As for the Posters, they are 18x24. I took the artwork from http://flyers.arcade-museum.com and then put it in photoshop, blew them up and retraced a lot of the elements so they would look good when printed. It's not 100% by any means, but you can't tell at all from a few feet away. They look great. Also, there is a local framing company near me that mounts them to foam-core, and installed them with metal frames and actual glass for only $20 ... that was crazy. I first tried target but they sucked!

The slot car track is badass! That gave me the same wow, WTF reaction I see when a "normal" person first see's a home gameroom.
We're all probably a little jaded to seeing vids and pins in houses, but not something like that!

Awesome room!  :cheers:

@Cenobyte

Holy Shut the front door mother father!

I am censoring myself as much as possible.

Great stuff.  As I scrolled down didn't expect to see a slot car track.  I mean everyone under the age of 21 might not even know what one of those thing are for.

Great job.  Lots of detail.  I will now delete my new gameroom photos off my hard drive and be assamed of myself

SLOT CAR!!!!! That's Genius! When I was a kid there was a Slot Car raceway and semi arcade right down from my house, I bought a more expensive slot car to bring in that I may still have lying around somewhere... hmm ... crap ... now I've got slot car envy ... what a great setup you have.

I am guessing that is your attic correct? 

I can't even imagine how you guys got them up there.

Must of been a lot of guys and a lot of beer

Looks fun though and a good use of the space.

so uh... i'm sure someone with a gameroom like that would already have heard a plethora of derisive comments from those who are jealous.  It must really suck to hear that time and again.  I'm sure it's just jealousy in the end.  I for one, however, am fully supportive, you sonova.... :)               jealous   :-[

@drawfull nice collection looks nice.  When you say lounge is that in your house?  You have a lounge in your house?  Or is it a business?

Still really nice collection.  All those games are mint condition.

Thanks for posted

It probably won't rust them, but it could make them greasy;

CAN I USE A FOG MACHINE INDOORS - SUCH AS FOR A PARTY?
While we can't speak for every fog machine on the market, we have never seen one that could not be used indoors. But, there are a few things to remember. If you use a lot of fog you will get a very thin film of fog fluid residue on everything in the room, including people. My wife says it moisturizes her skin. Most fog fluids are made of glycol (kind of like mineral oil) and water, so it shouldn't do any damage, but feels sticky. If you have expensive furniture, etc., you make want to remove it or use the fog machine in a different room.

Keep your cleaning supplies handy, if you use it a lot ;)

I thought those green lasers could be seen in daylight without the use of fog etc (unlike the red or purple).

Is that not the case?

No, not "in the air", only on the surface they fall on. You need fog to reveal the beams in the air. But it's almost just as nice without the fog machine IMO.

I don't have anything fancy like some of you, and it is all in the garage, but I am really enjoying the lineup now. The Konami cab at the end with no CP is my old MAME cab. It may become an X-Men one of these days. All that is left of the MAME setup is the modular cp, computer, and a new 32" LCD TV. Hopefully I will get around to building a cab for it this summer.






Wow, a lot has happened in the last 7 months. I just looked through this thread again and saw my post from April. Nine of the games in those pics are now gone. I found 3 of my favorite games since the last post: Pinbot, Stunt Cycle, and Hydro Thunder. :) Here is the current lineup (well almost, I just sold the Gaplus the other day):

Unless you're using an oil-based hazer, there's no worry.  We run mineral oil hazers and traditional fog machines: Our mineral oil hazers disperse less than a teaspoon of oil in a 6 hour run period, and foggers use a glycol base fluid that has a small amount of water, so unless the hot fog output of the machine hits a surface directly in front of the fog machine, there's nothing to worry about.

Gotta say, I run one of those cheapy $30 foggers and it doesn't really put a film on anything.  I had one knucklehead fog us out so bad one night we couldn't -literally- see our own hands in front of our faces, and it didn't dust or slime anything.  Plus since I got it, I've probably used maybe 2 oz o fluid (and even then I don't know if some was evap).
