XYXZYZ' new and improved gameroom! Cool new toy added!

[XYXZYZ]

My page in the Room of Doom galleries was way overdue for an update, and I finally did that today. XYXZYZ' Room of Doom (http://www.videogamecollectors.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=36188&g2_navId=x3057c58a)

I'll just show some of the highlights here.

First, the console setup- it hasn't actually changed much. It's been rearranged, more compact and has less figures and posters and other junk. I actually put the Kasumi scroll there because I didn't want a plain black field in the background, and it was dark/blue and a lot cooler looking than the Zelda scroll I was considering. The consoles on the side are PC Engine DUO, Sega Master System and Sega Genesis/CD.

Still have the tate TV (Dreamcast running Ikaruga there) though I don't use it quite as much. (You see why when you scroll down) The joysticks are the domestic Hori Tekken 5 arcade joysticks, with cosmetic modifications. But the one on the right, I replaced the board with one from a cheap Pelican joystick with more features like autofire and digital/analog mode select. You can see the switches there... Oh, and ROB is employed! He holds the remote for the TV, and a tin of delicious Nintendo mints. Which I've had for about a year. They were delicious a year ago anyway.

Here's some interesting junk, a Famicom/FDS and Super Famicom display with original boxed Super Mario Bros, Zelda and Zelda II games. Sort of a museum piece that fascinates the casual gamers. There's stacks of early 90s EGMs on the bottom shelf, and the CDs on the right are my PC Engine, Saturn etc. imports.

So that's great for console gaming, but what if you want arcade gaming? When you turn to the right...

These are all multigame arcade machines- a Neo Geo and three MAME machines I've posted about in the past, as I finished each one. We have a Neo Geo MVS with original hardware, "DANMAKU", a MAME machine for vertical shooters, "Warp Zone", a general purpose MAME machine, and the Capcom Coin-Op Classics Collection machine, with MAME and Xbox Capcom games running on a modded Xbox. They're a hell of a lot nicer than that little white Proplay cabinet I had, anyone here remember that? I think it's quite a well rounded setup considering I only have one corner of a little apartment room to work with.

:onfire:And here's the big update to the game room, the awesome new toy...
http://www.videogamecollectors.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=51808&g2_serialNumber=1
And EPSON POWERLITE 720 HOME THEATER PROJECTOR! 1600 ANSI Lumens with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio! And don't you want to see what's on the other side?

http://www.videogamecollectors.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=51841&g2_serialNumber=2
A 92 inch matte white, 1:1 gain screen with retractable curtains for widescreen or 4:3 applications! It's great for movies or gaming. And speaking of gaming, now let's have some fun with it...

Part 2...

Street Fighter III on the movie screen. The picture looks a lot better with the lights off, I left them on to show the scale of the screen. That's a 27" TV underneath, with the Hori joysticks in the foreground. I'm all set for Street Fighter IV!

The projector can display the image in a variety of ways, and it's important to note that using anamorphic stretching technology, Chun Li's thighs are 25% W I D E R.

I've always wanted to watch Ninja Gaiden's cinema scenes in a cinema environment... :popcorn:



http://www.videogamecollectors.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=51848&g2_serialNumber=1
And here's Soul Calibur II. Don't have IV yet.



One last shot...

Okay, I'm done showing off now.:D

[maxlords]

I love that Bubblegum Crisis poster....

[Mianrtcv]

I hate you.

[dao2]

very very VERY nice

[PixelSmasher]

I have to say, you did a fantastic job. The room is very clean and uncluttered looking, even though it contains a lot of stuff. A lot of Room of Dooms look like someone's storage closet. This looks like a room that's meant to be used, with nothing obstructing access.

Also, wow. Chun Li's gotten a lot hotter than I remember.

[Icarus Moonsight]

That just tears it! I'm getting a projector. LOL

Nice set up. :) You've managed to pull off what I have been toiling over for some time... and, it's organized and neat! I r made of der envy and worth 2k tate-mode jealousies. :rocker:

Chun-Li has always been the hotness in the nerd heart. :D Psylocke on Children of the Atom is a very close second. They don't build women like that anymore. They put the emphasis and the hugeness almost exclusively in the chest these days. LOL

[Wraith Storm]

I love that Bubblegum Crisis poster....

I have the same BGC promotion poster. It is cool indeed! However, it's the Gall Force poster that I am jealous of!

So tell me XYXZYZ, are you a fan of Kenichi Sonoda's character designs or is it just coincidence?

Oh! Your room rocks by the way...

[Dark_Sol]

Neat room. W0000000000t!

[lanemeyer]

Awesome! Loved the shot of the vertical TV with Ikaruga on it. Only thing that room needs is a mini-fridge. :)

[Drag0nsfyre]

Very cool set up! :D :cool:
loving the kasumi scroll too. or is that one of the DOA beach towels? Me wants one :D

[VACRMH]

I think the thing that interests me the most is that Iczer 1 Poster. Very nice :D

[XYXZYZ]

Thanks for the compliments, guys.


Only thing that room needs is a mini-fridge. :)

Yeah, for storing the Xbox 360.


They don't build women like that anymore.
:cheers:

[jedimind7]

Very impressive.

[BenG76]

Wow, nice room.

[tom]

nice room, and you found a useful function for R.O.B., that is great

[RJ]

Good God. Thumbs up doesnt BEGIN to say it.

[GreatBazunka]

I like. This is what i aspire to. My collection is growing but until i get more room i can't fit a ton more. For now i must work on games only. As for your setup, i love the projector and tv setup. Great idea. and everything it so organized.

[dao2]

lovin the space ace poster btw ;p
