Before I begin this thread, I just want to again take the time to thank all of you who submitted your gamerooms for us to share with the world. It means a lot for you to support my project and I'm pretty sure everyone who checks out the site or listens to the podcast appreciates it too. However, we are in need of MORE SUBMISSIONS, so if you haven't yet been showcased on Gameroom Junkies, please submit your gameroom by sending me a PM or email at gameroomjunkies (at) gmail.com . We take all kinds. With that said, on to the business at hand:
This past year on the Gameroom Junkies blog, has been incredible. We had the opportunity to feature some of the most spectacular, innovative, and interesting gamerooms across the country! To end the year out, we decided to hold a contest, determined by popular vote, to decide the BEST gameroom of 2011. The votes have been tallied, and the decision is in.
Before we get to the winners, however, we at Gameroom Junkies want to hand out some awards to game rooms we felt stood out and were deserving of recognition. Winners of these will be presented with a certificate to show off their honor.
Best Use of Space: The Elbow Room Arcade
Proof that big things can come in small packages, this tidy little space is packed to the brim with awesomeness. With no room in his home, Greg constructed this custom shed in his backyard to house his home arcade. I still have no idea how he was able to fit so many games in such a compact space.
Most Unique Theme: The Lost Highway Arcade
John P. McCann puts a lot of energy into making his home arcade a unique space. While others may just hang some posters on the wall, John mounts actual telephone poles, paints murals, clothes mannequins, and produces a complete radio theatre production and story book to tell the backstory about his arcade theme.
Most Innovative Gameroom Feature: Zombies Ate My Arcade
Ever since I saw Emmanuel Lewis on the TV show "Webster" discover a secret passage behind his clock, I dreamed of having my own "batcave" entrance. Zombies Ate My Arcade creator David Thompson actually achieved the dream by building his own "haunted bookshelf" that not only hides the entrance to his horror-themed room, but also has mechanized books that move to create the illusion of being haunted. Spooky and awesome!
