Quoted from QuietEarp:I have a tiny game room, but thanks to the panorama feature on my phone I can get a good picture of it!
Any room with Sorcerer in is ok with me
Quoted from littlecammi:My lineup is set in stone because most of the 13 pins in my game room are my personal favorites which I carefully sought out and collected (including WHOdunnit).
Awesome, good to see another WHOdunnit fan
Quoted from ZNET:It's been 2 years since I posted photos of my suburban New Jersey basement gameroom
Dude, that is awesome
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:Well if your going to have a small collection thats a damn fine collection to have.

Women can't count, fact
Quoted from twoplays25c:Has anyone here done an HO scale "railroad" running near the ceiling, that encircles your room? I would think several people have done so.
Can someone advise on the construction pitfalls to avoid in creating this - i.e., what materials work best for the runs along the wall, how best to hang or suspend all the track and supportive structures? Also any important issues, such as how far out distance-wise you need to do the corners so the track has enough radius to swing the corners and the train makes it through those areas??
I have boxes of old HO stuff from my childhood and I'd really like to look into this for the added gameroom amusement of the grandkids.
Thanks much!
I had a G gauge one in our last house that ran through figure 8 brackets that I had made. The thing I learnt doing this is that the loco needs more space when its going round curves as the front hangs out and also the rear cab! I actually had to cut the cab roof on the loco so it would make its way round!
You can see it on this short video that was done as a 3 minute film that went out before the news in the UK. Skip to 1.50
Quoted from jorro:Matt You are my HERO! And probably long lost brother ?
Showed this to my wife and all she sayd was NO! dont know what she means but where did you find the brackets material for the ceiling montage of the train?
Soul brother I actually just drew them and had a metal shop make them from steel bar with feet drilled and countersunk for screws before getting them chromed.
Quoted from Bundy:Truly living every boy dream but the real hero is the wife, she deserves a medal or something
She doesn't need a medal she has me
Quoted from Indypin:I will say this, Matt Adams is one of the nicest guys I've never met. Back in the earlier days of our pinball collecting craze, my brother and I would watch pinball videos from Matt (as well as Chris Bucci) over and over again on Youtube. Whenever I responded to one of his videos, he always took the time to answer them and we made contact several times in emails just to chat briefly about pinball related stuff. He's one of the guys I would love to hang with because of his love for pinball. Sometimes he would offer me suggestions or opinions on his pinball machines and I remember him helping me so much with his advice when I was in the middle of purchasing the Alien Pinball machine. I finally got it Matt and I love it BTW.
In one of his videos taken inside his house and garage, he did a walk-thru of his pinball machines, with all of them looking gorgeous and in perfect working order. I noticed a picture on the wall that contained some Safecracker coins and I asked him about it. He responded and generously stated he had an extra set and would send it to me for free to the states. Ofcourse I got them and was tickled to death. A couple of months later he asked me to try to find some kind of cleaner or paint spray (I truly can't remember), stating it was only sold in the Walmart stores. I searched every Walmart in my area in hopes of finding that item, mainly because I did not want to let the man down. Unfortunately, I struck out and I had to tell Matt and he was cool about it, although I felt like I let him down. I jokingly sent him an Indiana University Sweatshirt to him and he wore it in one of his videos.
That's one good thing about this hobby. You may not know the person or maybe live in a different state or country, but once you mention or find out that person loves pinball as much as you do, you feel like you just made a friend for life.
Kudos Matt for making those Youtube pinball videos and howdy from across the pond buddy. Take care Mate!
Hey my friend, I hope you can feel me blushing across the Atlantic!!! Can't believe we are still in this crazy hobby
Still rocking the Tshirt (and the hat!)
Quoted from stefanmader:Everything for the kids. The autoscooter had to move. Its now in my home office.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Awesome, here's mine.....
Quoted from Pinkitten:I’m proud to share pics of my finally finished gameroom. I started this project the last weekend in May when I rented a dumpster to clean out several years of junk, boxes, bugs, cobwebs and debris…7 months or so later and a new roof, siding, insulation, ceiling, etc. etc.…I’m finally finished, except for adding another couple pins, if I can! Thanks for looking!

That's a proper transformation
Quoted from RikeIsland:Just enjoying some pinball with my mini me.
Loving the concentration on her face
My daughter used to own me on CV so much so I had to take it to her wedding, now its the only machine my granddaughter (her daughter) is interested in!
Quoted from AlexRogan84:Do any guests ever clue into what is going on in that alternate Flintstones translite??
That has literally never happened, it's been in there years and tbh I don't ever think about it but yeah, maybe I should swap it out given the new audience!!
Quoted from jedimastermatt:Nah, don’t listen to the Peanut, we, FlintstonI don't think my Game Room has ever stayed they same for over a year. New lineup. 6 out, 4 in. Complete makeover on the upper side!
