This room is by NO MEANS complete, which is why I haven't made a section for it and call it a "room of doom". I have some good stuff, but it's not all organized the way I want it. I was interested in hearing ideas, and getting some feedback.

MK1 cabinet converted to MK2. Plus an Xbox demo display unit. Cool, huh?

Picture is my DOOM PC (patent pending)... turn it on, it boots to the DOOM selection screen. Also pictured is my Apple II GS. (awesome computer)

Pictured is my TRS-80 Model II, and my Franklin 2000 computer. Both have horrible arcade ports on them, but are fun to program your own text adventures on. (TRS-80 especially)

Pictured is the HD-TV with my 360 displayed, and my aux. tv with Sonic CD on. (one of my favorite games)

Pictured is my retro gaming corner. (Not picture is the awesome AK Rocker chairs) (Most) of my systems are there. Intellivision, Atari 2600, NES, Master System, Genesis, SNES, N64, PSone, Dreamcast, and PS2. (Yes, I said PS2)

That's about the long and short of it. Not pictured are my loose carts, and my recent generation collection, which is pretty big. What do you guys think? Also, keep in mind if you didn't notice in the pics I also collect Star Wars action figures, so its two hobbies in one room. Feedback?

I really like all the star wars stuff so a thumbs up from me! The room looks sharp. Any time frame for when it will be finished? It looks really good already. I'd like to see morwe pics when you change it/finish it

I love those classic computers, man. How big is the room? Can you take a wide shot of everything?

It is certainly one of the more well organized rooms I've seen (in general, not just the site).

I'm in love with all the star wars memorabilia.

Looking awesome so far! I love all those old computers you have set up. The DOOM PC is neat too. I'll always have a soft spot for The Ultimate Doom since it's the first PC game I ever bought. Keep building that room up! :)

Nice and crowded with a lot of good stuff. The way the best ones should be. ;)

I'm usually not a fan of the "clutter bomb" type gamerooms, but this one... this one I like. Lots of different things, but it works. Cool.

Good to see the classic PC side of the hobby; does not seem to appear very much anymore.

Great room...

Unlike my 'clutter bomb'.

Awesome Flash Gordon pinball!.....How much did you pay for it..

Right now I'm crazy about Pinball Machines...

I never reallly liked pinball, but a single pinball machine is essential for all gaming rooms (maybe in my next home). Flash Gordon was a great movie (if your a sci-fi dork like myself) and adds to the sci-fi game room theme...

Is that a Rancor? a fairly valuable Star Wars piece that is also cool.

The obvious, an mostly telling bit of observation is the abundance of Star Wars and absence of Star Trek...the two schools of sci-fi. You can sterotype all sci-fi folks by there category (or those few that are amibdextrous scifiers).

Later,
