Now we're talking! great design indeed.
On the other hand why does everybody wants to cover the floor of their gameroom with carpets?
I've never been to any real arcade back in the days that had carpets, it's more a casino thing imho.

I agree. And it would be TOTALLY impractical for my gameroom....I still like the looks though !

Bruno, what about a carpet/painted floor like this: looks AWESOME!!!! (And even better if painted with florescent paint!)




After 5 or 15 Beer I can do a paint job like THIS ! ..

Ow that must be really disorienting to walk on. Don't really like it, the effect would be gone with lot's of cabs on it.

Really?  ???

Every arcade that I went to had carpet, The nicer ones had the glowing carpet!   The original Yesterdays game room that I grew up in as a kid was done very simple...  Blue low pile carpeting on floor and 5' up the walls.  ( I guess they did this to avoid damaging the drywall and people leaning against the walls between games waiting their turn.   I guess I really didn't notice the carpet all that much... the glowing screens with amazing games kept my attention!   ;D  ;D  ;D  :ghost:  :spaceace:  :pac:


One other thing you might want to be aware of,  There is more of a dust problem with hard surface flooring.  Also, carpet controls echoing.

But as you do your own gameoom,  Personalization Rules!!  Enjoy!  ;D

Well, I still don't have a precise date. I called him last week and he promised me to do the work before the winter.

Well, it's been 25 days sience any update...
Is the roof there or?? If not, pick another builder, it's resession atm. and if he only can do it "before winther" i'd say he don't wanna do it, or he's to lazy!
