My teensy little Room of Doom!

[downfall]

Well, I finally got everything cleaned and where it belongs, so I figured I'd shoot off a few pictures and post them. It's small, but it's my efforts over the whole 7 or so months that I've been collecting. Anyway, here goes:

Standing in the hallway looking into the room o' doom. Best shot I can get looking into the room.

Left hand side of the game wall. Contra poster is on the closet door, which is full of stuff that I need to get rid of that has absolutely nothing to do with video games. Bookshelf.. top two shelves get my latest displays and things. I switch 'em out whenever I get something new.

Next shelf is Gamecube and PS2 games. And my lone PS1 game, Symphony of the Night.

Bottom two shelves are Magazines, books, posters, etc. That's going to have to expand sometime though, because they're about full.

Consoles and monitor. I love having the Commodore monitor ($3.00 at goodwill :D )to just plug and play whatever I want (except my Genesis and Intv, but they don't get nearly as much play as everything else) If I want to play something else, I just take it in the living room and put it on the big tv. That's where the PS2 and Gamecube are missing at in this photo. They sit on the top shelf. Under the bottom of the thing are controllers, plugs, cords, and other accessories. Pretty packed under there.

Top of the other bookshelf. Top two shelves are packed full of boxes, board games, and more boxes. Also have my little memorabilia collection on the shelf too since the boxes generally just stay in there. Notice my lone import - Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 for N64 about halfway down on the left. White box. Mostly just SNES and N64 boxes, with a few NES mixed about.

Next two shelves. Bulk of my games. N64, SNES, and Intellivision all across the back of the shelf. In front are Genesis, and a few other Intv games (couple of sealed ones), along with my Boxed NES Star Wars. Mostly my latest finds in the front. Also a few Gameboy and GBA games laying there as well. Next shelf is most of the NES stuff. Also have full sets of Zap Pax and the Topps Nintendo sticker cards there. Haven't gotten them into a binder yet.

Rest of the NES stuff, and then a bunch of spare systems and parts. Also have checklists in those binders on the right.

Pretty simple, and pretty small. I didn't take pictures of the other side of the room, although it has my PC and all that fun stuff, along with my XM, and my tradebait file cabinet. I don't have a lot of space to begin with, so it's nice having a moderately small collection anyway, but I'm still working on it. Gotta start somewhere!

thats a great start! I have been collecting for about 8 months and have more of some stuff that you have less of, but you have way mnore magazines, and more of some other stuff then me....plus you have a nes box :P . Where do you get most of your stuff from?

[digitalpress]

Very nice! I love rooms that have that mix of classic and current stuff. It has that timeless "gamestream" aura about it. Well done!

Permission to use these on the official game room site http://www.videogamecollectors.com ?

[downfall]

digitalpress: Sure thing, use whichever ones you feel are best!

charitycasegreg: I've picked up a lot of it from flea markets, pawn shops, and thrift stores. If I see something, I'll usually pick it up if the price is right. I've also gotten a lot of stellar deals off ebay.. some of those right place/right time kinda things. And I did have a lot of these things from when I was growing up (where some of the magazines came from.. Game Players and NP subscriber for many years.), but I would say that it's at least doubled in the last 7 months since I've actually started collecting. Before, I wasn't really so much of a collector as I was just someone that didn't throw anything away. I do what I can though with the minimal amount of extra money I have to spend on things haha.

Love that $3 Commie monitor, someone gave me an Amiga 1080 and I'm trying to run all my systems through it these days :)

Here's a Goodwill tip, you can pick up a $5 old VCR and run your Genny, INTV, and all your RF consoles through the VCR and then out to the 1702. Always fun to play the 2600 and O2 through a monitor 8-)

That room is awsome. I dont know why but I really liek how you laid it out. I see you ar ea Mario Fan also. 8-)

Sorry, not showing for me.

Ack, that's great...everybody uses up your bandwidth but doesn't bother to post! World's gone to pot I tell you.

However Joe saved the day and posted the pictures! Yay!

Is that Legend of Zelda blanket (?) acting as your drapes? I don't think so but if that's the case I'd be worried about fading.

I'd rate that room...

...

A+! Of course. The Commodore monitor and the Action Set box stand out in my eyes, and so does the original Pac-Man board game. Toaster looks a bit yellowed but the SNES is sharp looking :)

One last question - that import you mentioned, it's your only import? What about the game made you import it? Very interested to find out (not with any bias for or against the game of course, I'm not sure what it is besides a wrestling game)!

I can't see the images because your Bandwidth is gone. Why not use Yahoo! too?

For that matter, you'd think DP would allow image uploading with all the "My Room!" threads that show up.

I love looking at pictures of this stuff. But how long do I have to wait before MyImgs lets me see it?

Not very long if you click on the "Room Of Doom" page link in the post above yours! :)

Pictures!

[Aussie2B]

Very neatly organized. *thumbs up* :) I wish I could see the other photos, though. :(

[Jasoco]

The Action Set was my first NES set. I wish I still had that box. Instead now I have a Deluxe Set box on my shelf.

I also wish we hadn't thrown out our SNES and N64 boxes.

[KirbyStar27]

Very nice for a start :)

[VACRMH]

Very Nice! Having a ton of games is one thing, but displaying it how you and others do is even better :)

I can't wait untill i'm finished getting everything in place to take my room of doom pictures :)

[NintendoMan]

Very cool setup!

Mario is #1!!!!!!!!

8-)
