The wife and I are buying a new house soon. We just signed the offer and should be moving in at then end of June.

The house we are buying has a kick ass man cave! I'll have a wet bar, fridge, microwave, entertainment center...it'll be awesome.

The current owners have a pool table in the back half of the room. I tried to get them to include it, but they had promised it to one of their kids.

But it got me thinking, maybe I should put a game room there! So I'm thinking of buying a pinball machine, a slot machine, and maybe an arcade game or two.

Of course this will be a little while before I can afford these things, but I like planning ahead.

Plus all the kids will want to hang out a Killswitch Jr's house because his dad has arcade games!

Good idea, eh?

I can understand a pool table and pinball machine but unless you're paying out, what's the point of a slot machine?

Get Foosball or air hockey instead.

I just think they are cool. The old one armed bandits, not these new video slots crap. My uncle had an old penny slot machine and I would play with it for hours so I guess I'm a little nostalgic about them

How about a Pachinko machine?

You need the rambo pinball or arcade dig dug or pac-man. That would be cool.

Yeah, A Bar without alcohol




Would you like some Orange Juice with that

You'll think it's cool for an hour, then you'll ignore it for 10 years.


If you want to make a game room, go with some flatscreens and console video games.  The kids will love it, and it will get a lot more use than arcade games.

Pool is always good, too.

Our house in Farmington had a man cave I put up my 61 inch TV with surround sound and one of the huge love sacs plus a huge soft couch.

Why get arcade games when you can get game consoles and hook it up to a massive TV with surround sound.

I could totally slob out in my love sack with the speakers turned up and play either Ps3 or Xbox360 games until I got sores on my ass. I also had my kick bag, bow flex machine and bow flex free weights there so when I felt nasty I could go over work out beat the crap out of my kick bag and go back to being a slob.

Go high tech arcade games while fun take up too much room cost too much for basically old school stuff.

Half of the basement is unfinished, so I still have that option. However I will probably just build a gun room and have a nice Liberty or Fort Knox safe put in for fire protection.

I always wanted that arcade game silent scope.. I think I may see if I can find one, see what the going rate is on 'em.

House of the Dead would be cool too.

You should get need Operation Wolf. Its kinda like silent scope, only instead og a PSG-1 you get an Uzi with a grenade launcher attachment. Your mission is to save hostages.Itll also give awards for Best Sniper (accuracy) and Best Machinegunner () Its BADASS. When dad was still around I always went to his house to play it and the sit-down Galaga. It was always a blast.

Indoor shooting range.

But seriously get a billards table - we have a reasonably priced Olhausen - you'll regret getting a cheap table if you go the billiards route.

Put at least a 50" Plasma in there, and maybe a nice corner aquarium to make the cave have life.

Good luck in your new home!

You actually want all your kids' friends hanging out at your place and trashing your stuff?

It's not the same as an arcade cabinet. I will have a nice TV and consoles down there, but I like old school pinball machines and arcade cabinets more.

The same way he's buying a motorcycle, or a new $1500 pistol, or a ton of pricey shit for his new man cave, or.......

The wifey doesn't make enough to pull it all off, methinks.

I've decided to not get the motorcycle, at least not until my kids are grown up. I really don;t need anymore guns, so I decided against that.

I should have a new job lined up soon. I've only bee without a job for a couple of weeks.

Of course I won't be able to buy all of this at one time, but I can certainly afford it one piece of a time.

You're welcome.  Why wouldn't you accuse capnrob of the same thing?  This is the first time I've posted in one of your threads in a while, but I can do it more often if you'd like.

I dunno, you seem to take a stab at me any chance you can. You've brought nothing but negativity when ever you post in one of my threads. What did I ever do to you? Do you have some personal vendetta against me? I mean, seriously, what's your damage?

Get a MAME cabinet, it'll emulate any videogame you can "find" () a ROM for, so its a lot more useful than a single game cabinet.
