I've had this idea for a while now. One day when I have a house that is big enough, I want to have two game rooms. One will be a normal game room with the normal games and associated stuff. The other one will also be the laundry room. I would like to have a laundromat style arcade. Seems a bit off the wall but it would be pretty easy to have a room styled after a typical laudromat. The place I work for (appliance store) sells coin operated washers and dryers. They are the free standing units that are typically seen in apartment building laundry rooms. I am sure that I could get a couple of pairs without too much $ invested. I was thinkng that two pairs of older GE units would look good with a change machine and several 80's - mid 90's JAMMA games and a beat up Ms. Pac for good measure. That way, I would have something to do while waiting for my laundry. The typical laundromat signs, detergent vending machines and even fake security cameras could also add to the look/feel. A candy machine and 80's era Coke or Pepsi machine would go great as well.
I remember a laundromat from when I was a kid that had a DepthCharge, Carnival and some old EM pin. The games were great, though our quarters usually went into the laundry equipment. They also had a small, free standing popcorn machine that only cost a dime. Great memories. I am sure that most of us did some laundromat time at one point or another and many of them had games. So, is this a good idea or am I nuts?
