Here is my game room and my living room. I'm just getting into console gaming after being a PC only gamer for a long time. I don't have many good games yet but I'm working on it. Let me know what you guys think.
A small collection, but some really good hardware to start out with.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad.

Nice! Looks like you have plenty of great machines, so go crazy getting dirt cheap, great, old games.
I'm about to get an HDTV and will have to do the same thing you've done here and separate my new stuff and old stuff with a new and old (tube) TV. That's kind of depressing, but there's no way around it.

I tested my Genesis on my LCD and it looked ok. Is there a big reason why old consoles won't work on new TV's?

They work.They just look considerably better on tube set TV's.

Yeah, it's not that they don't work, it's just that they look absolutely terrible. I wouldn't want to play any pre-32 bit games on a high def tv from what I've seen so far.

Well if you plan on doing any light gun collecting (which I suggest you do), you'll need to run them on a tube. And frankly, I don't even like using my PS2/Xbox on an HDTV. Funny as it sounds, pretty soon I'll be in the market for a good Tube TV.

I didn't think of light guns thats a good point. The Sanyo TV in my picture is going bad. I went to a pawn shop today but they wanted $125 for a no name 26" set. If you find a good place for tube TV's let me know.
