Game Rooms - Pinball, MAME, Multicade

[72SSAbody]

Anyone else have a game room? I love console play, but these old machines really bring back some childhood memories.

I've attached some pics of my first pin - MotorDome

I just picked up my second pinball machine (Williams Road Kings) for the game room. It was sold "as-is" and came to the house as DOA. Time to start digging into it and fixing the sucker.

I need to find a Jamma arcade cabinet and throw in a multicade card to have my choice of games to play.

The pool table in the game room was a no brainer & also on the list is to build a bar down in the game room as well.

Anyone else have a game room?

My family used to have an old pinball machine when I was a kid, and I loved that thing. Can't remember the name of it now, but it had an alpine skiing theme. This was back in the late 80's and it seemed quite old even back then (must've been from the early 70's). My parents ended up selling it

My dream is to have a couple pinball machines again someday. How much do they go for these days?

It all depends on the game, condition and age. They can go for next to nothing to a couple of grand for some very popular games.

For those of us who are broke, Future Pinball is a great freeware app that lets you design or use some great classic tables.

I don't need a game room. We have the world renowned Ground Kontrol.

YES! Man, that brings back memories. I used to play that for hours at a time. Wow, it's from 1965....wish I still had it.

Nice place!! Back where I grew up they have this place: www.1984arcade.com

Neat place to take the nephews for a great time in the afternoon.

Here not so much. Our house on the ranch in Texas has a game "room" so to speak, with a 1918 Brunswick pooltable, a nice big card table, and an old mechanical slot machine from the 40's that I've fixed a couple times. I lost my pictures of the stuff in a hard drive problem a while ago, so no go for those.

As far as in my house here, the closest I have is the Pachinko machine that I restored in my room, it's bloody loud though. I do want to get some pinball machines eventually though.

I will have pinball machines, I love them. I was never too interested in the games, aside from Area 51 and the occasional driving game.

Here is my project pin. "Road Kings" by Williams.

I'm thinking I'll call on a "Buck Rogers" pin that's on the local craigslist. Brings back memories watching that horrible show as a youth. :lol:
