Do You Have More Than One Gaming Room?

[racketboy]

I was just curious about this. In the past, I've always dreamed of having some grand room dedicated to gaming.
However, being a married man (even though my wife enjoys gaming), my living room simply has the Wii hooked up on it for Wii and Gamecube games that we play together most often. I then have some of my older machines (Dreamcast, Saturn, Gamecube) sitting on my desk and hooked up to my PC's LCD. Of course, I have the PC for emulation as well. And of course, I have other systems like my NES and Genesis on the shelf, but available to hook up either upstairs or in my office if need be.
It seems like this setup works quite well for me from a practical standpoint.

Is there anyone else that has a setup similar in concept?

Downstairs I've got a room with my hdtv, movies, 360, wii, saturn, snes, and n64. Upstairs in the "rec-room" I've got most my old stuff hooked up to a regular tv, master system, genesis, cdx, retro duo, ps2, dreamcast and all the games. Unfortunately I still live "at home" so I have to deal with other peoples crap up there, otherwise it would be my dedicated classic game room. Downstairs with my hdtv is my area claimed during the new house land rush. Anything found in that room that isn't mine finds its way into the garbacheo.

i barely have more than one room in my apartment, so short answer is no. long answer is i play my 360 and saturn through my tv and have a selector on my vga between my computer and my dreamcast.

Let's see...in my living room, I've got an HDTV with my PS2, Xbox360, Dreamcast, and Nintendo 64 hooked up to it. My old regular TV is sitting on my kitchen table with my SNES and Sega Saturn hooked up to it. I would have my N64 hooked up to it instead of the Saturn, but my old TV has a problem with several of its games, so it gets hooked up to the newer television.

Ultimately I want one room dedicated to my geekiness too, though I don't think that will ever be realistic...I don't think a single room could contain it. Between books, action figures, video game collections, my PC, firearms, etc....yeah....

I run my business out of my home so pretty much the whole basement is nothing but wall to wall video games and systems taking up every inch. I also have an office where I have my SNES, Saturn and Turbo Grafx hooked up at all times to a small television.

Like you Racketboy my girlfriend and I pretty much have split the house down the middle We have about equal amounts of square footage. This seems to work pretty well as she can do whatever she wants with her areas and I can do what I want with mine.

I bought my house 5 years ago now, and made a deal with my wife: I said I want *one* room in the house for myself. A "man den" for all my geeky stuff. She could then do as she liked with the rest of the house. I took a downstairs room (not a "basement" as such, because we don't have them here, but it's pretty close).

At the time it was mostly specialist networking and server gear (I was running an IT consultancy), but now it's a games room. It's out of the way, and most people don't even know it exists if they walk through the house and the games room door is shut.

So almost everything goes there - consoles, RGB monitors, arcade machines, spare parts and repair stuff (there's a small workbench for doing my soldering, non-woodwork joystick construction, etc). My kids are allowed down there, but only with supervision. Other than a lot of fragile/expensive stuff, it's also not terribly child safe.

Upstairs in the main living area is the Wii, as my wife likes to play that (and doesn't like going down to the games room all that much). We also float about with a couple of DSes and a GBA as well.

I have one small room purely dedicated to gaming. Its got a 42" Vizio HDTV "which I love by the way" built into the wall. Theres a PC for emu needs, PS3, 360, PS2, Xbox 1, DC, Saturn and a GC. Yeah I tend to take things I enjoy overboard. Right now I'm in the process of painting a Okami mural in my game room. I'm going for a dark taking over the light theme just like in the game. I'll post some pics soon to show progress worth showing.

I have a geek room with my genesis NES dreamcast and Atari 2600. It's also got a desk for my bills / coin collection. Then there is a desk with a computer for the girlfriends stuff.

The living room has a 42 inch TV with a DVR PS3 and Wii. I want to cancel the TV service since 400 channels of nothing on is a pointless bill. She talks me out of it every month. One room should be enough for gaming though.

Just my bedroom. Small 19" television does the trick for me. My room has more or less become my game room because I am very adamant about not having bullshit around, so I'm often cleaning and reorganizing (throwing out) things that I held on to for years without any real reason for doing so. The ultimate "goal" is to get it all slimmed down to just my clothes and my games. I've got a bookshelf as well. Still it makes it a little difficult to find a place to put things like markers, to which I should get a desk to keep them and similar items in, but don't necessarily have the space for a desk, especially with all the space the games take up. I suppose I'm rather OCD about certain things.

Not sure why everyone is referring to theirs as a, "geek room". My Ultramega-OK room is in the basement of my families home. Not incredibly spacious since i've worked my drum kit into the mix, but it can comfortably seat 3 people. All my systems are hooked up to either an LCD monitor I have, or my CRT. With my La-z-boy on a perfect angle to view each of them. Then I have my PC, which is also within eye shot of my la-z-boy.
