I don't know if this was mentioned and the later versions looked ok, but keep in mind the clearance in front of the pinball machines needed to get the glass off - about 3'-6" minimum.

Thanks for this, good info to know.

Finally got over to the house last night and made some measurements of the garage. So now I can work with real figures I was able to plan something out that was a little more 'doable'.

I thought it would be good to try and plan a more modular approach as I don't know when we will be doing the extensions to the property, so I'm trying to break it up in such a way that the whole concept can grow as the house does and not depend on that happening any time soon.



In this layout I've been able to use real measurements for all the cabs, furniture and the overall space so this should be pretty spot on. I sat down and thought about all the cabs I think I would like to eventually own and then started slotting them in. You can see that I have ditched the social seating and big screen in favor of a modest bar, a small table and a nice size wall mounted TV.



Every game can be played at once without anyone clashing with anyone else. The space fits the following:

11 Upright Cabs
2 Cockpits/sit downs
2 Pins
1 skeeball

There's also a space left between the skeeball and bar to be able to walk through an entrance later on when we extend out that way. The other side of that wall would be a dedicated theater room.

Except for the poor soul that gets stuck on Galaxian while someone is playing Gorf. Happened to me on a Centipede at the RMPS this year. I was done, but trapped by someone playing the game next to it. Might want to stick a game in that corner at a 45 degree angle.

Looks nice.  I think you will get a lot more enjoyment out of this than with a dedicated theater space.
