dude- i have a total soft spot for basement game rooms. Your room is no exception. Reminds me of when i was kid. I also kinda love that you don't have ANY new systems in there- just carts. Stick to your guns man! Sprites are where it's at.

a friend of mine had a similar thing happen to him. His was in color and a bit bigger than the one pictured. It popped just like yours moz. It weighed so much that we just decided, fuck it and used it as the stand for the new tv.

Gotta agree with Ziggy here, it looks great to me. Any chance you'll do a closeup of the collection?

sweet game room and collection.

I'm always jealous of the basement rooms. I never had one...always thought that it would be super cozy and cool

We actually did that, too. But it was a spare 13" sitting on top as a temporary fix until the TV could get fixed. Now that I think about it, that TV must have gotten fixed no less than five times. I kinda remember finally getting it back, fixed. It was something like, " YES! The TV is back again!" I now remember having to get the VCR at the time to get fixed a lot.

Wood paneling, console television and alcohol adverts; manly indeed. I think a woman could get pregnant just by walking through that basement.

I absolutely love how Bhart's received more compliments for his TV than most of us have for our HD LCDs. Only on this forum... :)

Thats because no one here has combined them yet Shallowgamer. I am still looking for an LCD monitor to fit into the console tv my cousin is holding for me.

Really awesome game room, although having a basement gaming room is one of my baigest fears. Aren't you afraid of a flood? That's the only reason why I'd never have a game room downstairs.
