True but I like pinball way more then pool so I usually just stick to the pinball themes that I enjoy. EBD is a great classic but nothing for my taste really stands out to me for a game I really want that is pool themed. Maybe a Big Shot EM but yeah

I’m ready to let our pool table go. It’s a nice table but takes up space of 4-5 pins. I’m only working with about 600 sq ft so gotta prioritize.

Count incorrect, or maybe I haven't added everything. I have a running list that is at 587 games owned. Not bad for 26, eh?

a small space of the house is for relaxation

Ooooooh; I spy a Safecracker back there...Nice!

Jajajajajaa

WOW! At 26 my wife and I were living in a one bedroom apartment, the idea of owning a single pinball machine was a dream.

Looking through your list I see a lot of games sold multiple times, is this a business for you? Awesome collection BTW!

Nice bro, you need to update the profile list though!

We have a pool table in our game room, and also a Capcom Breakshot pinball. Not intentionally, but it goes well with the pool table. Also had this made by Stan Fukuoka:

Finally filled in all four spots. Two more games in shop and will rotate them into lineup when done and pull a game to clear coat and cosmeticaly restore. Its amazing how big a four game collection feels! Have to dedicate a bit of time if I want to play them all.

This is my limit- it feels like enough games to keep me busy and the room looks fun!

Especially if you have them next to a wall mirror that doubles the look.

Fantastic use of mirrors!

Love the mirror! That can on top of Super Spin needs to find its way to the pingulp

Super nice, like the neon also.

8 is a good size collection! But why two of each?

Very nice 4 game collection!

Thank you! I actually got the idea from another Pinside thread a number of years ago. When we remodeled the basement my wife let me design the mirror into it and outlets for pins and even the sign. I built a DMX RGBW controlled two zone system for the lights- those are suspended from a lighting tray sitting 8 inches from the ceiling that runs around the entire room. Kids love to change the lights so you never know what the vibe of the room might be from day to day

The Neon was an ebay purchase from a well known cheap neon MFG. It looks good but uses plastic shrink wrap to change colors.

My buddy had his gameroom set up just like that. A row of pins on one side and a pool table with an EBD sitting beside it on the other side of the room. Ended up selling the EBD. Now wants to sell his pool table. Anyone want to buy a pool table in the York Pa area let me know. It’s a coin-op barroom table.

Awesome collection man!! Have a vid of your entire current collection?

Can’t wait to add ACNC any day now.

Comet if your throwing system 9s in

ICK! Buddy of mine is getting a neon plant up and running in his barn this summer. I hope to learn how to make signs.... then ill have some good ones to offer at pinball expo and such.

Yeah- the ebay neon adds seem to conspicuously avoid mentioning how many tubes they use! Oh well.

To be honest- for the price its damn hard to compete. Real is better... but maybe not reasonable for this type of product as cost is 3-10x

After seeing all the incredible gamerooms on this forum, I am blown away by the creativity and size of the collections. I have my little bonus room down here in NC. I miss having a basement like we did growing up in Michigan. My collection is small, but I'm content. Always looking for new ways to rearrange and redo the room. Maybe I'll get some gameroom carpet, or some laminate flooring. Also thinking of getting brick wall paper, but it's getting congested with the stuff that's already in place.

Fyi - I keep the blinds and curtains closed, and I cover Spidey when not in use.

Nice space! Did you do the mini Pandora’s box arcade yourself?

Thanks! Arcade Shmarcade of Oregon made the bartop. He makes them from his garage as a side job. Took around 6 weeks from order to arrival. I'm very happy with the quality.

Looks great! Nice pins in a good spot!!

My game room is shared with my kids as their playroom. Essentially I get part of a wall and they get the rest. They are 8 and 5 now so in time their toys will go the way of the yard sale and my space for pins will increase. Until then this is what I have and I am quite pleased with it:

Looks awesome and great lineup!! Old guy experience, while pins are awesome enjoy Every minute of seeing your kids play with those toys on the floor. They grow up SO fast and you sadly never get those times back. You can find ANY pin Anytime but the your kids hanging out playing on the floor are a one time deal. I miss it honestly.

Absolutely love this thread! It is what Pinside should be all about, versus the bickering and angry opinions.

I will post a video/pix of my game room once I am finished. Won't compare to most of you guys/gals, but WOW! you have all done an amazing job.

Seriously, my compliments to you all

Quick question...where can I buy some decent movie posters to adorn a corridor leading to my theater area? Google searches all come up disappointing at the moment.

Don't be shy. Mine has been a work in progress for about 3 years and I still post pictures sometimes.

I want to see the theater.

I made a digital movie poster to put on the wall leading up to my theater, but the walkway isn't very long. It's in this thread somewhere.

EDIT -> Found it.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/lets-see-pic-of-games-rooms/page/256#post-4861870

I picked up my movie posters on Amazon. Just be wary of really cheap offerings, as they tend to come in poor shipping tubes and have wrinkles in them. It's pretty easy to send them back and get a refund if this does happen.

not gonna lie, i perked up when i saw cyber sled.

I used to work in an arcade back when Cyber Sled first came out, and it's one of the games I put a ton of time on with my friends. I have reason to believe this is the same game I played all those years ago, but I can't verify it. I'll just assume it is and be happy. The game still holds up well after all this time.

Don't investigate, keep that tought, makes it that much better!!

So question for you guys and gals that have multiple rows of pins facing each other. How much space are you leaving between them so you can comfortably remove the glass and work on them without having to physically move machines? I’m getting to that point where if I get another machine I’ll need to rearrange games and will probably configure 2 rows of games.

Under Construction.

Just added Deadpool LE and moved several bookcases to fit 12 games where I could formally fit 10.

That hulk looks so cool in your line up! I like green!

Thanks. The ramps are cheap on the game. But overall, I really like the game and the flow. I don’t understand when I hear the shots or the game is clunky. Tilttopper.com makes great toppers including hulk, xmen, and Star Trek.

Ghostbusters would also look good in slime green.

Do you have a build thread for this project? If not you should - looking great!

Pinside rule #1, games on in pics!!!

Dude with the Star Wars arcade is never gonna talk to us again. Too busy playing on what's prolly the coolest F'n thing man has made besides the large hadron collider

Can I see some pics and explanation of lights installed. I was going to redo mine and use crown molding but after seeing yours I like the square look better(looks more modern). -Thanks in advance

-Also wondering why someone would thumbs down your pic of gameroom-super lame!

Still working on mine. A big thank you to Pinballs.com, Ardvark and HDMIKE for helping me with it.
