Check out this guys game room

If i had a game room, i think for the most part it wouldn't look the part. i'd have a walk-in game library or something to keep them hidden (for security and to reduce visual clutter). i'd probably have a few of my favorite collectibles behind glass, simply to enhance the look, not to create it. Usage of game promos as decoration turns me off now. i'm sure part of it has to do with working in retail, where they feel every micron of space has to be taken up with something.

Needs to spend some more money on a decent TV though.

My thoughts exactly. A nice TV would make the room muchc better...that and a better area to display his systems.

I don't believe this is a private room. Has to be shop/store or something.

A gamer couple i know used to have almost as many NES and SNES carts lining the walls in the the girl's bedroom. i don't know how the divvied up the games when they broke up though. :lol

It's not too hard to acquire that much stuff if you work at a game store, scour yard sales, classifieds, etc. That would partially explain the lack of a decent tv or home theater system.
 
I agree with Aoi. Besides, I've never seen a game shop as immaculate as the place in these pics-only a real collector would keep that room that clean.
 
maybe the tv is there for nostalgia, like playing all his older systems on it. im sure the guy probably has the new gen systems in his living room and the games are stored in his gameroom.
awesome collection by the way. i would actually do that nes bench cause that rocks

*edit i didnt see those next gen systems there. the tv is probably crappy because he has no money from buying all those video games
 
I'm betting the guy's only beat like 5% of those games.

It's not like TVs back then were that bad. I'm sure there were 32 inch Sony Trinitrons in the 80s, but my parents had a 27.

I wonder if people who actually own a high amount of games like this guy has, actually play them all.

i have a ton of older games, and the ones i pick up i usually never play. its just for collection purposes. that and it is really har dto play nes games after playing xbox
 
It looks like there's a security camera mounted on the ceiling. I don't think this is just a room in someone's house.

Why is having a game collection "sad?" It no different from people who collect antiques, books, guns, war stuff, etc.

It's a question of scale, effort involved, stuff like that. I'm not disparaging the guy's collection - it's very thorough - but he's clearly crossed the line between hobby and obsession and that makes me hope he's not doing it at the detriment of everything else in his life. In other words, usually when you see a collection like this you're talking about a very wealthy person or a crazy person (the wealthy person is also crazy, but usually labeled eccentric). Show me a War Stuff, Gun, or Book collector operating at this level of collection and I'd also call it a bit "sad."

Moderation in all things.

Yeah, well, he doesn't show you the pit in the corner modeled after a Mario warp pipe, where he taunts his "dates" with, "It puts the Power Glove on its hand, it does this when its told!! It puts the Power Glove on its hand, or else it gets Power Pad again!"
 
Remember the thread a while back of folks lamenting about how much they spend on gaming a year once they realize the amount? Guys like these keep me from feeling that way. :)

And LMAO @ the Warcraft Orc baby.

Who needs a HDTV for gaming-room use when it makes so many older systems look like crap? Keep it in the home theatre, I say.
 
Part of the reason for having an older TV is that (most) older consoles look like shit on an HDTV. The TV in the pics doesn't look that bad. S-video wasn't even common until the 32-bit era.

And that's not a security camera on the ceiling -- it's a speaker.
 
I see,I forget that the 480p mode become standard until the xbox and there are even a few exceptions that are only 480i

These collections are usually for archival purposes and not for whipping out a few obscure titles and getting some multiplayer in with his buds on the weekend
 
That's more games then I'd ever even dream of owning.

And that bench is all kinds of cool, everything is better when it's novelty size.
 
Sheesh. What's wrong with someone collecting stuff, guys?

What I really love are the posts which seem to imply that if the guy had only gotten an HDTV, this wouldn't be "sad".
 
LOL the TV was the first thing I thought of 2, I also stongly agree that he should have a “walk in” Games cupboard to make his room look less like a shop.

Its not the collection itself, its the stench of loser that eminates from the whole room. A good gauge for if your "game room" is lame ass is picturing yourself showing it to a girl. Do you feel embarrased or is it just like any other room in your house? If this room doesn't make you feel the former, then you're too far gone as it is.
