Quick video of my gameroom

Lol. The 50 was already on the scoreboard when I rolled it. Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Yeah, I can't wait to get the Tron pin in that Tron room. I could have a total Tron room. Planning on moving the Tron in there once the pin arrives. You can also see why I'm trying to get a DOT in there too. I love collecting stuff so the rooms just keeps filling up with games, consoles, posters, figures, and whatever other 80's stuff I see that brings me back. The EL wire has been awesome. I have 3 strands of 20 yards each. I got them on eBay for like $35 shipped each (including the plug) from China. It runs really easy and it's only held up by clear tacks. I read that it wears out over time but it would take a couple of years of running full time to run down to half strength so I'm not too worried since it's only on for an hour or two here and there. I think I'm going to get rid of the crane. The kids liked it but it's a pain to keep working and it isn't a classic vid. I have a NEO GEO in the garage that needs a home too so the crane needs to go.

Yeah! down with the crane! woot! So much of pocket money gets wasted on those, If your kids really want to play it. Have them play it a Chuckie Cheeses.
 
Ordered. I e-mailed Amazon to give Jess and MoreCowbell a %. Look for a check in the mail soon.

I'll go stand by my mailbox! I really am amazed at how cool that little thing is. It looked even better when it sat on top of the crane and shined upward a bit. I now have it mounted on the ceiling which is great to keep it out of the way, but it is mostly angled down and away from the ceiling. I may move it at some point.
 
I like the EL lights - a nice alternative to rope lighting..

Where did you get your JP pin? Just started looking for one last week, hopefully they made enough of them to where they are easy to find.
 
oh....i thought 50 + 20 was 70(your score jumps to 100).....my bad

I see what you're saying and you're right. There are two reasons for that scoring play. 1) The machine goes by 50's so 10 is worth 50, 20 is worth 100 and so on. 2) The other thing is that I had started a game before and there was a score of 50 still on there, I'm guessing it thought that ball I rolled was a new game. It's never had scoring issues so that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
 
We had my son's volleyball team over for a carb loading party for their tournament tomorrow (lots of pasta and bread, yum) so the arcade was in full "company mode". Figured I might as well get a video of it while it's looking clean. Hope you like it.


WOW DUDE!!! you have some awesome stuff and a nice setup there! You are making me wish i still lived in naperville!
 
wtf...i too ordered one of those lights on Amazon Saturday afternoon for $34.92. Today I look at its down to $29.99. What gives?!?!? :)
 
Nice video! I too have those laser lights in my game room as well. I bought mine at Spencer gifts and now I see I spent too much =-(
 
I have that same Darth Maul saber. I am 99% confident it is the one that was recalled for melting the plastic battery casings. Well, you might have an updated version, but it looks way too much like the one I have that does it. Just a warning in the case that you have the same one I do
 
Awesome game room!

By the way, what is that lit ATARI sign? A lite brite? It looks great.

Thanks, guys. Yeah, the Atari sign is a Lite Brite. My wife found it at a garage sale and my son and I put the pegs in to say Atari. Fits the theme of the basement well. Also, I am already committed to the LE version of the Tron pin. Can't wait until July. A Tron pin only comes out once so I figured I better jump on it. Now I just need a DOT.
 
LUVIT! This is why I became a member here.

Awesome room, thanks for sharing.
The Tron room looks like it should fit 4 games... Hmmm, to go along with the Tron, DOT, and Tron Pin, maybe a custom Space Paranoids cab? :D

I'd love to make that room 100% Tron. Once I get out from under the crushing cost of the Tron pin, I'll worry about DOT and something else. I was thinking that maybe I'll take a DOT and turn it into a chair with a phone! :D
