I saw a thread yesterday about a x10 setup for turning your games on & off by remote. I purchased the wiring remote. But it looks like I need to plug into a hardwired base. Could someone please tell what pcs & models numbers I need to get started.
thanks

It depends on what you want, you can have wireless or desktop control that plugs in the ac wall socket.
I went wireless so this is what I used.
X10 Wireless Remote Control System (Remote + Base)

Then you need 1 applance module for each game.X10 Appliance Module 3-Pin

If you need to turn on more than 8 games you need another X10 16-Device Plug-In RF Base because each base will do 8 games.

Or if you dont want to use the remote unit you can use X10 Mini Controller

or this X10 Maxi Controller

Each Appliance Module is rated at 15 amps so you can plug a power strip into one module and turn on 4 games at one time, maybe more or less depending on how power hungry your games are. I have put 4 pinball machines on one with no problems.:D
