That one was deleted, "drained". I felt this was a more specific question. According to the site, the other should be gone.

Posters can't delete threads; Draining it just makes it so you don't see it.

Yeah, realized that, thanks. Just changed the post title instead.
Quoted from sataneatscheese:I like old playfields, pinball back glasses, folk video game art, and laserdiscs.
Do you have a favorite?
Mostly posters that were issues at the Pacific Pinball Expo
but back glasses as well. And of course neon signs.

My Gameroom is an unfinished basement so I unfortunately cannot put up too much artwork, but here are my favs:

I stuck it in a frame with just Marilyn showing, but don't worry, the calendar part is wrapped around a thick backing so as to not introduce a crease.
Iconic, right? Apparently it could be worth as much as a kilobuck!

"Elderly man with handlebar mustache in cutoff denim shorts, Chelsea boots, black socks & shield sunglasses on hat performs for disinterested karaoke operator on checkerboard stage with hand-painted disco pinball-themed backdrop" is the art I'm here for.
edit: he removed it! a crime against modern art
Mass produced prints of movie scenes is a better theme for a pinball room for sure.

Sounded up my alley, sucks I missed it.
I like to hang tin signs and neon signs on the walls in my game room. It started out with just a couple here and there,and then I lost my mind.

Boo! Sorry that I found ironic delight in the bizarre scene. Bizarre is good! I didn't criticize the actual wall art. Repost that stuff.
Love the images, keep 'em coming! Sometimes you spot something on the wall in the gameroom pics thread, but it's difficult to see. This is great to see some of these up close!
Quoted from midcoastsurf:Love the neons and old school memorabilia! I'm a big fan of backlit translites.
My wife meet Christopher Reeve several times. First time he came out of the elevator she knocked a whole cup of pencils off her desk. He knelt down and helped her pick them up. Great guy. We know Jane Seymour, she used to tell us of the times they used to hang out off the set of Somewhere in Time.

Looks great! You can't beat neon for adding some ambience to a game room. I love the atmosphere you've created and that old digger machine is a nice touch.
Quoted from PinSinner:Check out this hand painted wall art from a pinball arcade near me!

That is badass!

I bought these framed original promo posters many moons ago at the Amusement Devices game room store. I was told they used to hang in their home office hallway. (They're a decent sized operator in Menasha, WI)
I am looking to move them along, so LMK if you're interested. (I have so much stuff I need to hang, and these take up a lot of wall real estate!)
PXL_20221102_002943563 (resized).jpgPXL_20221102_003049227 (resized).jpgO'gosh here we go. Anything out of the ordinary, especially advertising signs and clocks and of course neons. But not the usual run of the mill everyday stuff that everybody else has, Coke Cola, beer mirrors, Stern Neon, pinball flyers and posters......ugh!! Why be like everyone else? But to each his own I guess.
