Updated the "Ultimate Game Room" page this weekend, it's chock full of new photos, including three Argentinian collectors (who'da thunk it?). If you're into this sort of thing, you'll want to check these out!

Very cool, but I think there's a little link problem on the sixth page.

Oh yeah? Do you think you could be more specific so that I might fix it? Whatever it is, I can't find it... seems to be fine to me. Anyone else?

click previous on the first page and it takes you to page 5.. click forward at page 5 and it does nothing. or something like that :D

digitalpress

Um, no.

Maybe you need to refresh your browser, the links are all working just fine.

No. He's right. The link to page 6 IS broken. Instead of a web link, it links to file:///C:/dp web/gameroom/index6.htm for the next gameroom link on page 5.

the problem is: on index5.htm, the link to next page is "file:///C:/dp%20web/gameroom/index6.htm" (a link to your loacl hard drive)

EDIT: ventrra beat me to the punch

Ah! I see - at the bottom of the page! Curious.

Well it should be OK now. Thanks all for the help! And remember when you find broken stuff to be specific. I've said it a thousand times: "I'M NOT THAT BRIGHT". :-D

Added a ton of pictures to the ultimate game room pages (http://www.digitpress.com/gameroom/) today.

More specifically, two collectors with MASSIVE collections, a full page of photos from each. One is from our forum member Fred "fcw" Wagaman and the other from a friend who just wants to be known as "nesvidiot" (his eBay handle).

Curious, why is Joseph Early's collection always at the bottom of that page?

???

If I understand the question correctly, the answer is: because as new entries come in, they're added to the top.

Or am I missing something here?

It's THAT time again!

I'd really like to call your attention to John Greve's room. Though I've met John several times I haven't had the pleasure of visiting his Room of Doom, which is unlike most others on this page. Couches, bar... tons of coin-ops!

We've got 90 collectors' pics online now. Check out the most current ones right here:

It's Awesome..

Too bad my Brother in Law won't join or take pics/or let me take pics of his Big basement Console Arcade Game Room...

He buys/restores/keeps/sells Arcade machines/Pinballs etc.

He's a pretty big line of Machines..but he's hard ass a rock when it comes to giving a break on things.

I figured I could get a good deal on a machine,not happening.. x_x

Rezrovs' Virtual Boy collection is SICK! I love how you can't see any furniture or anything. Just VB stuff. It's like he has an entire room dedicated to his collection. I love it!

(Rez, do you have any VB stuff for sale/trade? I'd do ANYTHING for that Virtual Bowling you've got!)

Great new pictures, impressive collections! The game room pics are one of my favorite features of game websites.

Looking at the pics, I can only say HOLY COW.

We now have 99 game rooms featured on the Room of Doom pages!

Who's gonna be number ONE HUNDRED?!

*clears throat*

I SAID... WHO'S GONNA BE NUMBER ONE HUNDRED!

It's a "2003 Goal". C'mon, someone's got some pictures they haven't submitted or haven't quite gotten around to taking it. Get around to it, let's make this happen.

Rah Rah!

Well I sure wish it was me, but my game room is in no condition for being photographed right now. Everything is in boxes, and not setup for display. But eventually, I will send in several photos of everything that I have now. Probably the most complete Genesis games that you'll ever see outside of a museum, and that's just for starters. Lots of great stuff in all these boxes...

Would be cool to get a coffee table book full of full page/ full color pics of this stuff.

I'm almost at the point where my first gameroom will be finished. I just have to paint and then put up some shelves. But there's been a little delay so I won't have it done for a week or two. I'm still excited though. :D

The Room of Doom pages have become so popular that we had to create a new domain for them!

http://www.videogamecollectors.com

Over 120 collectors' game rooms featured, over 500 photos in all. If you've been collecting and haven't sent us your pictures, the time is now - large and small collections accepted 24/7!

Game ON, collectors.

Need a hand there?

By the way Joe, there was another page that had ROD's and under each name, they had facts about the collections. Such as "NES, Famicom, ect"

Ever think about adding that?

...no :(

My room of DOOM would essentially look like a corner of warehouse...if somebody was to enter looking for something they most likely wouldn't ever come out lol

I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean on an imitator's site? Can you point me to it?

Thought I'd post this little update for all.

Since the start of this year we moved to a user-based "Room of Doom" system where you can upload your own photos, add captions, allow others to comment, etc. Since you can update your own photos it saved me loads of time with maintenance of that area. I gave it six months just to be sure it was stable and good enough to replace my old manual system. That test passed with flying colors.

So, the Room of Doom page has changed slightly. The gallery is now the main page. If you have photos in the "old" system they're still out there (accessible via the page's entry point) so you can download 'em and then add them to the new system for ease of future use.

http://www.videogamecollectors.com

I LOVE these pages and really like what you folks have done with your personal galleries. To you and everyone who's just looking... enjoy!
