Hands down bar height cocktails for the win. I've gotten my basement to a place where really the only cocktails left in my lineup need to have the leg extensions. Especially the red tent. Having it up on the tall legs, its stable and more approachable. It takes up less space at the end of a row this way too.
The Red tent plays better standing up, but my Atari row, solid. Part of the cash/trade deal I had to make for my Tempest was my Joust, and although it makes me a bit sad, I can't think of where I'd put it in the house if I had it back.
I'd say this is the best possible lineup you can do with Atari cocktails, (maybe Space Duel would be a good argument to add, but i already have the upright). Asteroids Deluxe, the best b/w vector Atari ever created. Warlords, the best raster and 4p cab Atari ever created, and Tempest, the best colour vector Atari ever created. (If you look closely theres a bar height Rockola Armour Attack there too).
We do have a place for sit down cocktails here. Up on the top floor in the loft area we have a classic gaming section with a 32" tube and various consoles. Along the wall are my Sheriff and Helifire cabs with matching stools I made.
Getting stools out of the basement arcade was a game changer. We have more room and the games are honestly enjoyed more. Some of my friends have smaller kids, but to solve that we just added a couple milk crates that tuck in under the red tent and armour attack. Super simple.
