and that’s my dining room table.... so to me it’s my dining room. I don’t have a designated game room, as EVERY room needs games!

Yeah that long one sided dining room table on the right is perfect.

It’s a little known fact that the Last Supper was eaten on a shuffleboard table... you might be on to something here.

Quoted from VectorGamer:My game room is only 12x15 so I can only fit 3 pins for now. I can fit a fourth pin in the corner if I sell a few arcade cabinets. I picked up the Solar City and EBD within the last week.

Most video games are pattern-based which can get boring compared to pinball which is random. And as a result I stopped playing classic video games for the most part. I have a full size Asteroids and a cabaret Monaco GP that I won't sell.

I saw you said you had asteroids, so that's comparable Wish I hadn't sold my Space Duel.

Way cool, I'd love to see the rest of your gr.
That's a nice looking set up you have Wayner. I like the
seating area..
Ball Bowlers are always a highlight in a Game Room.
In that one photo, one thing looks a little off on the
bowler itself. You spot it?

I assume you are referring to the scores/frames which reflect when I was part manually testing machine particularly 6th player. Yes I should have reset after testing to preserve machine pic integrity.

Table size would drive me crazy. Why so small?
Quoted from wayner:I assume you are referring to the scores/frames which reflect when I was part manually testing machine particularly 6th player. Yes I should have reset after testing to preserve machine pic integrity.
Oh, I see. I figured the machine was shut off and back on after the 3rd frame, but right, I wasn't sure about
the 6th Player's score..
The machines in my game room only play regulation (which is usually the most popular), but on a Chicago
Coin I have set up elsewhere, I always liked playing Dual Flash..
I also wouldn't mind seeing additional pics of your room (and machines)..
And BTW: Your Bowler's a 16 footer, right?
Quoted from lordloss:Table size would drive me crazy. Why so small?
Because this is a gameroom not a commercial diner and decisions on where functions are located invariably have space limitations. But it certainly does not drive me crazy-I am just happy to be able to have a gameroom diner. This is a pic of the area prior to re-upholstering the diner booths.

Yes it is a 16footer and regulation tends to be the norm for play. I had problems with the strike/spare unit on the 6th player-turned out to be a badly deformed torsion spring which I have now replaced hence the rather odd score reel results while I was testing. I will post some additional pics when I take them.

I traded my Space Duel for a Burgertime that I traded for a Space Shuttle. I kinda miss it but I don't miss working on those vector monitors and boards.

Quoted from Supersquid:And here I thought it was for Julia Roberts character in Steel Magnolias My oldest daughter name is Shelby, and it wasn't for the movie, I can guarandamntee that
My wife's favorite movie is Steel Magnolias, so she wanted our oldest daughter's middle name Shelby. With my love for Mustangs, that worked out perfectly.
Quoted from Spencer:My wife's favorite movie is Steel Magnolias, so she wanted our oldest daughter's middle name Shelby. With my love for Mustangs, that worked out perfectly.
Seems legit, although highly improbable. It was Shelby one way or another! BTW, my best friends daughter is names Shelby.
For the past week I’ve turned the shed into my little pin room. Nothing elaborate but I’m extremely happy with it. A space just for me. Finished and moved the pins in today. The shed wasn’t always that untidy. The pics were during the clean out or should I say throw out.

I culled a lot. I mean a lot and now have a smaller garden shed for what’s left.
Quoted from MustangPaul:Can't a married guy have at least one room to himself.
Quoted from rollitover:Sure, you bet. It's called the garage.
That's if you're lucky. Most of the time a married guy is in the doghouse.
Quoted from Daditude:I have a JP being shipped and I am picking up a HS at the Texas pinball festival.
I see from your pictures that you got "Hooked" on pinball.
For those of you that have the space, and have games like PAC Man battle royal, here is one you can add to your collection.

Best city in the world. Nice job Dude and such a nice varied collection 
I think that would be rad if the upper playfield was a video panel so you would be blasting the invaders head to head with the pinballs. As it is, I don’t know....
Just starting my game house expansion into the garage. Doesn’t look like much now but have already started meeting with electrician and drywall. Should be done by mid spring.
The DDR camw a little early but they don’t come up for sale to often around me so I went for it.
