What to put in my gameroom?

[dinot...@gmail.com]

Hey all,
I have been re-doing my game room. I went from 5 pinball machines down to 3. (Sold Monster Bash and Medieval Madness...:-( )
So I am looking to put something in the place of those 2 pins. I am not interested in growing my pin collection back up. (Currently have a Spiderman, Iron Man and Theatre of Magic)
I also have a claw machine, a sit-down racing cabinet, an upright Mame cabinet, pay phone, 3 slot machines (2 Ballys and 1 IGT..yes I know that they are not actually arcade related, but the way my gameroom is they work great because they take up very little room)
Outside of my gameroom I have a Lighthouse, Gravity Hill, Megatouch, Super Chexx and cocktail Mame. Whew!
I am considering moving the Lighthouse and Gravity Hill into the gameroom but I am not convinced.

So after that long winded foreward......any thoughts on what I can put in my arcade? I am looking for "low budget"....around $500. I don't know what is popular and what kids may play. I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old. Because of their compact size, I am considering a hammer redemption machine. (Video, not mechanical). Whenever I have a party, the claw machine is the most played. The adults will play slots and Mame. The pins get played too, but usually, I will find them sitting there at a 4 player game doing nothing. (Younger kids hitting the start button multiple times)


Any ideas would be appreciated.
