Very nice. Just let the games themselves illuminate the room.

Nice arcade!  Been debating converting my garage for a while now too.

That is a good question. Before free play probably.

Slowly re-doing the garage into better game room.
As of right now iam cleaning it out, putting new sealing on garage door and insulation on the garage door.
Already got dehumidifier going but i got run vents for a/c.

Anything else anyone can think of to get a nice temp in garage?

Check the attic space above the ceiling (if you have acces) for insulation. You want at least R-30.  Most of the old houses around have no insulation above the garage.  It will make a huge difference in reducing heat gain.
If it fits in your budget, intstall a mini split. It will eliminate the need for a dehumidifier and keep the space at the perfect temp.

Nice.  I have thought about doing up my garage into an arcade every now and then.  But like k7, mine is filled with car parts and I do a lot of automotive stuff in mine.  It wouldn't work out.  :(

One of these days I'll have to swing by your place and check it out.  You are really close to where I live.

I have seen those mini split ac and they work great. But the thing is my air handler is in my garage. So i have really easy access to it.
 Insulation in the ceiling is good cause i have a bedroom right above the garage.

I just had buddy come by and buy up alot my car parts and motorcycle parts. Slowly letting things go.

When I was renting, I converted a 2 car garage to a theater/ game room.   If your air handler is in the garage, all you need to do is cut a vent in it up above the fan.   I'd suggest putting a vent in it that you can truly close though.

Great space!
