How big a room do you need for a pool table?

Just curious what the ideal size would be for a room with a pool table in it to ensure there's enough room on all sides.

Any sized room: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7enkHIEkKZ8

Honestly though, if I ever happen to own an actual house with a basement, it will definitely contain a pool table, a Street Fighter 2 arcade game, and most likely a Whitewater Pinball machine.

What size pool table?

I'm pretty sure it's an 8 foot table. My friend's brother is trying to get rid of one before he moves... just trying to decide if I'm gonna have room for it... doesn't sound like it though. Spare room is 14x10. Even if it's a 7 foot table it doesn't sound like that's a big enough room based on the link above.

TMNT > Street Fighter 2

You back on the sauce? :hmm:

Do we get to make drunk jokes forever with you? :hmm:

Just messin' :awe: but you are obviously crazy if you think TMNT is better than SF2.

Yeah, no kidding. Considering the number of drunks on this board, it should be a requirement.

yeah, 14x10 would be sad. figure a bare minimum of '5 on all sides of the bumpers.

I have to agree with him on this one, but I didn't get into SF2 nearly as much as some people.
I would have to do a MAME cabinet to be happy :p

I do love some G&G, but I preferred it on the Genesis.
