![]() Spending $500 on something that loses group interest would annoy me because I'd be slow to get rid of it. * Also, maybe a jukebox? Too kitsch/retro? Other stuff like this? Not sure a standup arcade machine would be much different. But we have lots of old Nintendos and such around the house - interest in them mostly fades. * Arcade machine - Probably some kind of multi-play. ![]() Also, pinball is a one person at a time game - most other options allow more simultaneous players. * Vintage pinball - Neat, but the games are maybe not so complex. Could also do one of those dart machines that uses non sharp darts. Basement ceiling is a bit low though ~6'10 or 7'. ![]() One of the easiest/cheapest to buy/set up, and not hard or painful to get rid of, if need be. * Darts - could do real darts - I guess I wouldn't freak out if our wall got banged up. But loses interest a bit too quick, maybe? * Table shuffleboard - have occasionally dabbled with. * Foosball - kinda fun, haven't played much since college maybe? Not sure it would hold interest longer term. * Air hockey - have played some, but seems kinda luck based/random. * Pool - have played a fair amount over my life, but liked table tennis better.

My kids are 22, 20, 16, so maybe if we wanted this we should have done it a few years ago. We have a finished basement (~85% of it anyways), where a big chunk of space just opened up (about 18' x 9.5', though it can't be filled - needs to allow pass-through). I'm more interested in other options, so, new thread.
