I built it from scratch, what do you need?

I guess I'm most curious about the length and width of the space needed to do something like that. I'm trying to design an open media room with a bar area and room for a few arcade machines. I'm not totally convinced I'll have the space. I've got about 600sqft to work with...

Jesus, 600 square is TONS of space. My main bar area is 11'X14' and the games area is 11' X 9' So I've got only a fraction of what you can work with. I can fit in that bar, plus 3 games, and comfortably fit 20 people. At 30 people it's pretty tight, but luckily there is that walkout door right there which makes it feel much bigger than it actually is. The window by the bar helps too, otherwise it would get claustophibic in there real quick.
Do a good layout first with real measurements, and I'm sure you can have a killer bar/gamesroom. There's also lots of room left over for the media area! Just have the media area be dual-use.

Did you beef up the electricity? I know you originally started with wanting only 5 arcade games, but you seem to have managed to pass that up. Did you have to do any electrical work?

Yes, I ran extra 20 amp circuits. I think I still have a decent amount of headroom for more games. ;D

I added two 20amp circuits. Well, I had one already added for my office, I just tapped off that one as my office and my gameroom aren't both in operation at the same time.
My gameroom has a total of two dedicated 20 amp circuits, a dedicated 15 amp circuit (the existing garage circuit) and a shared 15 amp circuit (shares some sockets with the family room). I run my games mostly on the 20 amp circuits, though 2 + 3 pins are running on the dedicated 15 amp circuit... and the shared circuit I use mostly for the popcorn machine, dart board, and such...
extendedplayarcade:
Great idea on that Silver Strike and golden tee machine. Did you buy the kit from IT? The kit that allows you to switch PCB boards by holding down the start buttons or what ever configuration it is.
I have a golden Tee but don't have a new enough one that has the Nitehawk system in it. I got scammed into buying the pcb board for the 2007 silver strike but it won't work with out the nighthawk but i obviously found that out too late
thanks for the photo of your game room. looks awesome
