Best addition for a Gameroom other than Arcade Video Game & Pinball?

[hyiu]

well... I want to ask, what do you like to play most ?
and then... what do your friends (who's going to visit your game room) like to play most ?

I guess that will help you decide...

as for dart... I have a friend who got a dartboard...
and a backboard... but that doesn't matter....
when they drink... they will play stupid games...
then they'll try to throw darts at  10 ft, 20 ft, 30 ft away...
far enough that soon or later... they will get a hole in the wall....
so, if darts, I'll say use darts that can't get on the wall...
plastic, magnetic... whatever....

ps: my friends wall has holes all over surrounding the dartboard...

Figured I'd post a pic of the darts & back board

PBW - Great looking Dart setup!

Build that yourself or buy premade/custom build?  Details please, love & want it!!

I made the rest with red burlap, a cork like backboard & cheap wood trim painted black + fished the wire behind the wall (insulation sucked nads).

Pretty soon I am redoing the backboard with wine corks to make the wife feel like part of the basement is for her too (muh ha ha ha ha).

Attached is a pic from the nuvolox guy (pic taken with one of his boards) & some random persons backboard I plan on duplicating.

EDIT: look at those classy ladies on the light, jeah

Thanks but,
I don't want to add something that will cause me to have to sleep alone in the basement  , I want to add fun for the WHOLE family through enhancements to the basement!

Then get a bat pole. One that will automatically change you into a batman costume when you slide down it.

That's why you create a VIP lounge.  Bouncer might get expensive after awhile though...

Don't worry, the therapy the kids will need after they come downstairs and see mommy shaking it on the stripper pole will be tons of fun!

That photo reminds me. No home gameroom is complete without a scoreboard. 

You're talking bout a video game high-score scoreboard, not the type next to a dart board, right?  If so, what are some of you guys using for that?

Update on gameroom so far:
- Found a nice full sized Air Hockey table on local Craigslist
- Looking at a full sized Skee Ball maching on local Craigslist
- Added dart board/scoreoard to my Christmas wishlist

What is the draw of a Pachinko machine and slot machine, if you're not paying out real money??  Pachinko is the thing with the metal balls that bounce off the pins on the way down... right?  Why would people spend time on that?

And slots is just pulling a lever to see if you win... tokens?  I'm not paying people to play games in my house!

THe modern video ones add some nice eye candy to a game room, and chicks dig them.
