Gameroom Layout
« on: March 29, 2006, 09:25:05 am »
I know I ask a similar question before, but what is a good layout for a home gameroom?  I am in the starting phase of a basement remodel and am having trouble designing a room just for my arcade.  I currently have 1 pinball and 1 upright.  I am looking at having 3 pinballs and 4 uprights.  That is all that will be in the room.  I was thinking of a room approx 10' x 14'.  The layout like this:

     14'
--------------
-xxx      x x  -
-xxx                 10'         
-xxx      x x  -
--------------

something like that.  xxx=pinball   x=upright

A good layout is one that offers enough room for people to play the games without bumping into one another.

I like to re-arrange my gameroom every few months or after I get a new game, tha way it feels like a new gameroom all over again. :)  If I had to deal with the same layout forever I'd get real tired of it.

Well I am going to have a max set of games do to limits on my basement.  I want to make sure when I sell the house I dont have to take down the room because it doesnt "fit".  I am sticking to 3 Pinballs and 4 Uprights.  Now if I move, that will be a whole different story.

It will be weird when we are in our 80's playing arcade/pinball games and listening to Stairway to Heaven.
