The Space Mission in the last pic is restored and is a great game. I'm now working on the United Ball Bowler in the back ground. My wife and I bought this condo a little over a year ago. Spent the good part of the first year remodeling the 1850 square feet upstairs. Didn't know how I was going to adapt to condo life at first always owning a house. I have to admit it's great. I play around with my arcade games drinking beer while someone cuts my grass and plows my snow.
Although the basement is unfinished. It's 1450 square feet. Going to start remodeling soon and should have it done before winter. I wish the ceiling was higher but given the fact that my last game room was only about 700 square feet and most of my games were in the garage. I think it will do.

Quoted from my5es:Here is my newly finished game room
Nice set up from the game room into the theater. Thinking of doing some variation of that myself. Really like the tiled floor in the arcade really gives it the soda fountain/movie theater feel.

Quoted from Frax:Wow, I've never seen an EM skee-ball before... lol... /whippersnapper
Nor had I until it was for sale on the Bay. Had to have it and have only seen one other since.
Don't know where the EM obsession comes from though. I grew up in the late 70's early 80's? Played mostly vids. Guess I was lucky to have a good cross section of all three generations of arcade - EM, SS, vids, etc.
Nevertheless nothing like playing ski in the cave. What I really love about this game is it's not your normal ski. I'll post the You Tube vid I made under the Ski Ball post soon.

Very cool Star Wars Collection Man...Knew a rich kid who had a Death Star...he was a jerk never really let anyone near it. Remember kicking the crap out of him in the sand box becuase he was bragging he had it and no one else did. Needless to say it was the last time I was invited to his house. Funny the things that seemed important back then. Thanks for posting brings back great memories man...

Quoted from Colsond3:Hokus Pokus is supposed to be off-white, almost cream colored with blue and brown stencil artwork. Here's mine. Luckily my cab wasn't too bad when I got it. BG and PF are mint.

Pics of my garage arcade and bar build I’m in the process of building.
Put my United 5 Star Ball Bowler restoration aside in September. Several other games under sheets pending restorations.
Probably have another month until completed. Need to finish the mill work. Plumbing for the sink.
Back bar holds dual tap kegerator, 70 lb per day ice machine, and two bottle fridges. Frost unit and engineering a frost rail into the inside L of the bar.
Like restorations been a labor of love to say the least. Equally worth the time investment.

Quoted from dirkdiggler:Beautiful countertops! Job well done
Hardly an expert. Only way to learn really is to do it…First time I’ve ever poured and polished concrete.
They are not perfect but I’m happy with the way they turned out. 3 coats of Behr Wet Look concrete sealer.
Thanks for the post…OHEMIO
Quoted from rollinover:Dude awesome build you can see the labor of love
Love the OSU theme too
Rock on
Deep love for OSU brother. Moved from Youngstown to Fort Wayne Indiana 3 years ago when GM Lordstown closed.
Saw this Ranch with a 3rd car garage (3rd car had a workshop on back and said this is the one) and put an offer in that day.
Always had a dream of building a bar to compliment the arcade. When in walked in to the garage the dream became reality!
Take care brother! Go Bucks!
