Don't feel bad. Never works for me either. This is an awesome project, I've seen it before. The Matrix JM re-theme is also another one to check out.

Sounds like a lot of work when you write it all out like that :D My arms are still bruised, but my basement is full of keepers. Small price.

There's a couple here that look like they'll clean up nicely. The Xenon and Space Shuttle don't look too bad. Solar Fire is a cool playfield too. I also see Mata Hari and Close Encounters but can't figure out a couple of the others.

Ill be covering it. Still debating on a low pile carpet or some durable vinyl (faux wood) rolled product. The vinyl will be easier to clean and less of a problem in the event of any flooding. Decisions decisions.

And finally, With so many renos giong on all over the house and packing boxes everywhere, my recent haul of games from la belle provence had to go somewhere. It looks like I'll be laying the flooring half a room at a time :) Huge thanks to Scott (WARLOCK) for going above and beyond on this...

Sort of a terrible shot, but we have a ceiling! The walls will be a bit of a surprise, so I'll reveal those once they're done. One other neat update. My subfloor came in. This is a super low profile 1/2" all plastic floor tile that can be used as-is, or as a subfloor for carpeting and any...

Awesome! Looks like I'm getting the orange LE version ;)

With so many ON buyers falling out near the last minute, this run could not have been possible without Scott's help. Also, a summer trip to St. Georges de Beauce and a chance to finally meet Gerard were good incentives to take care of this one personally. We left with a great haul of games...

We could tell you Todd... but we'd have to tie you to a cactus and leave ya fer dead ;) Thanks Gerard! Can't wait

Funny enough, I got them to quote doing my basement and the garage shop area (once I get it framed). It's definitley more expensive, but when I factor in my materials cost on the roxul, the extra time to do the vapor barrier and all that mess... not to mention the invariably imperfect job that...

One more big step for the basement... insulation! I know, I know... not very exciting stuff. But, this is my first time using the spray foam and it is seriously cool. I let the guys in this morning; went to work. Came back a couple of hours later at lunch and this is what I found. Too bad I...

Here's what I do. I specify to Gerard which game I am intersted. For example, images 115 to 123 on the April link. He verifies that this one is available and I can buy it. I make sure to download the photos to my hard drive and, if sending a driver to get the games, I provide him with the pics...

I'm clearing some space Gerard :D

We didn't discuss models yet, but yes, I get good pricing. He said $2200-$2500 depending on the quality of the unit, but he said He could install a decent one for $2K due to the other business I'm throwing his way. Plus there is HST of course :( I expect to have him back in 3-4 weeks once I...

Just a quick update. We were hoping to be able to grab these games this weekend, but customs was not so quick. We have a tentative plan to pick up the games next Friday. I will advise regarding a meeting spot and time once I have more details.

That's fantastic! We're in the middle of a major reno and, in addition to my downstairs gameroom, I also want to convert my garage into a pin restoration workshop and a space for a few overflow games. We just replaced our 30year old furnace and AC yesterday. I asked the contrcator about...

I agree that EMs are certainly more focused on score, but even they usually have a goal to shoot for. Some achievement the designers built in as a challenge beyond mere points. Looking at some of mine for example. In Centigrade 37 the goal is to advance the theometer in order to light up the...

I rarely play a game for points. The real challenge for me is playing "through" the game and seeing everything it has to offer. Essentially, playing it the way the designer intended, and not just trying to manipulate it for a better score. Modes and achievements are where it's at. I'm not...

My last visit earlier this year re-ignited my boyhood love of Banzai Run! At least until the game started swallowing up balls and coins :( I always end up spending hours in the EM aisles. Just wish Tim would jack them up an inch or two. They all play soooo slow.

Agreed. The orange is killer
