My Classic Gaming Room

[manic23]

I was talking with fitzsteve the other day and he mentioned that I have not shared my retro room or any pics of my collectables here, so I thought I'd post a few images of my man cave! I have a few other bit not pictured, A Japanese Virtual Boy and PSone with LCD screen, but most of it is all here.

The main corner of the room with my A1200, DOS/Windows98 PC and (hidden from view) N64 and SNES. The black table to the left is where my A4000 is going to sit once I have it back from being recapped.



Close up of the desk.



My lovely Vectrex, fully recapped together with a 72-in-1 multi-cart.



My Big Box PC game shelf, I love the big boxed PC games (and Amiga of course).



And last but not least my 'stuff' shelf where I store my collectables that I don't have the space to keep permanently set-up. There are a few systmes here that are hidden from view (see how many systems you can spot!).

Very nice indeed.

I can't wait to get everything in my collection unpacked and back in use.. currently packed up and stored at my parents whilst selling my house to make it look tidy!

Thanks Harrison, but you may get a viewer that is interested in classic gaming so having your retro stuff there would help sell the house :laugh:

Very nice indeed.

Geez that puts my collection to shame!

Thanks for sharing the pics, very nice indeed and almost too tidy

 

[manic23]

Thanks guys, but your collection is just as good Steve, you have a great setup and I love the projector. Oooh that reminds me I need to PM you johnim to ask you about the projector you got recently.

Amazing Collections there and having Shelf on wall does help keep things tidy...Maybe I should get some Shelfs

Nice setup you've got there mate, thanks for sharing

this post reminded me that i have not shared any pics of my collection here and i've been a member for over a year now :O

plan to catalog the collection during the december holidays, mainly for insurance purposes, but i'll surely share some prOn here Shame i don't have an apartment big enough to house a dedicated game room! I need to move

I catalog all my stuff too, I use a Mac and use Delicious Library to catalog my collections, works pretty well, not sure what options there are for PC users.

 

[soeter04]

Which of my macs should i use? Choices choices

 

[manic23]

Do you have classic macs?

 

[soeter04]

Collected quite a few over the past year: 512k, Plus, SE-30, Classic, Colour Classic and a Powerbook 230

Seriously though, i usually catalog my stuff in a text file, and some folders with pics. Will have a look at the software you mentioned, never heard of it before.

Very nice and tidy! Love looking at other peoples game rooms for inspiration and just plain coolness

 

[DonAmiga]

Great stuff and tidy

Lol what's missing DerekP?

Slightly adjust the grammar and you'd have it -

"what's missing: DerekP"

:mrgreen:
