Took a week off of work to finally finish my gameroom the way I wanted it after buying our new house. I bought this house because it is up on stilts, with about a 4 car garage underneath, which I use for my games. I built a wall down the middle to seperate my shop and area where the cars park from the gameroom area. I painted the ceiling and concrete pillars black, and put up faux brick paneling between the pillars. I ran two 20 amp circuits to a centralized switch panel, and ran the conduits across the ceiling to the concrete pillars where I put switched outlets for all the games, black lights, neons, etc. Now all the games can be turned on from one location, and the conduits on the ceiling make it look kinda industrial. It is air conditioned and heated with a natural gas heater I installed on the wall. Maybe gonna build a bar eventually, but for now, I love it. I think I have room for about 5 more games, maybe more if I move the elliptical and bowflex to another room. Now, to find the Star Wars Trilogy I want!!!!!! Cost me about 700 bucks, which coulda bought a game, but I wanted to spend my game budget on the room this time, and Im glad I did.

It kinda feels more like a pub, with games in it, as opposed to just an arcade.

What do you guys think? My friends who have seen it love it.

I love it too.

I just started our game room remod in our basement, and i wanted to go with the same look you got.

where is a good place to buy the faux brick panels? Menards/lowes/home depot? ect.

how much per sheet?

awesome job! i like the new paper box too, you should add a payphone too.

I have a payphone for my game room.

I got the brick panels at Lowes, 27 bucks a sheet, i used 15. The Usa Today box actually has my stereo in it, and its remote works through the window. Thanks guys!!!!
 
Looks awesome. I always wanted to put fake brick wall paper up over REAL bricks and invite friends over and say "Feel it...feels real doesn't it?"
 
Nice! I like the brick too!

Explain the Cruisin light.

Is that from a machine?

Fantastic! I love the look and the vibe you get from the pictures. You know you're gonna have to eventually move the exercise equipment to feed the disease....

Yes, its a dual Cruisn Header, bought here from Advertgrafix(probably spelled dat wrong)

I wired it to a plug for now, till I aquire another Cruisn to link


That is the link to the brick panels I bought at Lowes, its really nice, feels just like real brick(if one was so inclined to actually feel it)!!!!

The Paragon is my grail, perfect playfield, perfect backglass, and all new boards, I restenciled it, thats why it looks good. It could easily pass for brand new

Thanks all for the props!!!

got it. Thanks! Is it a hard foam or plastic?
 
Yep, I love those faux brick panels, nice looking room. I am going to be using those panels in my garage. They are on sale for $20/ sheet at Menards right now. They feel like some sort of composite material. Are they easy to nail thru? Will a crown stapler work in the mortar lines?
 
Home run! looks great, i like the pub/arcade feel. Nice room, i'm sure you'll enjoy

Hey Phet,
You could nail it, or staple, its only maybe 1/4 thick. Honestly, you cant see the black screws I hung it with unless you are literally a foot away. The patterns line up easily, I bet you could even rub in some black caulk and make the seam line disappear, but i am more than happy with the way it came out. I also hung all my wall stuff from black chain from the tops of the walls, and it looks good, and if i ever need to move something, because I move the games around, I wont have any holes in the brick.
