Yep, my room is roughly twice the space of the average prison cell, but with enough reorganizing and ingenuity, I can turn it into a Room of Doom. I still envy you people who have giant game rooms, but I will eventually get there! Here's my Room of Doom for now:

Lets first go in:

Lets start from the left and go right. Now, multiple shelves are space savers, so I put as many of my games up there. Virtual Boy is on the top and many, many NES games are in those 2 bins:

Now, in these 3 bins are SNES games, Genesis games and assorted accessories. From top to bottom:

My futon, usually full of crap seen here, but I do leave space so someone can sit there.

Some posters, wallscrolls and what not. Those little posters I get from work. Gamestop tosses those out and I put them up around the room:

Some more of the little posters and a couple of shelves where I keep knick knacks on. Note the bowling pins. I can bowl in the street!

My wall for my bowling stuff. Yea, I know, no game stuff, but I have to keep it out of one wall. This is a bedroom after all.

My futon/bed. Also, my laptop I got today!

TV and Computer:

These are the systems I have currently hooked up. I switch the Gamecube and the SNES out for each other often.

Futons have one huge advantage, SPACE UNDER THE BED! From left to right: Dvds, Dvds, more dvds, Turbografx system in PS1 bag.

More boxes! From left to right: Bin with accessories that I use often (controllers, etc), Xbox and GC games, and in the right box are GBA, GBC, GB games and my GBA SP bag.

I keep some of my boxes up in the closet. With other stuff.

More crap. LOL

As you can see, with a bit of work, a bit of ingenuity and a bit of elbow grease, any place can be a Room of Doom. Maybe not up to the calibur that some of you have, but good enough in the mean time.

Bah. You have a palace. Try working with *20* square feet.

But I like what you've done thus far! :D

That's quite good for just a corner. I give you a Pepsi for your corner of doom!

It's quite nice.

Edit: Forgot to mention that my room hides:

439 games and 11 gaming systems.

I wish I could hook up them all.

hehe I got all my games sorted in my space, all my games are nice and tidy, it's all the other crap that takes up all the room and makes a mess such as clothes for example. :(

Nice room. Looks cosy. You're surrounded by what you love. Sounds good to me :)

Awesome use of space! Work with what you've got!

Be sure to add your pictures to the Beyond Room of Doom Gallery. That way they'll be preserved for all time.

Hey it's like they say, it's not the size, but how you use it LOL

Like me, I got all my stuff crammed into two 7x10 foot rooms.

ya 130 sqft isn't exactly the smallest of rooms :) I just happen to be spoiled with my 12*25 room that doubles as my office.

Only problem I have with my room that I like with yours is I don't have ROOM on the walls for any posters/etc... My bookcases/storage thingys go floor to ceiling, especially when I have all of the system boxes lined up along the top everywhere...

Where's the porn at? LOL Nice room there. What would help would be shelfs hung up around the room. I have a small room to, so trust me they come in handy when making a game room.
