First ever 'gameroom' pic...
- Thread starter jow

This is my first Gameroom and 3 games (in 2004) the turbo outrun is long gone and also all the beer lights.

I would first need a game room to have a pic of one.

You have a game right? and I'd imagine it's in a room.....

I have 3 actually but scattered throughout the house.
No game room per se.
We have too much crap in the house to keep them all in one place.

Game #1 and #2. A Double Dragon converted to SNK Bermuda Triangle and a busted Millipede. I had bought the new house with room for games but not moved in yet. These are sitting at the end of the old garage. Circa 2008.
Thanks! I have 2 of them, the new style icee cup which is smaller and the old school taller cup(shown in the picture) which I remember as a kid at my local Kmart store, can I say "blue light special" lol! good ol days!
This is how it began. All 3 are long gone now.

Damn in '81 I was in the bars drinking heavily and doing lots of drugs.
I don't miss it one bit though.
Here's a pretty old picture from when all games could be captured in one picture! Other than the Speakeasy pinball machine, everything else is still in the collection and the Q*Bert looks much better now.

Here's mine, taken all of 6 months ago. Man, how the time flies...
Only later did I realize that I got both the Simpsons and SWT on their title screens:

This is me playing our pinball machine in our den, probably taken around 1980. My younger brother (the one in red) now owns the machine.

Here's the start of things.... This is a screen shot taken from Sony Betamax home video in 1984 soon after I bought my Space Ace after Starcade. It's in the family room, stuck behind the ironing board (right rear of image).
I have actual still photos of it at my folks house that are much better, perhaps I'll find them some day.

LOL my first game room....err game corner to be exact.
Just 1 Sega Blast City candy cab running Tekken Tag. 1 Japanese Tekken pachinko slot machine that my wife bought me for a gift.
This was taken in Japan a couple years ago.
Today, Still same machine, different corner, I have the slot machine ready to be put up at a later time. Also working on getting a SF2 dynamo cab all along that back wall there. After that I really don't see myself getting any more machines since it would be more of a pain that anything. I just wanted 1 Japanese cab and 1 American cab with running my 2 grails respectively as they originally did.
SF cab like that but not that starwars machine. (not my pic BTW)

Haha, this is a pretty fun thread!
Here is my first "gameroom pic." Really, it's just a crappy Frogger alone in the garage. It made a fun restoration, though! I think this pic is just over 2 years old.
