and a board game player as well. nice

Hell, Even years ago beta cards would fetch big money. Mox Jet used to command big time money.

I'd think even if you had one airhockey table in a room. It's considered a game room. It's the room where game or games are stored. So if you have any game sitting in a room all the time, it's a game room.

oooo, they are doing pinball BG's now. I love the arcade stuff they do.

nonsense. How can that be a fire hazard, when most of that stuff will be carried out quickly if the house is on fire. It would be the cleanest room in the entire house if there was a fire. It would all be sitting in the front yard.

love the variety in the collection. Looks great.

Oof. What the hell happened there? Pipes or weather?

you might be ok. PAPA, managed to salvage cactus canyon completely under water.

holy shit. you want to sell the one that's in the bottom left corner of your picture?

why is Ghostbusters or Stern not part of the #? seems like a great promotion

water is the worst. And insurance doesn't pay for shit. Sucks bad.

if you want continentals. I have a friend that will give you as many as you want cheap. he has like 10 of them he's looking to get rid of.

Added some ship figureheads to my room. Hand carved from one solid piece of wood. really brings the room together.

I posted some a lot earlier in the thread. But here are some more older pictures from my tournament this July.
and here is a video walkthrough I did sometime back. Game configuration is slightly different now than back then, but still pretty similar.

It always has a good turnout. I have ships in a bottles as trophies.

Black rose was one of the first machines I restored. Great looking game, but a clunky piece of crap with very one sided rules. Problem is, most pirate themed machines are terrible. Stern one is just not fun. JJP's rules are terrible and ruin the great look and layout. captain hook is uneventful, hook lacks in the rules department.

yes, that is due to my tournament. Which I kind of do a mini 2 bank of games like pinburgh. With an early SS with a modern/dmd style game. Each bank has a theme. hence why stars phoenix and TBL are together. Alien poker and RFM, JP and TM, GNR and Sexy girl...ect.

looks interesting. but right now, i'm on hold for importing anything. Shipping prices have shot up to stupid levels and our dollar is weak. So it's not practical to buy overseas anymore currently. That's why anything, that is already over here, is worth more currently.

look at you with the jokes. sorry, if I had room for 1000 games, I still wouldn't own an Xfiles.

nice mephisto playfield hanging in there.

it's not wall paper. it's actual textured wood paneling that looks and feels like real boards.

ahhh, the mural. Yes, it took me awhile to find the exact mural I wanted for the end. I initially wanted a straight shot down the hull of a vintage sail ship. but every mural shot I found, wasn't straight on and wouldn't have given the perception correctly. So ended up going with the barrel stacks instead.

I thought of opening a business to do that. Plan out spaces, and do theme integration. I had several themes I was thinking of doing before settling on the one I did. Steampunk, forest, or Sci Fi space ship interior. More budget you would have to work with. the more cool effect toys I could incorporate. There are still things I want to add to mine. (Creeky ship sounds that come on once the lights are turned on) and swaying lanterns that would sway in unison to give the effect of a rocking ship.

Is her name Tightest Twatus?

how do those jack stands not eat holes in the carpet?

games look great. Perfect lighting job on both.

room looks great. Love all the natural beams. how do you get the glass off of shadow?

with the godzilla poster, does that mean godzilla is a contender for showing up in the room?

I've done it for games. when you are out of space. Sometimes it's worth it. I sold off my entire tecnoplay collection to get big lebowski.

probably above AFM, AS, and LZ

love the warm feel of the last picture room.

oh no it's knot!

major thumbs up for having 2 zacs in the collection nice.

you get the battlepod in auction?

what's something like that run on the used market. I remember the auction days, huge stuff like this was dirt cheap, because nobody had the room or a way to get it home.

wish I had room for a full size shuffle board table.

we have all been there. Back in 2004. I thought I would be happy with just 4 games. I don't even own those 4 anymore.

that is the widest ms pac and galaga i've ever seen.

damn those games look great. Perfect LED jobs on all 3. Very nice.

i use comet 2 SMD's frosted in every game in my collection. I buy them by the 1000's

maybe I do. Find me at pinball shows and tournaments and show me pictures of your game and i'll hand you one.

that's the way the ones who do colored LED's must see.

can you sit on the bike and play?

3 zacs. Nice. great diversity in the collection.

that last pic looks really low. Might have to put EM's and early SS games in that section.

biggest chair collection i've seen so far.

Well you know most on pinside barely play their games at all. Hence why we have so many games that are years old with only 300 games on them.

I think most on here, buy for a status thing. People who seem to own only JJP games, and Stern LE's , seem to buy for bragging rights, but don't actually play them. If they did, they wouldn't own most JJP games.

I didn't think the movie was all that great. but the game blew me away. production value and gameplay is very good. Made me want to get one. Especially the new ones that are built better and more reliable.

roadshow looks great. well done.

I also have a graveyard of old computer towers that I don't have the heart to throw away. Some were mine over the decades and some were given to me. I figure I can always use pieces of them when needed.

you will not be disappointed. I've been following P3 closely over those years, even before there wasn't any games even being thought of. It's been the most innovative thing in all of pinball, and has only gotten better over the years.

Whats the playfield with all the bats on it?

because nobody plays it anyway, so what's the difference?

they really do tie the room together.

looks great. But are you sure it was made with pinball in mind? if so, why would you ever put a turn in your staircase?

Superb!. They expensive?

how bad was the battle pod to move? Get a good deal on it?

awesome. Makes me want to get one but I don't know if I can fit it.

looks great. Got rid of games that never get played, with games that always get played.

looks great. but you don't have the best music pinball machine made? Iron Maiden. Most of those bands are better than iron maiden musically. but as pinball machines go. Iron maiden is superior by a longshot to all of those.

there is a video of it on youtube. Pretty good ideas happening in it.

i wonder how much that fog effect connector pins. I know stuff like that, likes to settle and stick to pins.

I split all my games through the gameroom room evenly. So early SS, EMs are paired with DMD/LCD games. So when people come over and play, or host leagues or tournaments, I don't have people just clumped up by the new stuff. They are evenly distributed through the gameroom. Plus my annual tournament, has a mini pinburgh type of setup, so my games are paired up in banks of 2 with a common theme, with a DMD/LCD game paired with an Early SS or EM.

yes, you want at least 14ft across from each other, so people can walk through when playing across from each other. it's tight even at 14 ft. 16ft is better if you can do it.

I wonder how many of us pin guys own these?

20210131_174401 (resized).jpg

where the hell is this at? I'd buy another in a second for this price if it runs and drives.

yes the speedometers usually only go to 85, but i've had mine over 100 several times. My speedometer goes to 140 on the one I currently have.

no it isn't, because the BTTF machine is a pile of dog shit.

if it's made by JJP, it will be a pile of dogshit all over again. Time will repeat itself.

DE also had the GNR license and look how the second one turned out. DE one is GOLD. JJP is version is trash.

Stern also had POTC......and then JJP made one.

So just because DE,SEGA or STern had a license...doesn't mean JJP isn't going to try for it.

if they actually made a good game, i'd be for it. But most of the games, the layout and rules suck. Most of the rules are overdone to the point, where there isn't a point. Every shot counts for something. All slop accepted. Too much shit, to the point where you just don't give a shit anymore. The only game they have that is somewhat intuitive is dialed in. And the layout just doesn't do it for me. POTC has a great look and layout. But the rules are so overdone, you just stop giving a shit about trying to figure anything out. GNR is a shitshow all around. When you use the inserts to do animations, instead of pointing you in the directions you are suppose to go....you have failed...and badly. There is a reason you see at last 20 GNRs for sale at any given moment.

I see my post in that snapshot. Can we go back to talking about De Loreans again?

does the boom box still work? Even the tape player?

love the look of the bowling lane mineshaft. Looks great.

I love secret passages. Wish I could fit them in my theme. I Kind of have a secret wall that hides the fridge, but would be awesome to have another area hidden by secret passage.

no, mine doesn't say anything unfortunately. But the nuka cola things light up when the door is opened.

That's awesome. I want the ready player one version

all my games have tight tilts. I don't want to get in the habit of nudging aggressively, in case I play in leagues and tournaments. Plus I have a lot of top tier players, play on my games, so I can't have them having hour long ball times. So tilts are tight. outlanes are wide open, or side posts even removed. and games are steep. If you put up a record high score at my house. You are a good player.

so does that means it's flavored, kind of like a scratch n sniff sticker, but flavor induced?
