We all have our spot to game. This year I'm going to be building out a place to call home. I'm taking inspiration from Slackur's game room to create a space that promotes parallel play. I want people who visit to be able to pick up and play a game and not feel tied down to a particular spot or system. To accomplish this I split my game room in to four areas:
1. Modern - Sit down on the futon and play some PS3, 360, Wii or X1. 2. Retro corner with Sony TV - Pull up a chair and play some classic games 3. Retro cart with Magnavox TV - Pull up a chair and play some 2600 or Intellivision 4. Bar - Sit down and play some Galaga or play a board game
I'm working on adding some custom shelving, another retro console cabinet, decorations (making it look less brown), and more places to play this year.
