Few weeks ago, I went to the new Pat's GameRoom. He works on it since maybe one years, and now... at least ... it's time to bring games into it :)
Last month, Pat got its very first games... have a look at this post :arrow: https://www.dragonslairfans.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=265
So here's the situation before the new load of games :

He asked me to come in order to 'supervise" this arrival of games, and also help him to configure a mame computer :)
So for the moment, his family can play two games :
World Cup Soccer pinball :

Namco's Soul Edge :

This is the D-Day for him... 4rd of april 2007 :arrow:
:arrow: It'll be christmas in august for the childs :arrow:

First gift ... an authentic Babyfoot :P

The gameroom is at the first floor...

See how to bring it upstair :arrow:

Fortunately, it has an elevator to load until 400kg :
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp8.jpg)
...does the passage will be large enough for the babyfoot ?
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp9.jpg)
No problemo 8)
Ok, now a quick inspection of it :
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp10.jpg)
All is fine... Next toy :roll: :wink:
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp11.jpg)
The next toy is ... a pool :shock: :o
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp12.jpg)
...ouch... quite an heavy thing... :evil:
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp13.jpg)
The first idea was to use the elevator, like we did for the babyfoot...
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp14.jpg)
... but because of the size of the pool, we were a little bit affraid to damage it... so, for the moment, the pool stay in the garage few days...
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp15.jpg)
OK, there's no more 'toys' in the seller's trailer... let's move It ... By the way, I would like to have a similar trailer.. .very usefull for Arcade Warehouse & Roadtrips :roll: :wink: :arrow:
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp16.jpg)
The next one is ... a pinball :
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp17.jpg)
NO FEAR :P
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp18.jpg)
It looks very nice ... Pat is not really a 'die-hard' arcade game player, he loves pinballs :wink:
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp19.jpg)
...same technique than the babyfoot... very easy :o :
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp20.jpg)
Don't try this at home :lol: :lol: :arrow:
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp21.jpg)
Few more steps... and it'll be 'on location' 8)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp22.jpg)
... the last part from the 'NO FEAR' pinball :
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp23.jpg)
It's not finished... one more game... Kids don't know what it is... but they are attracted by it 8) Like we were when we saw an arcade video game or a pinball for the first time :o
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp24.jpg)
...it's a pachislot... it's not plug yet, but the kids are already pushing on all the buttons :lol:
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp25.jpg)
It's a wonderfull King Camel pashislot...
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp29.jpg)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp38.jpg)
Ok, go back to 'work' on the babyfoot...
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp26.jpg)
...while this time, the NO FEAR pinball is adopted by all the kids :
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp27.jpg)
An other game that should be in all Gamerooms : Darts 8)
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp28.jpg)
That gameroom is really huge... but don"t forget the pool to come soon :wink:
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp30.jpg)
Ok, it's time for me to work on the mame computer.
In order to keep all the Soul Edge original parts, I'll configure a computer with an ArcadeVGA graphic card and use a JPAC... so the only thing I have to do on his cab is ...
Disconnet the original jamma pcb and connect the Jpac, like this :
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp31.jpg)
... I'm 'working'....
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp32.jpg)
... like others have some fun on pinbals :lol: :lol:
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp33.jpg)
...this Gamerooms still looks very empty ... for the moment :wink:
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp34.jpg)
OK... the work is done... Mame is now working fine... the Kids will have more games now :roll: :wink:
It's time for me to have some fun :P
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/gameroom/pat/gp35.jpg)

wow!! check out that duplex garage conversion, it's amaaaaaaaaaazing!!!!!!!!!!! check out the double height doors, you probably need a giant to push them open if they were thick and heavy!!
are you sure the winch has a load of 400kg?? it looks very haphazard to me!! looks like it was put together with a bit of wood and some old rope/ belt. :shock: think you did the right thing not to risk death with the pool table.
the conversion is just gorgeous, have i said that already?? i'd be a bit concern with the dart board though mixed with the kids. it's just so open and airy, lovely windows letting in plenty of light, and the feature wall in orange. i know nothing about interior design but i have to admire what your buddy has there.
now where's that worship/ i'm not worthy smiley?!?!

YoP Vib,
Well it should be able to carry a load of 400kg... but ... we won't take a risk with that beautifull pool table... now on location :wink: :arrow:

i'm trying to figure out/ understand the layout of this room?!
when i'm looking at the room i see a doorway at the corner, but the photos you show where you are winching up the machines over the parked cars, the upper floor has exposed brick work.
so am i right in thinking that the games room is off to one side and not directly over the cars?? is the bit over the cars unfurnished?
