Quoted from Goronic:Curious how you would rank them 1 to 4 being an owner.
Great question... one thing I would say about Jersey Jack is you never really want to sell any if you're a collector because all of their games are like artwork.
If you take out the collectable side of the equation...
1) Pirates
2) Dialed In
3) Wizard
4) Hobbit
I'm already lined up to get Willy Wonka so we'll see how that ends up!

So I have a gameroom in my basement just added Wonka will take some new pics there... but check out my home away from home gameroom. We have a haunted house and I bought damn near every horror themed pinball and added it to the exit of our haunt. So you have horror themed pins surrounded by monsters, autographs, and so much more. Check it out. If you're ever in St Louis stop by... these pinballs are only avail to play in September, October and early November. After that they sit there doing nothing, other than we open for one day for Christmas, Valentines and one special event in March. Yeah they just sit there year around.

I love powder coating, I powder coat almost everything. I just powder coated my Batman 66 sparkling purple. LOL Our haunted house is considered across the nation as one of the most detailed. We have some pretty amazing detailed Hollywood movie style sets... so when I started doing pinball I tried to improve the look of them with mods, sideblade art, color screens, and other things. Pretty much all of my games are either powder coated, new cabinet art, different back glass art, I do that to everything. Come on by sometime we'll show you around and put everything on free play!!!
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Awesome looking place to hang out and play some pins. Just need a Class of 1812 to round out the campy horror theme.
Yes I know that is on my list of games I want to buy. Dude but please don't plant the thought (LOL) The side where the pinball games are use to be filled with lifesized monsters and i figure out a way to put them all on the right side. My impulses are to get rid of more monsters to find places for even more pinball games. LOL I know I'm crazy. But yes 1812 is a game I want its amazing game. I also have Ghostbusters wanted to find a place for that game I have no more room!!! Yikes.
Quoted from SilverUnicorn:For a second I thought these pics were your basement and was like HOLY CRAP!!! But then re-read your post, and while not the basement, an awesome execution of theme at your business!
Come by sometime!!! Everyone is welcome to come on we could have a Halloween pinball party. I can supply the candy! You would be blown away by all the autographs on the wall there is over 200 and I got most of them in person. Some I didn't like Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney, etc. Send me an email if you ever want to come by.
Made a few adjustments to my game room today... added WONKA and its AMAZING!
There is more to my gameroom but this is the JJP section obviously! LOL
BTW the post from a few days was my haunted horror pinball party room. This is in my basement! LOL
If you don't have a Wonka is 110% incredible looking!

She was one of the adjustments... I can't seem to get her off the machine so I can have a play! LOL

I'm not a fan of Party Monsters so I've never bought one. But you make a good point I have to think about that one.
Quoted from Namsan:My turn ! Ok here my 2 small game room.
Amazing job man! I think the only thing you're missing is the Miami Vice theme song!!! LOL

Quoted from Charlemagne1987:Where did you get that AC/DC backglass? I've never seen that one before.
You can get it off Ebay. Great guy and ships asap! In my opinion looks way better than the original.
Quoted from Yelobird:Nice lineup!! Need to get down there.
Come on brother I'm waiting. But wait just a second because I'm going to blow you away with my haunted house game room... I'm adding a Walking Dead Premium that I powder coated, along with all the other horror pins plus Alien Armageddon arcade, Terminator Salvation arcade plus Walking Dead sit down game (arcade).
Going to get that done here soon.

Check out the ultimate Horror Arcade! Come see us in St Louis www.TheDarkness.com but this part is only open during the Halloween season. We have tons of life sized monsters, photo ops, you can ride an electric chair yeah you can! LOL

C'mon on down! I'll give you the tour. The haunted house itself is 28,000 square feet. Next door we have a pincade as well with escape rooms.
Here some pics of the haunt. My hobby for haunts has somehow intersected with pinball. I might have gone over the deep end just a little.

Yes, at The Darkness, we're spooky and scary! But hey, we have Dippin Dots!" LOL
Thanks and yes we do have DIP N DOTS and Hot Donuts! LOL

We're building this 80's style interactive golf to our escape rooms and in between we're doing this 80's 90's style themed game room. Not done yet but check out some of the murals and check out that wild carpet we picked out. The carpet is roller skates.
IMG_1280 (resized).pngIMG_1314 (resized).jpgIMG_1337 (resized).jpgIMG_1347 (resized).jpgIMG_1349 (resized).jpgIMG_1409 (resized).jpgCheck this out... for this interactive mini golf we're building we'll have a pinball hole. We took a very very very old super wide body and rebuilt it so it can shot golf balls instead of pinballs. We just finished retheming the cabinet. Once we get it all done it will have a real games beside for theming and I'll share some pics.

We're building this 80's 90's style mini golf behind it with all the escape rooms in front of it. We finally got the carpet it and most of the games. We have two more retro arcades coming but now ... we want to re-theme the walls.
Anyone know where we can buy some lighted backglasse boxes.
Let me know. Going to start theming the walls and adding some blacklights next.

Still working away on our game room but getting closer to getting it finished. Getting there. If you're ever in St Louis stop by www.StLouisEscape.com within the next month we're hoping to add JJP new game and Avengers.
IMG_1726 (resized).jpgIMG_1729 (resized).jpgIMG_1731 (resized).jpgIMG_1756 (resized).jpgIMG_1757 (resized).jpgIMG_1758 (resized).jpgIMG_1764 (resized).jpg
I know this isn't the arcade but several of the holes on this mini golf we're building are themed around 80's 90's video games. Check out the centipede inspired hole and frogger. We also have a pinball hole where you play pinball with a golf ball but that isn't done yet. Anyway check it out.
So we have an escape room in the front - pincade in the middle - 80's themed mini golf in the back
Once I get the pinball hole done I'll upload a few more. I've shared pics like these before but now you'll notice its further along with the borders painted.

I've shared these photos before but we've re-done the place. We make it darker with yup you guessed a custom printed carpet that is blacklight.
I'll tell you what I'm trying to sell my house currently, and when I do the first thing I'd doing is making a custom printed blacklight carpet. Trust me it will be epic!
Anyway thought I'd share!
You can only play these pinball machines when our haunted house is open which it is this for two special events "Krampus" and "Bloody Valentines" yeah yeah I know. We're obviously open during the Halloween season.
