Quoted from Pinkitten:Thanks, it was just an image I found and had made into a translite. Gives me another option along with the busier original. I had alternates made for GB and LOTR too.

Quoted from Willys45:I have had both games for a while but felt the poster really tied the two together!

Quoted from billsfanmd:May be building a beach house Prob have a 7 pin arcade. What electrical service upgrade should I ask the electrician? Dedicated service for wall outlets? Thx for any help if you have done electrical in your gameroom.
I run 4 pins on each 15 amp breaker and never a problem with that.
I would feed 220 into the panel as suggested above if you can.

I sort of have a space theme corner - Star Wars (Pin and Arcade game), Star Gate, 70's Star Trek. Then older 70's games next (Spider Man, Viking). Then Movie/Tv Pins (Addams, Phantom,) Then into Monster stuff (MB, CftBL, BSD, MSF, etc) Then on other side of room are Playboys and Rock pins (IM, ACDC, GnR).
Works for me but def not OCD lol 
I also agree - best thread ever. I love seeing what everyone has around their games and what they've done with their space.

Quoted from kool1:Doors can really screw up a nice bank of pins!
If you can fit them pocket doors are great.

Quoted from gandamack:I have a question regarding some of the larger game rooms (a lot of games). Do many of you have to rework the electrical wiring in the room to provide enough juice so the machines are not tripping the house electrical panel? Obviously, I am not an electrician and wonder how many machines I can simply plug into the normal wall electrical outlets before I may start running into issues. Thanks.
No - I run 20 machines from 4 breakers in the basement. have had all 20 running at the same time no issues. one plugin has a power bar and it's running 4 machines.

I use these -

It's like they were made for pinball feet if you get the right size - and they aren't grippy really, they have a plastic bottom so you can slide the game.
Every hardware store I've been to sells them in a 4 pack.

Quoted from SilverUnicorn:Ok so just so I am on the record here. My wife is awesome. She doesn't play pinball or even any of the video games. I bought the Frogger for her because she said she liked that game, but I think she's maybe played it 10 times in the 7 or 8 years it's been here. Usually when friends are over she'll play a game or two. She's just not into it. And that is fine. She has hobbies I don't really care for, and she knows that. But she doesn't stop me from enjoying my hobby and I don't stop her from enjoying hers.
Communication, respect, and balance. That's what we have and it works great. I don't need to "ask permission" if I want to get something new for the basement. I do, because that's respectful, but I don't need to (and she tells me that). I feel we have a great marriage, and just celebrated our 23rd anniversary. We've had MAYBE 3 or 4 arguments in those 23 years.
Didn't mean for an aside comment to derail this thread. Sorry if it did so.
Now, onto more gameroom photos!

Quoted from bobwiley:Sound considerations (hardfloor vs. Carpet, insulation above if noise would be bothersome to adjacent rooms).
This ^
In my room with the Pins on it's crazy loud and turns some people off of the experience.
Quoted from cookpins:Smart plugs and a voice assistant are much cheaper/easier solution and more sensible for future potential resale of your home. Fun to "wow" my guests by bringing them into a dark room and saying "Turn on pinball" and all my machines pop on at once.
Or say "Turn on Favourites" and it turns on the ones I always play - lol

Quoted from MiniPinHead:What is the best refrigerator to have in a game room? I’ve seen branded mini fridges in this thread, which are eye appealing. Just curious if there are any more out there to show off
I have one of these - gets lots of looks and comments:
