Macomb, MI
Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:As an update, the ping pong table has been a huge hit with the kids. In the past few weeks they have played it more than their combined time spent on my pinball machines and multicade. Even my 4 and 7 year old are into it. This morning, when I went down stairs my 9 year old had it folded in half and was practicing to, "beat me". Looks like I'm in for some stiff competition. Long story short if you have kids and space, a ping pong table is an excellent addition to the arcade... at least until the pinball machines fill it up. Check craigslist and facebook marketplace for, "come get it" prices.

Glad you guys are enjoying it. Growing up we had ping pong at our house, my grandparents and my cousins. We played all night at every thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. If you have someone similarly skilled it’s one of my favorite basement games to play. My dad has one at his house now and we still play each other most times I go over.
If you ever get bored and want to change it up or want more room, an air hockey table is another cheap and fun home arcade addition. You don’t need near as much room as ping pong even with a big table as you can put it against a wall and don’t need a lot of room on each end, you can play 2vs2 easier, and to me it’s more fun when you are playing against people that aren’t very good. Our air hockey cost $50 on Facebook marketplace and I have fun playing my girls, 4 and 8 all the time.
