Quoted from jrockne:Needed to spice up the utility room that you walk through to get to the game room. Here’s the before and current progress photos.

Definitely feels like it came out of the queue of Rise of the Resistance. Amazing work man! I wish I had half those skills. Please share the rest of your game room once it’s ready.

I was watching a local United "Manhattan" on eBay, pretty roached out. Ended a little while ago, starting bid was $9.99, didn't sell. (Really roached)
I finished my basement over the winter. The gameroom/bar turned out great. Of course now I wish I had made more room for pins. "Two is plenty, right?" I've already made one swap.

I like cards, poker etc, but you could move that table into the kitchen (upstairs) and fit (what looks like) 3 or 4 more games there.
You did a great job with the bar.

Thanks. This was my third basement I've done.
If I decide I have to have more pins, and had to make room, I'd sell the Super Chexx. My kids don't play it. Guests seem to, but there haven't been a lot of guests since Covid. We had one party before it shut the world down. I could put one machine against the wall where the card table is. (It would be mostly hidden from the view you see pictured)

Looks great!
Can you turn them 90 degrees and put them on the long wall to the right. You might be able to fit 3

Just be glad you have an awesome escape that is your basement. We had one growing up in Westland and it was a great place to escape the summer heat and play pool. As for the south, basements are not true basements. I'm settling for a 3rd floor game room.
That hockey game looks amazing. I really like the wet bar/kitchen setup.

Great idea. Worth measuring out when i get home.

bookmark this post for 2022 when you've sold your pool table, card table, and torn out the kitchen to fit your new lineup of 10 pins.

Ha! I'd lose the whole space in the resultant divorce.

Nice!
But no, two is most definitely NOT plenty. This is a pinball forum after all.
Quoted from yzfguy:Just got this work of art [quoted image]
I've seen a sign like that that says "Sorry, we're drunk". Honestly I think yours is a more classy/ presentable version.
Quoted from Gtrefraction:Office or man cave? I’m making the best of a small space.

What is that on jp lighting ?

Homemade Pinstadiums?
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Donkey Kong or power glove?
Definitely the power glove, but it should be this image instead.
I love the power glove; it's so bad.
wizard-1000 (resized).jpgBit of a work in progress. I don't have a ton of space unfortunately. I plan on probably two more pinball machines, eventually I will finish that MAME cabinet and those two Pachinko machines will probably wind up finding a new home.

Yes, I couldn't stand how dark JP was in the center of the playfield so I built my version of pinstadium XStreams that can be removed easily. They actually work quite well, the camera grabs more light than actual but you get the idea.

Not many have the space (I don't), but the second picture is perfect for hooch's backyard.
Quoted from Bmanpin:I am out of room unfortunately so I’m stuck with 4 pins for now unless of course they produce a BTTF or a Jaws and I bet I could find more room.
[quoted image][quoted image]
Gee if only they could be 4 good ones
Wow, they are.

Ha. I was talking before about the wall opposite to that. I'll have to win a pin to have another anytime soon.

sign design-min (resized).pngI actually considered a shooting gallery, but then I ran out of space again. My next project is a 25' neon "Dive- In" movie screen next to pool. I have designed everything, and a local neon guy that is psyched about an old school project, but Covid is delaying progress!

That looks outstanding. Can’t wait to see that brought to life.
Quoted from xsvtoys:EVERYTHING on the walls is great. The best is the They Live movie poster. Awesome.
Thanks! I wish I had more wall space, actually.

Man, you have some awesome autographs! I’m a huge John Carpenter fan. I love The Thing, The Fog and Halloween I and III.

Those are some good ones. My personal favs are Escape From New York and Prince of Darkness.

Awesome! I've got a bunch of autographed photos too. Most of mine are from the late 90's, so a lot of them are dead. The first one is my current favorite.
