Thanks for the positive comments everyone. My favorite part is all the lighting too, kind of cool how cheap it was to do it all. LED stuff is so cheap if you find the right products. Makes it fun because you can completely change the color of the room anytime!

dsheinem, Congo pinball is a very nice underrated game. Its no Theater of Magic or Indy, but really fun. Its got a really good playfield with really fun features and ramps. There isn't really any "wizard" type of scoring tricks on the game, basically play a solid game and hit all the goals and you score well. That makes it a really fun game to get better and better at, but beginners can play ok their first time. Oh, and I got it and 2 arcade games for $500 :)

awesome rooms! I really like the "big blue" capcom arcade and pinball machine!

Very nice! I'm very jealous of your Q-Sound and your MVS unit. I want them sooo bad. LOL.

What does your wife think of all of this? When I even mention a stand up arcade unit in the house, my wife goes berzerk.

The lady is cool with my collection. When we met I was traveling to participate in fighting game tournaments back in 2002 when the scene was dead, so she knew what she was getting into :) Luckily my game room is only on the lower level of the house. The real "front room" and upper level of our home looks "normal" and she has almost all the space up there. She is the master of Congo too, she got 2 billion plus points one time. Badass.

reminds me of my wife. To this day, I still cannot beat her at MvsC2.

We went into an arcade in Vegas once, and she schooled all of the kids there. It was hilarious. She isn't a gamer at all, but she has some sort of weird "pinball wizard" gift for MvsC2. I can't explain it. LOL.

I've got to say, this is definitely one of the nicest gaming rooms I have seen posted.

I hope I can have something similar later on.

I love your IKEA furniture, along with everything in your collection. I'm glad you're a fellow Sega fan!

Also, POANG chairs are soooo comfortable! :)

That lighting is just amazing. Great collection too.
