2023 Simple Basement Game Room Tour (Arcade1Up, Lego, Vintage Games, Pokémon)!

Short and Sweet - I've been building up a super simple but tons of fun game room in my unfinished basement over the course of the past year, and it's come together really nicely. I hope this video inspires you with ideas on how to build a cozy game room in an unfinished space! Content includes Lego, Vintage Video Games, Pokémon, and Arcade1Up machines!

Beautiful room you had i think that need some CRT TV it will make your room even nicer ! 👍

I love the idea! Any recommendations on a small but reliable one?

I have a pretty nice game room in my basement I have a Pool Table, Foosball, Dart Board, Air Hockey, Pinball Machine, Big Buck Hunter, Carnival King, Pac Man, Mortal Kombat 2, Rampage, Ninja Turtles, and A Pop a Shot Basketball game lots of friends of mine enjoy coming over to my place

That sounds like an amazing game room! I am really on the fence about an MK cab - I recently picked up their console release, MK1, and totally forgot how much I loved MK games!

I'm highly considering doing something like this in the future when I get more money and open space. I would have full-size arcade games, pinball machines, snack and soda vending machines, neon lights, a bar with cold beer on tap, and tabletop games. I would also include a restaurant booth for taking a gaming time off to enjoy cheese burgers, cheese fries, cheese sticks and bratwurst and a beer.

[@itsyaboishibuya8184]

That would be an absolute dream - I hope you can make it happen! I only had about a 20 x 12 space to make this work, but I am still working on making better use of it. I would LOVE to get a foosball machine and a coin-operated gumball machine to add here. A lofty goal is a claw machine, but I think that's too ambitious and still a dream!

For Arcade1Up, I'm seriously considering getting The Simpsons Arcade Game. I remember playing that at my local Putt-Putt with my dad. Good times. Impressive collection!

[@itsyaboishibuya8184]

I love The Simpsons Arcade Game - so much 4-player nostalgia with it! I would highly encourage you pick it up if you find it for a good deal before they discontinue it. I missed the boat on the X-men Arcade Game and regret not just going in on it!

[@DaRealJohnDaGamer64]

That's a pretty sweet game room, my dude. Your video game collection is truly impressive. I love that you were rocking Power Stone 2 in the background. Such an underrated game. But then again it is a cult classic. Capcom needs to make a sequel to both Power Stone and Rival Schools instead of focusing on Street Fighter. Give it a rest already.

[@itsyaboishibuya8184]

Thank you so much, your comment made my day! Power Stone 2 is one of the best party games of all time - it's so under-rated probably because it's so hard to find. I love Rival Schools - Batsu definitely doesn't get enough street cred for how cool he is!

[@tomyyoung2624]

Yes dream is too

[@marcusthegame1]

Slt , dommage de ne pas avoir fini les murs ou finition avant de tout installer sa gache le côté jolie salle

[@itsyaboishibuya8184]

Bonjour, je suis d'accord ! J'ai dû gérer un budget serré, mais j'espère pouvoir rénover à l'avenir.

[@johnathansmith1003]

I wanna come over and beat you at MVC2

[@itsyaboishibuya8184]

Always welcome!

[@Saraooni]

Hey this looks really cool. Can you show what kind of games are on the 2 arcade machines?

[@itsyaboishibuya8184]

Thank you! I'm really hoping to get some more art pieces and lights to really give it that classic arcade feel. I'd love to review the arcade cabs, video incoming shortly!

[@itsyaboishibuya8184]

Here you are - reviewing my Arcade1Up Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Cab! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3XCnJKppd6Lb6s

[@cruton88]

have you considered drywalling? Ive seen people just hang black cloth to cover the walls too.

[@itsyaboishibuya8184]

I was thinking about dry-walling but I seriously lack the skill to do something like that, but now you've inspired me to watch some DIY videos to see if I can try it! Also - the curtain idea is brilliant, I'm going to see if I can find some cheap black floor length fabric to make this work, thank you!!!

[@CarlitoProducer]

@@itsyaboishibuya8184 I agree with dressing up the walls. It will make a world of difference! Ive used wall tapestry myself.
