jsm7302 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 So we are putting on a family room addition. I'm weighing out what type of game to get for the room. Options: Bubble Hockey Shuffleboard Table Small Ping Pong Table Dartboard (Not interested in air hockey or foosball) Not a ton of space but was hoping to get some feedback from others who may have these games.

siddious Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 If it’s between those choices I go bubble hockey with ping pong as second choice. we got rid of it as it was falling apart already but in my last apartment we had a foosball table which was always a hit when people came over. As soon as my basement is done being renovated i am getting another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirik Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Any thought into possibly a pinball machine? I feel like that stands the test of time a bit better to every different age group. That or they do make arcade machines that play more than one game too but I forgot where you find that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsm7302 Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 I was leaning towards the shuffleboard table due to size but don't want a dust collector so I really appreciate the insight this far. Sounds like a small ping pong table or foosball may be the play. I want it to get used for sure from kids through adults. (Didn't realize the price for bubble hockey) We have a Nintendo switch so I'm not feeling like the arcade game is an option BUT pinball may be a new entry into the convo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphinity 2.0 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I think you have a good set of options, but table tennis/ping pong can take up a lot of space and you said don't have a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found some 6' ping pong tables. Not sure if that will just be the ball flying off the table constantly and not much fun. Tbh I haven't played much ping pong but know it can be a hit with people.

Ozzy Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I like Keith's idea of a pinball machine!! I also think you could get a few cocktail table Pac Man or Miss Pac Man games. Nowadays I think you can get a slew of games as a collection, to play on those cocktail tables, like Defender, Missile Command, and all those old arcade games. Punch out was always a fun one!
