Just wanted to post a few new pics of the game room.  I think it's coming along well.  Not going to post all my pics on this blog, but am providing a link for the curious: http://s1029.photobucket....necrom99/Game%20Room%202/

You've come a long way baby.....

Entrance:

Long view, with back wall and controller peg board (no Crabby, I haven't painted it black yet.....):

Console shelf, well it was wire-free for presentation, but I decided to hook up 10 systems to my TV and make it more function (hence wires).  The Coleco is hooked up to the small Space Saver TV on the shelf.  I have 14 systems in my house ready to go at any given moment.  You will notice that since last time I added an upper shelf to give myself more room as I was running out of space.

no lie....

Work station table where I clean games and play 2600 and Vectrex.  That orange thingy is a pretty cool 8-track player I found at a thrift shop.  Maybe a few of you actually know what that is:

Drawers for handheld systems and games.  These are opaque, but with the flash you can see through them a bit:

Probably my coolest local find:

Classics:

Some of my 2600 collection:

My favorite collection VECTREX!!!!
[img width=700 height=393]http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y359/necrom99/Game%20Room%202/Vectrex.jpg[/img]

Fami collection.  Yes, I do labels on the ends of the carts....what of it?

Other random room stuff:

[img width=576 height=1024]http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y359/necrom99/Game%20Room%202/Musberger.jpg[/img]

And last but not least.  The best apology letter I have ever received from a seller in Japan.  I ended up getting two games for free from this standup gent.  It also came with some cantalope Halloween candy which of course I saved. Whaaaaaaa???

Well, get to it, man! Enough procrastinating!

GASP!

You still haven't given that back yet?!

That tears it-- I'm heading off to Sunnyvale right this moment to let 'em know--

Hey, wait...

*SCOFF* G.I. Joe figures???

Nerd.

Now if you'll excuse me, I hafta rearrange my Optimus Prime collection...

'Late

 
Looks like a great place to game!!

What is that thing that looks like cardboard cut outs on a stage? At first I thought it was from a fighter like KoF or MK, but after looking harder it looks like basketball?

Awesome letter! I love when sellers go above and beyond like that.

I love the unique layout of your gaming room. Very cool and glad to see your still adding and improving it!
 
@Crabmaster2000:  Uhhhhhhh.....that is actually a Slamball diarama press kit with a "working" trampoline on the court.  A coworker bought me that for my birthday a few years ago, because we got obessed reminiscing about it.  The bottom of the court slides out to reveal a promo VHS tape and some sweatbands.  Seriously......yeah.

For my homies who remember:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ouXw328WYI
 
Wow! How did I miss out on Slam Ball? That was awesome!! Those courts look like they would be a blast to play on.
 
I like the Vectrex collection. I hope mine is that good someday.
 
@nupoile: The Vectrex is a great system.  Like I told Crab the other day, it's a pretty good time to buy Vectrex games.  The market has tailed off a bit and CIB titles can be had for pretty cheap and loose for nearly nothing.  Still some poachers out there trying to sell games for $300+, but with free listings on eBay why not try I guess.
 
Sweet!
