Quite the game room, ozzy.  I enjoyed seeing it go from a blank slate, to a big ol' mess as you first moved in, to the nicely organized current state.

But there's too much nobey.  :P

So the Queen of the kingdom I live in ordered me to a different claim.  The good news is I now have free reign.  Hopefully, continuing evolution will allow me to create a full on "man cave" 

The following is the new setup as of 9/15/15






What kind of shelves are these? I like.

The other taller ones too

My setup is in a constant state of "evolution".

The thing is the lack of space in displaying everything properly.
If I'm at a stage where I can't find the space, then I'm kinda into "project mode" thinking of maybe a room extension or addition.


This is a part of my Ninty collection where I've yet to decide where it will go. So currently it just sits all kind of disorganized.








Another "temporary" setup where I still need to organize everything.









And here are my main gaming room setups:

(excuse the mess on the couch)









That game room started life like this:















This is adjacent to the above room,









This is a small setup where it's more convenient for the kids to mess around,

I like how these shelving units really utilize that corner and have a closed off are at the bottom for bulked items. Where did you get these at?  Also how the shelf part is adjustable and can easily acomodate Oder retro and cd case sized items.

Are you in Europe bloufo?  I'm trying to identify the tall cases in the second from top shelf and the only thing that seems to click are PAL Saturn cases.

Got them locally. Johannesburg.

You're welcome. Guessing from where you're at, it's a lengthy flight time to reach me, though.
No guarantee the on-flight entertainment will be very good to pass the time. :P

You're spot on. Those are indeed PAL Saturn games.

These are all cheap shelves from Walmart.  The taller skinny shelves I think they call a media shelf and are like $30.  The short one with the Sega stuff is just a bookshelf from the same company and is also sold at Walmart.

...time to revive this old thread.

My happy gaming place as it looks at this very moment.



Please... don't mind the alcohol. We were in the middle of a Devil's Crush session, six people trying to beat the highscore.

The HiFi/AV shelf on the right was constructed and built by myself, just so you know. The rest is Ikea stuff.


EDIT: So funny, I just noticed the infrared glow of the Wii sensor bar being visible on the photo.

THE START:

I don't quite have everything in yet, And I got to find a way to mount the PVM, but I at least have the start of stuff moved in.  Still, 4 more consoles and a ton of random games and accessories to move in.

NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

That's what she said.

She wouldn’t talk with her mouth full like that. Not very lady like.
