I open this thread to post and see the places where the magic happens. Where do you play, your game-room, with your consoles and games. I want to see cool pics, tonight I'm uploading mines. :)
For notice it's something like this :

I don't have any pictures of my room; mainly because I can't scan my room. :-\
I don't have most of my stuff plugged in at the moment, so unfortunately I can't show it off here.
I have a photo from some years ago, but I'd have to find and scan that one first...
I'm looking foward to see you guys' setups, though. ;D
Cool photo, Switchstance. I'll go with sepia...

Now, I moved into my parents home from DC about five months ago, and never unpacked -- still trying to get a good job and leave. So, no gameroom for me. It's a gamebanco, I guess. Eggerland on the screen.
Here is mine! I took this one when I was starting a session of Contra.

I want a TV table like that FamicomFreak. I need one badly. Mine it's a cheap table. :/
Messy room in the second pic, so cool.
And JC cool having a window to get some sun-light. I don't have one :(

Yeah the table thing helps keep everything organized but in the end I always have wires popping out from one place.
One suggestion is to keep the TV facing away from the window so you don't get glare (or have closed blinds like me :P).

Yeah, but sunlight = yellow Famicom. I have to keep mine covered, with a shirt. I don't have one of those fancy smancy covers like featherpluck. :P I can't wait till I get a place of my own, so I can have everything set up properly. It's so hard to use the Disk System in this condition, especially 'cause my Disk System is being a bitch.

That's the downside to all this stuff -- the cords. You've got the Famicom controller cords, the Famicom AC cord, the AV cords (or RF), the Disk System RAM cord, the Disk System AC cord, the power converter cord, the TV power cord, and in my case, the cord for the power bar. ::)
How much sun needs to get yellowed ?
Sounds paranoic to me hide from the sun all the time. I think yellowed stuff comes with years and years. At least my snes never get yellowed and I never hide from a window. I see tons of SNES yellowed, but depends of the spot where you deposit your console.

How much sun needs to get yellowed ?
This is from an excellent article on SNES yellowing found at
http://www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archives/189 (http://www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archives/189):
Quote from: http://www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archives/189In the case of the SNES plastic, however, the trigger of the oxidation process is clearly not UV light, but simple and unavoidable exposure oxygen in the air over time, with heat possibly accelerating the process. Once the process is triggered, its effects cascade in a recursive cycle -- as in the UV example above -- eventually changing the physical nature of the plastic and its color. Visual proof that exposure to air is causing the SNES discoloration can be seen in the picture below:
I don't know if the same can be applied to the Famicom (though I assume it could). Either it's doomed to be yellow or it's not -- not much you can really do about it :P
Yeah I read that article. I'm planning on burying my systems underground with no way for them to get oxygen.....
I don't know much about the yellowing of the Famicom. It is probably very similar to the SNES, but the SNES is slightly different and isn't pure white, like the Famicom. I imagine the most damage to the Famicom can be done with direct sunlight. I have seen Famicoms that are only half yellow, where the sunlight hit the Famicom only halfway. So, indirect sunlight would not seem to cause as much damage. I think it's good to keep your Famicom away from direct sunlight and away from windows -- that's if you plan on reselling it someday or if you are one of those crazy "everything must be mint" collectors. :P
I think it have to do with the plastic and all of kind of plastics around there.
cheap plastic
I mean, I think some series of Famicoms or Sneses come with some type of plastic and other not, some of those releases come with the "bad" plastic who suffer that yellowed effect.
& some come with top half bad plastic & bottom half good plastic. :P That weird SNES...
It is ok to have your famicom in a room with a window, but it cannot be near the window. it is preferable to put it on the other side of the room where there is no sunlight reaching it. The first release snes with the sticker near the power button WILL NOT get yellowed. I have one and I love that about it. My famicom is white, but I have seen ones that are yellow and its nasty, haha.

Man, if you're in Argentina and you call tacky to an Electrolab for sure you would be killed.
Actually, if someone had an extra Famicom we can do some bussiness :)
Speaking of pc engine shuttle, does it work with the cd drive? it doesnt seem like it would.
switchstance, you definately need to get an ebay account. if your problem is you dont have a visa card for paypal, you can just register your bank account. also, I dont know if you have these in argentina but in the us the bank cards generally are affiliated with visa or mastercard and can be used like a credit card, except they wont work if you have no money in your bank account.
Can't you just be unverified? I've been like that for a while. :P
Just for notice, I have other famiclones more like "FAMICOM" style, I must take some photos, but for sure the most accurate speed/sound it's the electrolab baby, that thing is heavy.
this is where i have my famicom, nes, and master system. yes my tv is dusty.

To be true, I like both color "variants". ;) Truly. The yellowed one has something to it.
Something nasty ;D
A couple of my PC monitors suffered from that, but only halfway. Also my SNES is a 1992 model and it's good as new.

Hi,
djdac!
I just loved this photo!
I can smell a severe 8 bit addiction, which
is a blessing from the Invisible Famicom!
One thing remains mysterious to me...
Is that notebook for Metroid maps and
Rockman passwords? ;D
I must confess that I have various notepads
full of passwords and dungeon maps
everywhere here at the Prophet's Lair!!!
It is very cool to write all the codes in paper!
Very "oldschool-ish"!
Nowadays since I have my laptop here next to my TV, I type them all out. Mega Man 5 was the last game subject to having the passwords written on paper. :(

yes, I write all the my passwords in that notepad. i havent drawn maps in it, but thats a good idea!
lol that's funny I used to write zelda maps and mega man passwords in notebooks as well and I though I was the only one
I used to write important passwords (like the password to the final level or the one with the most lives or items) onto the cartridge itself :P but used a pencil so it could be erased later.

The suffering!!
Ouch!! get this pencil out of my skin!!
Arrghhh!!
"Feeling the pain of the cartridge labels!!!"
Now that I finally ended th job that was taking
my life away I'll try to take some pics from
The Prophet's Lair!!!
Hahahah not on the labels :P, onto the grey plastic of the cartridge, and with a pencil so I could erase them later with a common eraser.
How would you write the codes if the game was in the console? (http://www.websitegoodies.com/smilies/gfx/confused0075.gif)
Turn the console off, remove the game and write the code on it :P. BTW, I wrote important codes/passwords onto the cartridges themselves (like for the final level for example) not the passwords for every goddamn level ;D
I do. :P I like going back & beating "Break Man" before taking on the Wily stages.

Well, I took some pics, but how do we put them in a post? :)
First upload them to file hoster, like imageshack.
-> imageshack.us (http://imageshack.us)
There you'll get a link. Put that between img tags and you're done. ;)
[img]here comes the address of your pic[/img]
We get that question enough that I'll have to creat a explainer thread that we can link to when the question's asked.
That might be a good idea.
Here is my room :) Please note that some consoles can't be seen because they might be behind or inside some of the burrows seen. My room is also quite big so I took more than one picture of it. :P

50 cents?? :o :o :o
I'd buy ANY console for that price. Nice. That I call a find.
And I thought I was lucky when I bought my DC for 8 Euros. (10$ at the time)
Yeah I was really lucky that day. But the best thing I ever found for the lowest price is the boxed and complete Earthbound game that can be seen in some of my photos. The game only cost me 2$! ;D
Please take care. It is said that people with much luck will meet with bad luck of the same amount... and you were very lucky as I can see... ;)

Wow that TV looks old. No AV inputs I guess? ::)
RF all the way, baby! :P
yeah its all RF i need to get a new TV. snes is in bottom cabinet.
Speaking of old TVs... I have a 1979 Mitsubishi Electric TV set (21" color CRT) lying around in my backyard. Picture quality is great, but it's got a little low B+ and got replaced by a newer TV so it's now a spare. Also one of the wood side panels was removed to fit the TV into an specialized 'hole in the wall' TV rack, and never got around to put it back.
Here are two pics of a 'temporal game room' I made sometime ago while I was remodelling my room ;D

as you see the TV and Gamecube use 110V so it's a mess of step-down transformers, and I use a RF modulator gutted from an old broken VCR to convert the composite AV to channel 3 for the TV ;D
That is neat. Sounds simple but doesn't look it lol

Where did you get both of your boxed famicom systems? Ebay? And were they cheap? ;D
yeah Ebay.
Andy gives em real cheap to me.

Yeah Andy is a pretty good seller. Last month I bought a working square button famicom from him for only 35$ :)

Or do you have to press the power button to turn the TV on?

I wanna see that game room in real life, the images amazed me beyong anything ever. I have never seen gigantic NES and Gameboys before.
Thanks for the nice comments :)
The Giant Gameboy was used in Sears as a display unit. It has a 32" TV inside it and apparently showed continuous videos of upcoming games. The Giant NES I built about a 2 years ago with a buddy of mine. More info can be seen here http://www.nationalgamedepot.zoomshare.com/2.html

The giant R.O.B chair, has profitability and so does the NES controller table. I could see people putting coasters on the red A and B buttons and having their coffee sit on the coasters. I could also see people placing a plate of donuts or something on the D Pad.
Having seen that I now want a giant Famicom. (http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/happy/happy0064.gif)
Idea.
If you make a ROB chair, you need to make Gyro tables. Whatever those little tables are that you put your beverage on, that go on the sides of couches. Yeah, one of those, shaped like a gyro :D

OMG I remember my parents foundan article about you. So your that guy nice game room It's like my dream room.
That is me :D I am a dork ;D
~~NGD
alright i havent been here in awhile so i thought id post an updated pic of everything later on
I've been out for a couple of months and your game-room is impressive man, really nice. I want some like that someday. Regards to all your game-rooms I hope they grow :)
My "wall of games (http://ximwix.net/storage/IMG_1518.JPG)" is finally starting to take shape (amidst the total mess that is the rest of my apartment...). I'm happy to have my NES games out of a closet and back into the open again.
UPDATE
My game collection is pretty much entirely on display now. I'm missing my Dreamcast controller and hookups, and I can't find my original Genesis, but everything else turned up. Controllers and whatnot are in the baskets along the bottom. I've got more random NES controllers in boxes in a closet (since I'll never use them),
(http://ximwix.net/storage/IMG_1520_thumb.JPG) (http://ximwix.net/storage/IMG_1520.JPG)
And here's a shot of my tv in its new location (for no good reason ;D):

How did you ever get a hold of that? And what is that thing on top of your Famicom Box? It looks like you have some Nintendo tech stuff maybe?
Awesome collection Joe you have tons of NES games! What a collection!
I don't have a game room yet but I do have a closet room lol kind of. Here I took some photos of it. I hope you guys enjoy it. I know you can't see everything there but in the future I hope to have a bigger space.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00747.jpg)
Top of the closet shows all the CIB consoles I have + some VHS tapes and a couple of gamecube games.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00748.jpg)
My Famicom section! I managed to fit them in rows. There is also some NES stuff to the left.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00749.jpg)
More Famicom section here! Also my disk system games and some boxes of Famicom, gameboy, and other consoles.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00750.jpg)
A more closer photo of the right side of the Famicom section.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00751.jpg)
Super Famicom games are pretty much here as well as Mario 8 with box from a pirate cart!! Also, some other stuff and PS2,Xbox, and Cube games in the background.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00752.jpg)
The right side shows some of the SNES carts I have.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00753.jpg)
A little bit lower is the Gameboy games + Genesis and other stuff area. My gameboy games are all in that wooden box and gba games are on top of the box. I also have Genesis + SNES boxed games here.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00754.jpg)
The right side of this section holds my Disk System + Famicom combo!! The casette holder under holds my loose Genesis carts. It's a great storage tool!
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00755.jpg)
The bottom section has some burned PS2 games and some originals as well. It also has Virtual Boy AC adapter and the extra NES I have. The NES in the bottom is the first NES I ever got!
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00757-1.jpg)
Here I bought another casette holder for my Famicom carts. As you can see they fit great!!
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00758.jpg)
Same thing for the Genesis games!
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00759.jpg)
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00760.jpg)
On the left you have my NES cart collection.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00761.jpg)
Playstation, Dreamcast, and PC games are in this CD holder. Also, some data discs.
Well that's it. I'll see if I can get photos of where I actually play my games.
Wish I had a closet like that! Nice stuff there!
Oh dammit. A friend was giving me several of those cassette holders and I didn't take them, so he threw them away. Storing cartridges on it didn't cross my mind at the moment >:( :'(
I saw some of those cassette holders at Savers a month ago, but they wanted like 12 dollars for them!

Try the thrift stores. I got these for .95 cents each!
Nice collection! I need some space to store and organize all my stuff like that.
Well good news! I'm moving to a bigger place that has a closet twice the size of this one!! OMG I'm so psyched!! This place is awesome!!! I started to move tonight already but we are going to need a Uhaul truck for the big stuff.
My "game room" only consists of a Magnavox odyssey and a Atari pong (C-100)
here's where i play some of my old consoles for now. kinda messy i need to organize it :P. i got my nes & sega systems set up in another room.
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3281/2940181539_2b03fa3a5a.jpg)
Ahhh.... there's some pretty awesome stuff in here! Seeing some of the jumbles of wires though makes me uncomfortable! I'm a super neat freak. :D
My collection isn't all encompassing. I've got what I like and what I'll play so nothing really sits for a long time without being played. I did have one goal and that was to gather all of Nintendo's consoles together in one room. We're still working on that last point though, but I'd like to think I'm over the hump. Let's see if we can't find any pictures...
(http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/PatMan33/Video%20Game%20Collection/Setup1.png)
Here's most of the setup. Everything pre-GameCube is there. You can see Mr. Power Glove peeking out on the left side and Mrs. Power Pad waving in the bottom right. Also, if you look up top, you'll see the best dust collector ever conceived by man.
(http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/PatMan33/Video%20Game%20Collection/Setup2.png)
A closeup! The magic box on top of the TV has my favorite NES games in it as well as my paltry selection of Famicom games.
(http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/PatMan33/Video%20Game%20Collection/Setup4.png)
And another... that television is the best TV ever.
(http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/PatMan33/Video%20Game%20Collection/Setup5.png)
Here's the GameCube and DS area. Past the left side of the frame is a chest of drawers filled with games, accessories, various adapters, and parts. It mostly contains games for the Game Boy, Super Famicom, and Nintendo 64.
(http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/PatMan33/Video%20Game%20Collection/Setup6.png)
You'll notice a copy of Video Game Collector, a magazine that some of you have had a hell of a time trying to get. :P
(http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i177/PatMan33/Video%20Game%20Collection/Setup3.png)
And finally a deterrent to any would-be robbers.
I've also got a Wii down in the living room but I forgot to get some pictures of it. Use your imagination. Anyway, that about does it. I hope you enjoyed your brief tour of my game room! :)
I though I commented on those photos before but anyways here I go again. Great Nintendo collection. You have pretty much all the Nintendo consoles!
Great rooms everybody. I plan on making a fully dedicated nintendo gaming room once I get my own place.
I'll up some pictures soon when I add my Famicom stuff to my collection in my room.
Most of my stuff is in the living room...

The "other" room. It usually looks this bad (sometimes worst). I built the table on the back to make stop motion animation, but I need to solve a few problems first (lighting and puppet armatures, mostly)
(http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/4206/img4248largeoj5.th.jpg) (http://img150.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img4248largeoj5.jpg)
My Willem Programmer, projection panel, and a couple of proto carts I made (the one in the right is Earthbound. It's label looks really bad each time I try to take a photo of it, I guess it's because of the strong color, but it's quite nice actually)
(http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/2758/img4251largeyy2.th.jpg) (http://img162.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img4251largeyy2.jpg)
My EPROM eraser and a socketed cart I'm yet to finish

There are a few things that don't appear in the pictures (Mac Classic, Olivetti Prodest PC-1, Sega Genesis model 1, Sega Master System 2, all of my Atari computers (65xe, 130xe, 800xl, XEGS), a 4-switch 2600, some nes consoles and famiclones, console parts, and some other stuff I can't remember right now.
I used to have an arcade machine in my living room, but traded it for a Wii. On top of the first image you can see I still keep the Bomb Jack PCB that originally came with it (I removed it and put a computer in its place) . Anyway, this was my machine (I miss it :'(): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJUBigWOK-E
Wow love the first photo I need a bookcase like that to keep in my room. Man that's really kewl. Awesome photos!

(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g2/jerahcordova/Famicom%20Oddities/SANY0273.jpg)
Wow Toneman that's so awesome!! Hmm JC you need some shelves man!
I saw Walky's collection in person, it's impressive.
Good news I got a bookshelf and will be taking new photos of my upgraded gaming area. Stay tuned!
Here are the photos of where my gaming goes on and also of some of my games. Sorry you guys can't see everything but I would have to take a lot of stuff out to show every single gaming item. Enjoy the photos!

Alright that should do it for now. I'll probably have to work on an album to be able to show everything in detail. Let me know what you guys think!
Wow nice collection! I'm jealous.
Ha, I have exactly twice as many G&Ws as you :P
Also, could you post another picture of your Famicom box? It looked blue in that one picture...and mine is grey
And...are those all handbills of the Mario games? That's really cool you have all 4 plus Doki Doki Panic
Alright I've been waiting for this for a LOOOONG time! The official NEW pictures of my Famicom collection.

So! What do you guys think I should do with that Generation NEX???
You could give it to me ;D.
Nice collection though, that AV Fami looks to be in perfect shape.
Hey FF, that's a lot of stuff.
Very nice.
My room is VERY unorganized ATM...which means I don't have all my pictures yet, I'll edit my post once I get pics for the rest of the stuff,,

Ahh dork love how you have that pile of mess!! man I remember when I used to be like that....if it wasn't for my wife I'll probably have a pile of games sleeping next to me every night lol
It's not a mess, it's Feng Shui :P

kewl stuff love the couch there man I need one of those!
That couch does look comfy..I wish my room was cool like that :D
Also, I'm a bit jealous of your Pulse Line Mario Bros., the label looks nice and I feel I was cheated because the one PL I have (Devil World) is one of the two PLs (I think) that doesn't have a shiny label :(
Awesome room, Rogles!!!

I need a couch :P
Ehh, I have a Lovesac (6') so that's fine for now :P Too bad I can hardly sit in it when playing the Famicom unless I move the Famicom waaaaaaay closer to it
Famicom cords are too short to sit and play comfy anywhere. :P
That's why my couch is so near my tv. :P there's like 2 feet of space between the couch and the back wall.
Careful don't mess up your eyes. WAAAA!
Do you take the Famicom off the table to play? It seems you'd have to sit it on the floor or something for it to reach you, unless you move the couch :P
Also, what's in the guitar case that's behind the couch?
No, the cord reaches. In the guitar case.... there's a guitar.
I meant what kind of guitar :P
And wow...I didn't expect it to reach that far
At the moment I don't have much space as my room is quite small, although I have one that's quite big but it ain't here.
So I just have 3 consoles plugged to my Full HDTV, which are Xbox (via SCART), Xbox 360 S (via HDMI) and PS3 Slim (via HDMI).
I would wish I had more room so I'd connect every system I got.
By the way, if you got a game room take a pic of it and share if you don't mind. :)
my 5 shelf bookcase is filled to the brim in games and systems, the only systems not currently taking up space on that shelf are: Sega master system, Sega genesis+sega CD, and my beloved N64

That may look kinda crappy then, I'm just saying.
For a game room, the room should be slightly big so there's space for shelfs, equipment, and et cetera.
It's gonna cost me to build but it'll be worth it, and no kids allowed. Hate it when they brake things.
i know but my room is just too damn small, and i AM NOT taking my collection to my dads house
very cool :o :o :o
