I've noticed over the years that some of you have some pretty good ideas when it comes to gameroom setup and with the dawn of all the 3d computer programs where you can visually see the setup..I wondered if some of you could use your skills to show me what you'd do with my game collection...

I'll give you the dimensions of the gameroom bldg..and the list of games...and you go to town..this is something I'd like to have good idea for when the bldg goes up..obviously I can change it..but it would help to know what kind of setup I'm looking at when having the electrician etc do the outlet setup..

Ok..the bldg is 30ft by 60ft long (1800 sq ft.)...however 9ft by 30ft is for storage racks and game storage towards the rear of bldg..so you have 30ft by 51 ft to play with. This is a rectangle layout for remaining space ..no odd shaped walls or nooks etc..

About your game list:

I'd love to see your Halloween themed slot.
 
Thanks..I'll take a picture tomorrow of Halloween slot if I get time...I have a ton of other nos kits etc to make a lot more games but for now this is lineup..I think I'm going to keep around 75 vids..and upgrade the pins to around 20..with some redemption games being no more than 5..I like having some doubles especially when its upright and cocktail..so novice game player or fan can see the difference in the styles or at least get an idea..
 
Wow man, your list of games is awe-inspiring.. I like it alot and envy the amount of space you have at your disposal! Looking forward to seeing what ideas are generated for your game setup! I've had a heck of a time and expense getting 30 games working and nice.. Don't want to even imagine how difficult that is for 75-100 games, heh.

dude thats an impressive list!!!!!!!!!!


heres my krappy little game room. I did do "warehouse style" with open celing joists. painted EVERYTHING flat black.

 
Question about your ceiling. I was thinking of doing the "warehouse" thing in mine too. How did you go about it? I'm assuming you sprayed it? Was it messy to do? Got any tips on how you did it?
 
Yes messy as hell. Used a cheapie heabor frieght paint sprayer, and had to thin the hell out of the paint with water to get it to spray. By the time i was done, i had so much paint on the floor that i went ahead and painted it too :D

SO yeah to get it in all those nooks and crannys spraying is going to be the only way to go. make sure to mask EVERYTHING you dont want little black dots all over.
