I can't wait to buy a house.  My apartment's entertainment area has enough video game stuff that is mostly hidden in this video game console center I have(all enclosed) and underneath the TV behind glass.  I've actually been able to get more than 10 systems hooked up this way!  I've got everything hooked up minus a saturn that is stored until I'm ready to play dragonforce and such.  Can't wait to rock a video game room of my own!!!

what tv are you guys playing on


I have a Hitachi 53SDX20B HD set. It's a 53" 4:3 set that I bought it back in Jan '03 - mostly for games. It has a 540 60p  and two 1080 60i modes - 4:3 and 16:9 true res mode - doesn't trace the beam at the top and bottom of the CRT.

OK here's some low-light pics of my two game rooms (still getting used to the settings on my camera, so sorry for the graininess/bad white balance).

ALSO NOTE THAT THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN ABOUT 5 OR 6 MONTHS AGO AND I HAVE MANY MORE GAMES NOW.

Old school room:


Looking in you can see the general setup and some games.  I also have a Windows server in here that sits on the floor where it belongs.
The right speaker is hidden behind the computer monitor.  It sounds great.



A closer look at the table.  I could use a better setup, I'm sure,
but it works.  Everything except the NES is hooked
up in component video which is "teh awsum".



Might as well show a closeup of the TurboGrafx-16 with CD-ROM.
It's better than a TurboDuo simply because I say so.



Bottom shelf, some Genesis games.



Yet even more Genesis games.



The rest of the Genesis games that are on the bottom shelf.
Looks like Lightening Force is about to fall off!  I'm out of room!



Top shelf, 32X as well as some Japanese Mega Drive games.  Want to know what any of the Japanese games are?  Just ask!



The remainder of the Genesis games on the top shelf.  The last game on the right is the UK version of Splatterhouse 2.



Also on the top shelf is a small cabinet where I store my NES and SNES games and even the fabled Sega Genesis Game Genie!



Along the back wall is a shelf
holding yet even more games.



Top row: Sega CD games.  Bottom: Japanese Saturn games.
Click on the picture for a bigger view if you want to read the titles.



Top: TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine.  Bottom: US Saturn.
Click the picture for a bigger view.



Top and middle: Sega Master System.  Bottom: Neo Geo.
Click the picture for a bigger view.


Current school room:


I have my current-generation stuff hooked up to a Sony KV-34XBR960, one of the sharpest and best HDTVs ever made so far.
Shown here are the front 3 speakers and crap like that.  Not shown in any picture: the awesome subwoofer.
The Xbox, Gamecube, PS2, and Dreamcast are all hooked up via component video and run games in 480p (for the games that support it).
A few Xbox games run in 720p or 1080i or both.  I have recently purchased an Xbox360, but it is not in this picture due to the fact that this
picture was taken in the past rather than the present.  Crazy how that works!



A shot of the surround speakers.  That's right, no
home-theater-in-a-box for me!  To the right you'll see
a shelf which holds DVD movies and video games.



The bottom 3 shelves are dedicated to game crap.
Top: Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube.  Middle: Dreamcast and Nintendo DS.
Bottom: Random junk.  Click the picture for a bigger view.

And that's it!  I hope you enjoyed the tour of my game rooms from 6 months ago.

Joe that is one KICK ASS set up! Where did you get that huge RADICAL After Burner poster!? That is so awesome!

Also I could use some shelves like yours for my Genesis games.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

The After Burner poster came directly from Sega of America during the Master System days.  If you received the old SEGA newsletter, there was a space in the back that allowed you to order such nonsense.  I also ordered a lame Thunder Blade poster which was much smaller.  I'm not sure what happened to it, but I remember it hanging on my wall at some point in time.

That poster is super tight and it looks to be gigantic. I would love to have a big game poster like that. The only game posters I have are those funny Master System posters packed in a gajillion of their games and some rad Genesis/Sega-CD/Game Gear/32x ones packed with some Genesis games.

I don't have pictures yet, but currently I have games setup in 2 rooms.

Living Room:
XBOX (modified)
XBOX 360
Gamecube
I am modifying my NBA Maximum Hangtime cabinet to Golden Tee '99. That's this weekend hopefully.

All hooked through an Onkyo DS TX-989 Receiver that passes component video to my professionally calibrated Mitsubishi 46-inch 46809 CRT Widescreen TV (1080i capable)

Computer/Media Room (I just connected the speakers yesterday):
Sony Wega 32-inch SD TV
Marantz 8400 Receiver
Yamaha 5.1 Speakers

Systems hooked-up:
Dreamcast (Sound into the receiver, 17-inch LCD via VGA Adaptor)
Playstation 2
Vectrex
PSP
Nintendo DS
GBA SP
Neo Geo Pocket Color
MAS Supergun
Sega Saturn
Atari Jaguar w/CD Drive
Tivo Series 1 (Modified)
TurboDuo
Neo Geo AES w/MVS Adaptor
SNES
N64
Sega Genesis w/CD

Gaming PC w/21-inch CRT Monitor.

I hope to get the room cleaned up tonight and get some pictures. I'm still trying to find some games-related posters to hang up, I just don't remember where I put them  :?

These are rather old, from like when I first joined these boards last year. I'll come up with some new ones soon.  


Master System Collection on the floor


Super Famicom system running Rockman and Forte.


The region switch on my Duo-R and in the background you can see my colossal NES collection

Nice set up, Ninja Spirit. I could use a TV stand like yours and I also could use a few shelves to store my games on.

I don't have all of my games organized on shelves yet, but here's some :pretty-close to being done" pics of my gaming room. I don't have any shots from downstairs, where my XBOX, 360, and Gamecube are connected either.

Neo Geo AES w/MVS Adaptor, SNES, N64, TurboDuo, Sega CD



Marantz SR8400 Receiver, MAS Supergun w/SFII Alpha, Sega Saturn, Atari Jaguar w/cd



Dreamcast on a VGA LCD, Gaming PC


Vectrex, Neo Geo Pocket Color, GBA SP, PSP, DS


The room's not clean as you can see, but all of the speakers are hung etc. I may be getting a new 32-inch Hi Def TV next week for this room as well.

This is not all the gaming equipment I have in the house,this is just my bedroom set up just for me. There is a corner of the room stacked with vga monitors and a few more computers and computer cases. I didnt bother taking a pic of it,I would but its far too messy. Maybe I will after I get it sorted out more. What else did not turn up in the pictures is alot of the unopened action figures I have on the bedroom wall,ones of Ghost in the Shells major,Robocop,Dragons Lair ect....if you look close in the poor quality pics of mine you will see a Transformers thermos mug from 1987.Almost 20 years old now,I wish I still had the lunch box too. Th emug would be mint if I had the red cup/lid.On top of the tv is where I keep the pc games currently being played or will be played or quality checked,and I have another area where I keep the rest of them.
