Yes, right on - Goldstar 3do under the N64.

The drawer under the tv folds out as a keyboard tray, so whatever system I want to play goes there, while the power cord is fed to the power strip visible behind the Jaguar.

So the display is technically not 100% playable, but everything is within reach, and uncluttered.

Still better than being crammed in the closet :)

That is exactly what I was thinking. Maybe there is a stash of D-Cell batteries for those old-school wireless controllers.

I always like to keep a controller plugged into most of my systems for instant play :)

Deathsled- "idiots" is a bit harsh, no?

I get that some think "why bother displaying if it's not hooked up?" or "all those systems should be hooked up, If you're going to do it right."

For me, just being able to display everything in a clear fashion, while still having access is a big win. Most of the time, I can get set up in 30 seconds or so, and I have yet to need to play more than 3 systems at once.

That's nice that you've got them all organized ... but do you plan on standing in front of the TV to play the Saturn? :3
