Gameroom Photos - Add Yours

Pool room

My home theatre...

[Marsupial]

I'm still working on cab #1, but having a new house means we get to put up decorations... I had to do something to the gameroom-to-be.





I'm supposed to put 2-3 vid cab, and a console setting including the old NES, SNES, Sega master system and a PS2 just for DDR - unless at some point I convert my DDR mats to hard versions and have them work under MAME.

There's a wii and another PS2 in the kid's playroom...

I'll post more when there's progress... but we're still unpacking boxes so there's no rush.

[Krupa]

Hello everybody. Since many of your gamerooms inspired me to get into the hobby this seemed the perfect thread for my first post.  This is actually 2 pictures combined. That's why there's a little distortion around the Nintendo cabs. The cabs you can't really see are Tetris and SF2 Championship Edition.

And yes I'm missing a ghost. It broke during a remodel and another is on its way.

[Krupa]

Here's the downstairs.  The Elvis tree will eventually be replaced with an Alley Cats shuffle alley that I'm presently restoring.

In the process of building a house...but here are the plans

[HaRuMaN]

What goes in the empty room?

What goes in the empty room?

required storage from the wife 

[Benevolance]

Or you could lock the wife in the empty room and have TWO floors of gaming.

Krupa, love the arcade!

she has bigger then the pool table just for storage?
Man, that's more then in my current house!

I tought it was the hidden ultrarare arcade lounge or something. That would have been sweet

Dirty, I like the plans.  What program did you use for that?

If that's a projection screen, are you saving room for the projector?

That small white wall (under the stairs, near the poker table) would be a great location for an in wall touch screen jukebox (pc behind the wall)

Any plans for ceiling speakers throughout?

I used sketchup.  Free by google.

Yea, it'll be a projection screen.  The projector will be mounted in the curved wood over the bar seating facing the projection screen.  I figured I'd just cut out a nook in there for the projector.

And I've played around with the jukebox idea, and it's definitely going in the projects list, but the list is filling up quick.  When I start finishing the basement, I'll rough in speakers where I want them and get to finishing it when I can.  I agree with your location for the in wall touch screen jukebox.

We move in August 17 

I can't wait to get going on this.

I know, that's what it would of been.  I told her she can have to upper two floors if she gave me the basement.  And she's already intruding into my space!

Hah, that wouldn't be much smaller than what we're living in now.

Special made for two 300lbs horses ... lol ...

Look at the size of that CP!   

[HaRuMaN]

Do you find it awkward to play being so far off center from the monitor?

[Jasonmm]

a little , player 2 is better than player 1 , its a 29in monitor , so its pretty big

Do you find it awkward to play being so far off center from the monitor?

[RayB]

you could lay a sleeping bag on that CP and voila, guest bed!

[Blanka]

Where did you find all those Sketchup cabs. I've been looking for them....

[TheShanMan]

Gozer5454 on klov has made hundreds of models! Other people have made them too. Just search the 3D warehouse and you'll find them.

My latest 'final not going to change' lineup.
Subject to change..

[DeLuSioNal29]

This was a taken a while back so the machines have changed slightly, but the walls remain the same.

[newkillergenius]

Awww damn!  So many of these gamerooms are looking great!  Pretty good thread here.


Almost makes me want to get out my camera.

[newkillergenius]

So I did.  N Joy.
Note these are all dedicated original arcade PCB's in these cabinets.  There is absolutely no emulation in this collection at all.
(not that there is anything wrong with that and not knocking anyone at all.  I just prefer the challenge of keeping things 100% original if possible.)

Ghosts N Goblins


Castlevania and Tournament Cyberball


The frightfully dirty shop.  Pole Position, Roadblasters and punch-Out are on the fritz- but they'll be back-  They will.


Time Soldiers, Pole Position, Exidy Multi, Pinball Pool.


The Wink- Tulsa's current champ on Track & Field.


Multi Kombat (MK, MK2)


There's piles of this crap in there.  Over 360 NES games, and many many consolas.


My goooood buddy, Xybots!  Well, the marquee at least.  I was fartin' around!


South view- Black Hole, Pin-Bot, Multi-Kombat, Galaga 60-1.


Sky Soldiers, Rastan, Gondomania, and Silk Worm


Street Fighter Alpha 3, Outrun, Rastan (working on cp AGAIN) Pole Position II and Monaco GP cockpit


Battle Shark, Lil' Hustler & Gal's Panic


NFL Blitz/ NBA Hangtime, Killer Instinct II, Time Soldiers, Multi Kombat (moved around a bit as you can tell)


The Rockstar cooler with Titanium Megatouch in the background.  Bar is wrapped in pure copper.


KLAX, A.P.B. (which now belongs to Witchboard), Street Fighter II World Warrior


As you can tell, I am not much of a photographer.

Check ya later!

Jason, I really dig that marquee wall!  That is an awesome idea. 

[TOK]

I'm about 90% done, I guess its close enough. Still have outlets to wire, crown molding to install and a couple more games to move out here. Things have stalled, proving once again to never make it playable before its totally done.
No smart ass comments on my sucky high scores! 

[HaRuMaN]

Where did you get your carpet?  I'm looking to do something similar to my room eventually.

looks great!  I like the high score board.

If you ever want to make one ... I got lots of little helpful hints ...

WOW you have alot of toys .... !!!! I love it ...

Thanks! That is a pattern called Fiesta from carpetbargains.com
They were great to deal with. They took my order and called me back the same day with an exact freight amount, and delivery date. I asked if I needed to have it sent to somewhere with a loading dock, and the lady actually told the shipping company I was residential and they delivered in a box truck.

The only thing is that they only offer a couple of patterns, but their prices and service are great.

It actually is blacklit by an LED panel (its like 120 LED's in a case about the size of a small LCD TV). The pics don't capture the way it glows in person. The scoreboard glows too, which wasn't captured at all.

[Benevolance]

Love the carpet, and I especially love the scoreboard idea. It would be a great way of helping guests select a game to play on a Mamed cabinet. Right now I find people see the massive selection and get paralyzed by choice. And if I fire up a game before people arrive, that's the only game that will be played all night. Are those mostly dedicated cabs you've got there?

You've got a 4000 point lead on my Bezerk hi-score. I've got to play some more.

[TOK]

I have to get some better pics... I had the lens set too slow to capture pics in the dark and it made all the marquee's bloom. Right now there are 3 MAME cabs -a vertical, a horizontal and a Stargate/Defender that isn't in the room yet (its a bartop and I have to make a base for it). There is also a Golden Tee Fore, Soul Edge (horizontal JAMMA cab I swap boards on) and Stern Moon War.

The game selection on the board is all stuff my buddies and I play on the MAME cabinets, and there is some back/forth history on all of those games and the scores are all saved on the machines from up to 5 years ago. That really keeps it fun.
I just broke 100,000 on Scramble, which is why that one is blank. The next highest score was 28k, so I think I have that one for a long time. Most of the others could go down an any time, and likely will with bragging rights for all to see.
