Putting together a Game Room

[Hobie-wan]

Alphabetical to boot - congrats on your finished room.

And I am glad to see someone here who has a bigger Gamecube Collection than I do (atleast gamewise, I am fairly certain no one else here has 5 Gamecubes).

I've got 4 and that sounds like a challenge

There are only a handful of more games I want for the cube and I'll probably shift my focus to another system.

Haha, I'm down to 8 Genesis machines (1 dead) after having traded 2 away recently. Anyone need a model 2 but has cords?

Room is looking good. I wish I had a way to store all my games where they can be safely closed off but be easy to get to in a closet or cabinet like that. Someday.

What's the keyboard system under the N64, SNES, and Dreamcast?

Odyssey²

I had 5 Genesises for a while and just refused to buy anymore even though they were dirt cheap. I'm down to 2 of them now though which is nice. I'll probably unload a SNES and Gamecube in the next few months to free up some more room.

And Hobie-wan is correct about the Odyssey 2. My hookups are shot on it though so if anyone is selling some cords for O^2 or the 2600 please let me know.

There is still a lot more stuff to put out so the next update should look even better!!

The power bricks should be easy enough to take care with some multiplugs or finding matching orphan bricks. The 2600 should work with an auto switch box from a NES/GEN/SMS IIRC if you put a male/male on it. There's also a deal you can buy that is just a short RCA/Coax jobbie for the 2600 that people sell. But what you really want to do is an S-video mod like I did

Odyssey hookup is unfortunately find a new box or mod since it has that stupid skinny plug on the end.

Thanks for the info I appreciate it!!

Damn, I thought I had a lot of NES games, but you've got more than I do. Your game room is looking awesome.

Strong work! That shelving system ended up looking amazing. And there's even space underneath to store a toddler!

It must be a pain to get a game into the uber Genny.

NES is my favorite right now. i've been unofficially collecting all licensed NES games and I've got 240 (once my 3 CIB Lolo 1-3 arrive!!). I've found some really cool games that I never heard of or would have otherwise passed over.

@shallowgamer

Thanks for the compliments!! I can't take all the credit as I had a friend of mine help walk me through pretty much everything.

@Mr.popo
Lol, yeah I've got to take it out of the unit to get carts into it. Everything else gets to stay in though. If I pick up another system in the future I'll probably bump the Ultra Sega up to the top shelf so I wont have any issue loading carts. The only problem then is that the controller cords arnt very long so I'll probably have to get a controller extension of some sort.

I was a little skeptical when I first saw that you painted your walls black. But now I think the whole layout looks very sharp. And yes, great collection of games you have there
