Damn that's a very solid collection of machine, a fine setup!
Gotta say I wouldn't mind a mame/arcade machine myself but dunno where to put it in the apartment.
See you've got a 36" Sony Trinitron too. They certainly give a great picture if you find a good specimen, especially with some tweaking, I dare say they even rival some modern flatscreen sets! I tried out the 32" model but neither of the two sets I dragged home had acceptable geometry, so I ended up with a simpler JVC set which was great for old rigs though.
Those 36"-ers weigh about 100kg so a total pain in the *** to move, I know since my old neighbour had one and while I gladly help out I didn't expect that beast to be so challenging.

Thanks guys! Yeah, I love the 36" Sony Trinitron. The fact that I got it for free from my friend who bought it new is really nice as well! The MAME cabinet has a 27" Wells Gardner Flat Screen that I picked up from the X-Arcade store before they were discontinued. Talk about a beast! I mounted it in my arcade cabinet with the help of two people and it was still a nightmare. I'll never do that again!
I can't wait to see some of your game rooms.

Perhaps not as impressive as yours, but mine's here:

(I need to put up a new picture of my desk though, it looks a lot tidier at the moment with an A500, A3000 and A1200 all set up and working next to eachother)

Yep! That's a very nice setup. I bought that Star Trek: A Final Unity game when it first came out! I still have everything that came with the game, including the digital 'Worf' pin, but I threw out the plastic box and the cardboard box some time ago. That was before I was collecting so I didn't see a need to keep it.

I'm working on cleaning that room up and will post pictures once I've got it done.Heather

One advantage to being single. I don't have to answer to anyone.Lol computer room and separate gaming room

Of course, I need to put some limitations on myself so I don't have retro gear all over the house. Everything has its place, usually away from the main living areas.Heather
