A running progress of pictures...


Where it all started... Unfinished corner of the basement


Main Sitting Area


Theater Side


Main sitting area... Will have my retro set up on this side


theater side


Walls and ceiling painted. Installing trim... Getting closer


Projector installed, still not decided on how I'm going to finish screen... So for now, flat white paint.


Main Gaming Area. A couple Significant additions to previous pics would be the CRT HD TV and a new ottoman that doubles as my controller storage.


Shot from the couch


close up of my tangled console stand. not ideal but I can play any system here on demand, so that's something. N64, GCN, SNES, NES, Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast, SMS, Xbox, Atari 2600, Blue bag full of handhelds.


Under the SDTV. VCR, Laser Disc Player, PS2, Wii, Atari 2600


Left Half of the Shelves. Genesis, SMS, O2, Saturn, PS3, Dreamcast, PS1, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, GCN, Laserdiscs, and lots of random storage


Right half of the shelves. N64, SNES, DS, PSP, PS2, NES, Atari 2600 games on the shelves


Ottoman full of controllers


Theater side. Moved my records over here, Put the couch in, put up shelf and painted more. Still lots to do over here. But can work around a usable room


This was my grandfathers. He made wine in it for years. So it's pretty awesome having it, but it's also a great donkey kong barrel I'm now using as an end table.

I do it the lazy way. Upload to photobucket, copy IMG link, paste.

Probably a better way to do it, but it works for me.

Now lets see the goods!

download a program from windows (i think its called) picture resizer

it will make a picture smaller so it can fit into any post.

farther down when you're posting find the "upload attachement" and you can download your pic to here.

Nice collection of NES games!!

I'm looking forward to future gaming room

[beatnix]

Thanks! I just did an update to my database and I'm sitting at 222 NES carts. Its the first systsem I really started collecting. Bought a top loader NES and 65 games for 75.00 about 7 years ago from my buddy. It was the same system he had hooked up in his basement through our entire childhood. Been really collecting for about the last two years. Im a garage sale, flea market, and craigslist junkie. Coolest part of my collection is that it hasnt cost me anything. I sell enough on ebay that I tend to break even or make money on most of what I buy. Get to keep a lot of games that way without paying much for them. Ive found some really great games this way. But it makes me a cheapskate when it comes to buying things anymore!

As to the gameroom, it is about two years in the making... I keep doing little bits at a time as I can afford it. I'm finally starting to see a finish line. I have to mud, sand, paint, and trim the room and I'm in business! Cant wait

Man that collection is sweet. I could play hide and go seek in all of your games. Post some pictures when its finished I would love to see them.

Beatnik, click on "Quote" to Quote me and see what I did to embed your picture in my post.

Also I recommend taking your pictures down to 600 or 700 pixels wide.

Ok, so here's my try once again to embed a pic...This is the pic from my couch area. Like I said, pretty small and cramped. I have a lot of stuff packed up still that will hopefully make it out to the new room soon.
