Sounds like its going to be cool, my neighbor has a pool table/slot machines/dart machine/kegger in his "man cave" Its pretty cool. Id like to get a pool table but they're out of my budget atm.

you just have to have a place besides the garage to chill out. work, as i found out a looong time ago, is work. let me say this different. I'm an auto mechanic. have been for 30 yrs.  i made my hobby my job. you can only take enough car stuff in one day.   it's nice to be somewhere where i can relax and have a good time. ain't like you can drive anywhere any more and do that. solution? basement. anyone feel the same or have the same?     rt

They are nice.  Of course my ex-wife is enjoying it at my old house right about now.

I did not have any pinball games, but had several stand up arcade games, it was a blast.  I bought several of the older games as those were the ones I grew up with.  Which in a way was great because not many people want a sit down Pole Position, and you can find them cheep.

thats what i'm talking about.

Stand up arcade games are awesome, even without a game room.  An old high school buddy dropped this off in my apartment for Xmas:

Eventually. Have to finish the rest of the upstairs work first. I have like 17 pinballs and several vids set to go into the room.    Been collecting them since I was a sophomore in high school.

Wow nice.

Funhouse and Twilight zone are very sought-after.

  The Cirqus Voltaire is great!  I have a KISS pinball and a Rowe/AMI 45 jukebox.  I hope to add 8 Ball Deluxe and Black Knight 2000 pinballs to the mix.

I remember a version of funhouse where they had the doll's head on TOP of the machine as well and it's mouth and eyes moved when it was making fun of you. I remember being very nervous as a kid looking up at that head staring back to you.

Then there was a pinball machine about Tornados or something that had highspeed fans in the headbox that blew right in your face!

Ive only got one pinball machine and it's currently buried in the shed.

That would be Whirlwind. That game is also in my collection but wasn't setup when I took those pics. Excellent game!  Right now I am trying to find it's twin called Earthshaker. I have looked at a few and was too slow on the trigger on another. It's just as expensive as these darn cars    and just as much fun...
