My house still a disaster from vacation but getting better w/ pics!

Trying to get all the new stuff to fit in here has been a bitch! Over a week of moving machines, turning, measuring... I turned on the back room for you guys but still don't have power plugged in on about half the house to do lit up and running of the others... Almost there! I'm hoping to clear a little more stand around room, here's a dozen or so glimpses without revealing too much of what I've been putting up around them!

I think you need to generate of MAP for your housecade brother....seriously. I'd get f'n lost, quick.

What's the count up to now in the house?
 
I've still got two more in the garage to move in after I assemble them, and about two spots open awaiting some type of grail to float my way... :)

It is damn jam packed in here, but at least 24 inches of walking distance all the way around. If I could just pick one or two cabinets to let go of I'd have lots of walking and standing around room, but I love most of them equally with a few spoiled ones!

ALMOST everything works... 3/4 Daytonas are working, Indy Heat is 99%, Space Invaders is having board issues, Black Hole is dead, and Quantum is a project... other than that I think everything else turns on and plays good!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! When people come over they say "HOLY @#*%", if they're worthy I then usher them towards the back of the house for more shock and awe... :p

I don't know what the coin-op count IN the house is... lets see here...
10x Driving games in the side room
7x Space themed video arcades in the livingroom
3x Space themed pinball machines in the livingroom
1x Missile Command cockpit in the livingroom
4x E.M. arcades in the livingroom
1x 1950's Stoner candy machine in the livingroom
1x Wurlitzer 3700 Jukebox in the livingroom
2x Video Arcade machines in the kitchen
1x Dr. Pepper pop machine in the kitchen
1x Payphone booth in my kitchen
10x Arcade machines in the back room, with room for 3 more to fit in there
3x Video Arcade machines in the utility room

Damn, 40 game machines in the house! Room for a couple in little saved spots, coin-op do-dads tucked here and there, and another half dozen coin-op vending machines in the way!!

I know theres gotta be 20 machines out in the garage, quite easily...

What I want to know is how is the house holding up to that current draw? If you turn everything on how many circuts do you blow? You must be driving the panel well over 100% of capacity.

Looks good...

Still hoping that you can find me a Zeke's Peak :)
 
Karl, that is so freakin awesome the way the games are just everywhere. I wish I had the guts to just make my whole house a gameroom instead of just having a gameroom. I bet its a blast wandering through there for the first time.

I don't know, the power meter goes pretty crazy and I've never blown or popped a breaker though. Its spread across the house so its 8-10 games or so on the higest load circuit, turned on in rows of 3-5. I haven't had to run fat power cables off the non-electrical burdened half of the house! :eek:

I'd like to do some A/C and am looking at getting a window or free standing unit but don't want to run it on a game circuit so it must be corded from my bedroom.

All balls and no brains! :) Games everywhere is cool and unique, but an instant turnoff to 3/4ths of all the women that I date or mess around with. :( Once I find that crazy gamer chick thats single, who I always meet that is happily in a relationship, and I'm set for life...

Looking at buying a chunk of property next year with gameroom and garage in my mind top priority... I'd like to have 100+ machines setup in a true arcade style room with a bar and all the do-dad goody crap I pick up along the way!
 
That is totally awesome!! Good thing you are skinny so you can walk through:D:D Someday you'll find a nice game-loving girl... I hope for your sake anyway!!
 
Wow must say that is one stuffed room. Good collection of Em Shooters. Would love to have that EM Sea Wolf.
 
Livin' the dream, bro! :D

And you're right. It's an instant chick filter. The one who doesn't freak out is the keeper!

Simply awesome!
 
What kinda douchebag has both a Zekes Peke and an Ice Cold Beer setup right next to each other...

You bastage!

...yes... I'm jealous.
