Game Room Coming Along Using Interlocking Garage Floor Pad

Garage Floor Pads used to create a game room with interlocking garage floor pad tiles.

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been working on my “Game Room”–essentially a closed space in the garage that will host my MAME cabinet, pinball machine, and gaming PC, along with a treadmill for exercising. Most of the work is done and I’ve moved all the gear in.

It’s a small space, just 10×12′ but it’s plenty big enough for what’s in there. I’ve painted the walls and put down some interlocking floor pads to make the concrete easier to stand on. I’ve also hung some of my medieval themed paintings: The Accolade and Godspeed for the moment.

Still left to finish: install A/C (this will mean cutting an opening in one wall), run new wires from the garage sub-panel for a new circuit, add a plug for the machines (and another plug for tools) and then close up the rest of the drywall. Right now there’s a fluorescent fixture for light (too glaring in off the pinball glass an MAME screen) that I need to replace.

Once that’s done, let the games begin!
