Kelsey's Gameroom

I started out with a completely unfinished basement and in 3 weeks I installed the wiring, walls, paint, etc. Unfortunately, my house only has a 1/2 basement, the main living room sits over a crawlspace so the footprint for my gameroom was smaller that I would have liked. And about half of that space needed to be dedicated to the laundry/furnace room because of where the existing utilities were located. I think I made the best of what I had to work with.

The gameroom is basically L-shaped with the video games lined up along the narrow leg of the room. Below is a simple floorplan with overall dimensions. (click for PDF)

View coming down stairs to the basement.
The mini-cab is a 1/3 scale version of the Gottlieb Q*Bert/Mad Planets style cabinet
running MAME with a 13" vertical monitor for the kids.

Paint colors are Home Depot Disney colors.
Star Command Blue and The Queens Robes (purple) on the walls.
25" monitor in the Galaga cabinet

Had to sell off my Centipede, Pac-Man, Ms. Pac, and Time Pilot to make room for the pins and dart machine.
I don't regret the trade-off. :)

I just sprayed the ceiling (floor joists) with flat black paint to make the wiring & ducts blend in,
sort of an industrial look. All my lighting also points from the ceiling towards the walls for indirect
lighting that won't cause reflections on the vid's bezel glasses or pin's playfield glasses.

I have Clay's Williams multigame installed on a set of Joust boards in the Sinistar Cabinet.
