no messing around on that posting! That is a serious amount of games stuffed into a place that size. You may get the trophie for games per square foot FF.

The new layout is nice friz! As I learned this past Thursday, the best addition to my gameroom has been the crappy loveseat. People hung out there alot more with a somewhat comfy place to sit. I put on a ping pong clinic and had a crowd watching.

Thanks... I can actually fit ONE MORE in the game room, but it's a squeeze and I like having a little extra room.

Just outside the door is Asteroids & Terminator 2 and to the left of the door is Lightning & Secret Service pins...

...and yes, the couch went in to satisfy my company. If it was up to me, I could fit 2 more games there!

Looks great FF except for all that godawful Steelers paraphenalia..........stupid Steelers........

I say knock that garage door out and extend the room another 10 or 12 feet. Who cares what it looks like on the outside.

Flake=69er...ERRRRRRRR....49er fan.

I was just thinking about recommending putting a small mobile home in your driveway and filling it with your overflow. When I thought of something from the past.

When I was a punk kid, the county fair was in out town for a week a year. For a couple of years, they had this trailer that they hauled in. They would lift the sides up and out (for shelter) and it was full down both sides with arcade games. It was the first time I ever played Missile Command and Tempest. If that trailer (or one like it) pulled into my town for a fair or whatever, my wife would not see me for 2 days. She would also call me a retard since I could play 90% of them on my MAME. She rags on me anyway because I told her about a time when my gramma gave me a $20 bill and I took it down to the grocery store and dumped the whole thing into a Spy Hunter machine.
My wife just don't get it.

Hey Frizz, is that a single car garage? What is the width? I am thinking about converting my single-car side of my garage into a gameroom - mine would be 9 feet wide.

I really want a paperboy machine ---fudgesicle---!

It's the single car side of a 3-car garage. There is approximately 10' x 20' in there...

FrizzleFried · « **Reply #89 on:** April 28, 2009, 10:19:15 am »

Here's what's on the other side of the door...

Flake · « **Reply #90 on:** April 28, 2009, 10:52:04 am »

Damn you have a T2! I would love to have one of those....or an Operation Wolf. Cant find them around STL - at least not for a reasonable price.

Neverending Project · « **Reply #91 on:** April 28, 2009, 11:47:53 am »

Do you think 9 feet would work? I have a very similar situation, but mine would be a bit smaller (9x14 or so). Also, what do you do for heating/cooling? I think we are in pretty similar climates.

LLUncoolJ · « **Reply #92 on:** April 28, 2009, 01:12:26 pm »

I hope to someday need an overflow for my gameroom.

FrizzleFried · « **Reply #93 on:** April 28, 2009, 06:18:10 pm »

Yeah, 9' should work...it may be a little tight, but should be OK. I use a portable AC for cooling (and I vent the exhaust to the attic) and I use an electric "oil" heater for heat. Works decent enough. The garage is insulated as well (all walls, the door, and the ceiling).

pinballwizard79 · « **Reply #94 on:** April 28, 2009, 09:55:10 pm »

Operation Wolf & mechanized attack make me want to hide money from my GF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HaRuMaN · « **Reply #95 on:** April 29, 2009, 07:27:02 am »

The start of my gameroom, I haven't put my other games in yet, so more to come...

What else is going in?

Mortal Kombat
Spanish Eyes pinball
Capcom Impress
Popeye cocktail cabinet
"Island Song" Pachislo
random Pachenko game (old)

Here are my latest gameroom photos...taken yesterday. I tried to get all artsy-fartsy with the last couple...

For some reason, I got a chuckle out of picturing you laying on the floor setting up the shot for the "artsy-fartsy" pictures

The game room looks great. I would be paranoid about having the best game next to the garage door. With my luck, some moron visiting would pull into my driveway and smash through the garage door and take out the SW cp.

I'd still like to check out your set up one of these days. You are always welcome to check mine out, but it is a room sparsly populated with a few games...hardly something to see.

Anytime brother Hattrick... you do have my phone number, right? (if not, PM and I'll shoot it over).

Yeah...I'd rather have the SW CP in a different location, but there's not much option if I want to fit everything, etc... plus it's sort of nice having the CP there as it's on wheels and if I need to access the garage door, it wheels out of the way with very little effort.

Any updates? Anyone? Anyone?

RayB · « **Reply #99 on:** April 26, 2010, 06:07:39 pm »

Dining room space turned into game room space.

The Centipede on the right is moving into the corner space to the left of Juno First.

My other minis are in the basement.

TheShanMan · « **Reply #100 on:** April 29, 2010, 08:15:24 pm »

Here are some fairly recent ones of my game room.

EDIT: Forgot upstairs, which currently just has a coin op air hockey table, but I plan to eventually get a skee ball up there, along with maybe a foosball table, and couch + TV.

opt2not · « **Reply #101 on:** April 29, 2010, 08:34:23 pm »

TheShanMan, wow! I really love your gameroom.

TheShanMan · « **Reply #103 on:** May 03, 2010, 08:00:16 pm »

Thanks! I'm happy with how it's coming along but I'm itching for another game or two right now.

HaRuMaN · « **Reply #104 on:** May 04, 2010, 07:51:23 am »

Here's an update on mine:

opt2not · « **Reply #105 on:** May 04, 2010, 05:57:43 pm »

Nice mix of video and mechanical gaming HarumaN!
I'd love to have a candy cab too...

Oh, and I love your retro console setup! I really should set that up myself, all my old consoles are scattered in various storage locations in my apartment. The only thing that's hooked up out of the retro era currently is my NES.

btw, Is that Popeye cocktail working?

Yeah, those are shelves from Ikea (Expedit), worked out pretty well for the console setup.

And yes, the Popeye works! I just got some keys to it, I'm gonna work on cleaning up the top (someone somehow spilled soda between the top glass and artwork

)

pinballwizard79 · « **Reply #107 on:** June 08, 2010, 01:49:57 am »

Damn Shanman thats flippin nice, HarmaN you have an awesome space there too.

Its good to know there are other people with piles of big toys in their house too

Smeghead · « **Reply #108 on:** June 10, 2010, 03:50:03 pm »

and big piles of money

Flake · « **Reply #109 on:** June 10, 2010, 03:52:26 pm »

Seriously, someone needs to merge this thread to the other GAME ROOM PICS thread. If I remember right there are actually lots more pics in the other thread. Merge the threads and make one master thread for all the game room goodness.

Pinball Wizard · « **Reply #110 on:** June 10, 2010, 05:03:57 pm »

ShanMan: What type of lighting do you have in your gameroom? Is that just black lights or what?

TheShanMan · « **Reply #111 on:** June 14, 2010, 12:10:49 pm »

Yep. Just blacklights. I need to take some new pics and post them. A few new games (2 SF Rush's and Rally X) have forced a significant layout change (gradually my current "game shop" space is shrinking) and the room has a much better "arcadey" feel too it.

HarumaN awesome room, that pool table makes me jealous! I'm an extremely avid billiards player, but my pool table is quite beat up these days! I really like the color of the felt too, I haven't seen many with that color. I'm at an arcade board drooling over a pool table, haha!
Also, thanks for shopping at IKEA

business has been pretty good as of late for us!

HaRuMaN · « **Reply #115 on:** July 19, 2010, 02:41:09 am »

Hey thanks...

I got the pool table second hand, it actually came with that color felt, which ties it in to the room pretty nicely. I have the same color pool chalk to match.

The IKEA stuff worked perfect for what I wanted to do with that area (it was actually my wife's idea), and the price was pretty reasonable, so there you go.
