In honor of getting all of my machines running in the Outer Limits, I decided to play a few games with my kids, then snap some sweet pics. Enjoy.

Happiness is a 100% operational gameroom.

How do you get the pics to look so good, as far as balancing the light levels from the marquees vs screens vs room lighting? Whenever I take a pic of one of my games, the marquee is blown out & the screen is blurry... And I'm not using a cheapo camera or a phonecam, but a decent point & shoot.
 
Amazing as always. Love the Galaxian, did you restore it? If so did you put up a link? Would love to see that.

Not really restored, more like cleaned up. I cleaned the inside, including the power brick, then replaced the monitor, washed the cab and installed a high score save kit. The cp had been restored by the previous owner. The sides and front have some graphic loss but aren't horrible. I just don't wanna lose the textured vinyl so I haven't installed the repro art yet.
 
wall art/black lights

Nice looking game room..


I am working on my gameroom also..

where did you buy the black lights from.

all i have or can find are the shop type long lamps, and the big black light tube bulbs.

also who painted your wall art, and is it direct on the wall, or on a canvas?

thanks

You can get the black lights at any home improvement store or Walmart. Spencer's has them as well if you wanna pay twice the price. I painted the mural myself, right onto the wall. I installed wall murals on the 2 other visible walls.

I am sure that feels great! I did one crazy recapping on my DK Cabaret this weekend, it was a mess inside, wrong caps, in backwards, crazy hacks! I worked somehow, but recently wouldn't lock on the vertical hold. But now it is working 100%! I still need to paint the front and install the NOS marquee sticker, but that is the easy stuff!

Congrats!
