GAME ROOM PICS

[ChadTower]

Wow.

[Flake]

Very Nice Chazz, very nice.  Like that you found a way to incorporate a projector screen - I love those things.  I flirted with this idea but in the end decided to go with the 65" Mitsubishi.

Again, awesome stuff.

[Chazz]

Hey guys! 
Thanks for all the kind words.  Here's a mock up of what we were planning before we even started the basement, it came out almost exactly as we planned


We gutted the basement to the walls. 


Here's a pic with the screen up:



Here's a breakdown of some of the toys:

Rock-Ola Sybersonic Legend 7000 Jukebox (holds 100 cds)
Valley Blackcat 4x8 Coin-Op Pool Table

JVL iTouch4 bartop game
MAME'd Single-slot Neogeo
4 Player PONG (from 1975!!)

Benq LCD Projector
120" Elite Electric Projector Screen

250' of Rope Lighting

Alpha 4120C LED Sign
Prolite PL-M2014R LED Sign


If you haven't seen it yet, I have a thread with some of my animations that I've done with the Alpha LED Sign

I also have a thread on CGCC.ca that has a bunch of pics of the building of the game room (and some really dorky pics of me)

Sooooo....  Do they give out MAMEY awards for game rooms?? 

[Benevolance]

Very nice set up. Good use of the space. I especially liked the recessed corner for the arcade cabinet by the bar. And the lighting is pretty slick; creates a great ambience. How do you find the projector with the lighting in that room? I recently put a BenQ projector up, but haven't had much chance to play with it.

On a related note, I see vermouth on the bar but no gin. Tell me you don't drink it straight?!?!

[pinballwizard79]

I just sharted a little after seeing the lighting, very cool!

[Flake]

Theres no doubt the lighting in you game room is pretty sweet.  It really makes the room (at least from the pictures).

Straight vermouth?  see how hardcore Canada is? 
THe pics on the cgcc site are very nice

Except that now i want to finish my basement (my poor arcades will have to live in dusty cement squalor for now!)

What did you use to make that mockup?

[shardian]

That's a sketch up drawing for sure.

[Chazz]

That's a sketch up drawing for sure.

Yup!  SketchUp!

More Pics! 



Rock Band!


Pong!


Topgun action!


Hey Bartender!  (There's the Gin!!)

Dude, that just kicks butt. I've got a similar layout to yours and am about half way there but don't think it will end up anything like that!

Canada is such a small country so I'm sure we're neighbours; can I come over to take a look in person?

For sure!  Where are you located?

[Benevolance]

I'm on the next bus from Vancouver.

Is that a black light over the pool table? Also, how do you find the drink carousel? Is it easy to use?

[javeryh]

Wow that's an awesome gameroom/bar.  What are the dimensions of the basement?  I'm going to be house shopping soon and I plan on building something similar but I want to be sure there is enough room for everything!   

[DaOld Man]

I agree with all the other comments! I have got to show this to the boss. Maybe she will let me build an add-on to the house.
(Maybe I will spring this on her right after I get through with the juke Im making for her. Now I have got to do a good job on the juke!

Just two questions:
When's the next party, and what are the directions to your house?

 

[Ummon]

Hey gang,
Here's some pics of my game room

It looks more like a bar.

[divemaster127]

What would you guys say the best very best game rooms you have seen, my two favorites are the one I have seen with the guy that has the stand alone building that offers 1 day a month anyone can play as long as they are preapproved... & Saint's game room.

Here is my Mortal Kombat game room which includes all 5 mortal kombats. Dedicated 1+2 mk4 is in mk2 right now and Mame UMK3.  notice the lack of a control panel on the umk3. I ordered a custom design one from arcadesrfun.com about 4 months ago and still waiting on it. It is going to be a MK1 custom designed control panel with integrated trackball and slide out keyboard drawer.

[BUCKETHEAD]

Here is my Game Room pix.

Small, But i like it.

I spend alot of time in it!

Obviously joking about the small country, you probably live at the other end!  But still very serious if by some chance you're near Ottawa.

i thought it was a weird cocktail at first glance...

Peterborough, so not too far off.

[Loafmeister]

Holy crap you're right!  Well, I am due to travel there at some point to visit my sister, plus RL issues bring me to Toronto all the time so if you don't mind, I may send you a PM with an official request to "visit"!  Thanks again.

[Santoro]

Heres what I have going on at the moment......not too much in the way of gaming, just a mame cabinet and darts......but I love my bar.  Plan is to add a jukebox and another Mame cabinet dediated to driving games.  Also a Megatouch at some point as well.

Flake, I LOVE that bar.  Easily the nicest I have seen.

This is a cool thread.

[rusolinio]

Heres a pic of my cabs in my new house. Ive just moved here, so its far from finished yet. 2 ridge racer cabs (one is rave racer, the other ridge racer) and my dedicated ki2 cab. All machines work, with one needing a little attention to the accelerator pedal (sticks).



I currently have both ki and ki2 boards installed, but have a slight issue with me being worried about applying the -5v constantly via a jammaboards 6in1 switcher, to the board that is not being used.

I eventually hope to have both ridge racer 1+2 (still searching for ridge racer 2)and to add a mame setup inside the ki2 cab in a vacant slot on the 6in1 via a j-pac. I also installed some new happ ultimates and a nice set of ultimarc buttons:

[Havok]

I just couldn't play that KI - little unfortunate placement of the Player 1 joystick...

[Ummon]

Pfffft. It's more through his hip. You're not, uh, thinking of turning....are you?

Nice little button mod, there.

[Mauzy]

Is that the factory overlay? If so, I would have thought SOMEBODY at Rare/Nintendo/Midway would have noticed that placement...

[rusolinio]

Loool, i never noticed that before!

[Havok]

Pfffft. It's more through his hip. You're not, uh, thinking of turning....are you?

Hehe - if you look at it from the right hand angle it looks more centered. And no - I like girls.

Pong!

That question mark is in the perfect place!
It matches the expression on the guys face.

Oh yea, AERO bars ROCK! I always buy a few cases when in Canada.

[web.geek]

Hey gang,
Here's some pics of my game room

That LED message board is awesome! How do you get the current game play title to display on it?

[pinballwizard79]

I just noticed the gun sitting on the red pedestal with perfect placement of a light over it.

That almost reminds me of a museum exhibit.

You should put a little velvet rope around it & a framed sign on the wall behind that exhibit saying "Light gun: circa 1986 AD"

Ignore me, its getting late & I didnt talk to anyone at work today 

[XYXZYZ]

Here's my lonely little nerd cave. Most people choose to decorate their apartments with stuff like "furniture". But I, a certified Maverick™, will have it my way.

[HaRuMaN]

^^ very nice!
