    Quoted from Luckydogg420:

    You need a MM game for that room. Looks great.

    This is exactly what I was thinking, JJP POTC just doesn't fit with the theme of the room, great game though for variety, just a little off from the Medieval theme.

    Quoted from Briks-707:

    Current lineup in the game room
    [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

    Is this all in one room or two? Really like the lineup and the setup though it looks like Aerosmith probably doesn't get a whole lot of play, at least I don't think I would fit.

    Quoted from EJS:

    Still can't fit everything in a few pics. I was wanting to make a video before people started showing up.

    Sorry if this comes off the wrong way but any chance we could get a longer slower video so we can really see/ooh an aah the collection? Looks like an awesome space but I also see that their are no games listed in your collection so if you wanna keep it private I understand that too.

    I think your tree is too tall. How is Santa going to fit a 4th pin under there?

    Well its a start.. and what an amazing gamerooms in this thread! My youngest daughter is a fan
    [quoted image]

    Quoted from DuffysArcade:

    Nice start to your gameroom...and I love the artwork on the walls!

    Seriously though it is pretty sweet. I am trying to figure out what that is. Is it hand drawn on? Is that chalk? If so, who did it?

    #19061 2 years ago
    Quoted from dirkdiggler:

    A bowling alley would be so sweet. Definite install when I win the lotto max.

    Only thing missing is a huge tv screen at the end of the lanes above the pins, or at least some type of mural.

    Rai if you were to switch Star Trek with Attack from Mars you would have 7 of my top 10 favorite games on one wall! I think we have very similar taste, sweet collection man.

    Hello all, still fairly new here but happy to play along. Here are some pics of the arcade room / Pinewood Theater. Still a work in progress of course but aren't they all? [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

    Work in progress? I am seeing lifetime goals here. This is definitely one of my favorite setups that I have seen on this site and there only two pins.

    Quoted from JRC6000:

    I'm so happy to finally be able to share on this thread. We converted our junky garage with pinballs in it to my electromechanical workshop. Last year we insulated the garage doors and added a mini split. This year we cleaned it up, repaired and painted the walls and ceiling, changed out the light fixtures, and put down carpet tiles. I wanted it to function as both a game room and a workshop. We got it done just in time for a graduation party earlier this month. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I spend more time out there now than inside the house!!

    Can I ask where you got your table? I have been looking for one like this to go with my stools and I haven’t had any luck.

    I remember when you were posting the pictures when you first started working on it. Really looking good now that it is starting to fill up.

    Quoted from ramegoom:

    I have had success running seven machines (built from 1992 thru to 2019) on a single 20 amp circuit. However, they all have either been 100% converted or are factory fitted with LEDs throughout. Originally didn't plan to have this many pins, but you all know how they multiply.....
    Converting to LEDs reduces the electrical load to somewhere around 35-40% on each machine. I have never had an issue or blown breaker running them all at once. But if you have new construction, now is the time to add extra circuits. I put all of the outlets 48 in. off the floor in order to hide the electrical cords.
    Thinking about it, I also have a 50s juke box, couple of neon signs, and a crane game on this same circuit. I know I'm pushing it to the limit.
    If I did it again, I'd split the machines into at least two and preferably three circuits.

    Hey man awesome game room but this is pinside, you gotta at least include a pin row pic. (Sorry laughing emoji not showing up for some reason)

    Quoted from punkin:

    Cocaine.
    Pictures of Lilly.
    Treasure maps.
    Blowguns.
    You really missed a great opportunity there.

    If it was some of those things wouldn’t you say it was your wife’s idea that went nowhere too? At the very least I think it narrows down the possibilities.

    On one hand this is my favorite thread because I love coming on here and seeing different people's game rooms and getting new ideas for mine and then there are game rooms like this one that is basically, let me show you what you wouldn't have in three lifetimes of collecting. Bravo sir! I am completely envious, but what an amazing job you have done.

    Stuck in the bay area away from the game house. But atleast my boys are crushing streets of rage on multicade!
    Not much makes me happier!
    [quoted image]

    Where did you get the LED movie poster frame from?

    #20677 1 year ago

    How are these more expensive than most of your top of the line TVs? The world just doesn't make any sense to me any more.

    Quoted from jorge5240:

    Commercial grade. Maybe not for everyone but I would buy them again.
    I can’t handle crap quality stuff.

    What kinda TV you got?

    #20686 1 year ago

    Gonna have to disagree with you sir. I have a small game room. This is a moderate sized, and a very nice looking, game room.

    Quoted from Leechman:

    This is definitely one of my favorite threads to visit! So great seeing all the awesome game rooms. So many cool designs and ideas. I finally got around to taking some pics of my family cave, ha! I ran out of room in the main room of my basement so I had to move the weight room and turn that into a side gameroom instead. Kinda wish I would have finished it before filling it up but oh well, someday maybe
    [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

    Another game room that I wouldn't be able to afford in two lifetimes. Awesome setup. How did you do that in the ceiling of your theater?

    #21008 1 year ago
    Quoted from TheNecromancer:

    Hey folks, I finished up my arcade / theater and made some changes since posting a while back. The last change will be adding LOTR in place of High Speed but that won't be for a little while.
    There's 4 movie themes throughout the arcade, Jurassic Park, Tolkien's Middle Earth, Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean. Pirates was my favorite ride at Disney as a child so lots of great memories for me in some of the props. Hope all enjoy and keep posting your rooms and progress pics. I love seeing all the cool ideas and designs!
    [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

    Definitely one of my favorites on this thread. Only thing I am seeing now is Pirates Pinball: Check, Jurassic Park Pinball: Check, Middle Earth Pinball: Check, Star Wars Pinball: ???.

    Seriously though what a setup. I really like the East Dock JP sign but the X-Wing and Tie Fighter wall mounts might be my favorite. I just gotta know though, are the hugemongous movie poster signs secret sliding doors or something?

    Quoted from NewmanJerry:

    Here's my little game room which is a blessing cause I would be into so much debt if I had more room! You guys have some amazing game rooms...

    Where did you get the huge posters from? I really like the Mando, Deadpool, and American Flag ones.

    Nice collection sir, I am assuming the other three have their own row?

    #21864 1 year ago
    Quoted from kustomtheater:

    Cant see my Rush LE and Foo LE incoming.
    [quoted image]

    And the toppers too, man that is a good looking collection.

    Quoted from kustomtheater:

    Cant see my Rush LE and Foo LE incoming.

    Godzilla doesn't look like he is feeling the love... only pin that you have with no side armor? What about Guardians, no topper for that guy?

    In all seriousness awesome setup, how many games on the multicade and can we get a shot of the Star Wars collection?

    #21876 1 year ago
    Quoted from bmcclary:

    My humble setup dubbed McClary's Basement Barcade. Been updated since I took this video in December. I've since added a Slugfest and am waiting on a Foo Fighters Premium.

    Awesome collection, but I do feel like Cactus Canyon is kinda the odd man out beside all the other space/alien pins unless there is an alien in cactus canyon that I don't know about. I'll be honest I am not overly familiar with that game.
    Just picking at the loner, nice collection again sir.

    Quoted from TheNecromancer:

    Quick update for 2024.
    Caved in on my 3 pin limit, sold the couch and added a Ripley's. Setting a new 5 pin limit. Hoping to add a LOTR in 24 or 25.
    [quoted image]

    Added any new decorations to the gameroom? You have one of my favorite setups in this entire thread is the reason I ask, top three for sure sir.
