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.....

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.

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:

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???

In anticipation of a new addition to our family, I've been working non-stop to get my new house in order. Among these projects is my upstairs game room, which I've posted a few pictures of when I first moved in. Well, after a lot of hard work, I've gotten most of my collection organized, except for determining what to do with displaying all of my controllers and housing my hookups so that I can locate them easily. Please feel free to comment on the pics and as always, any advice is greatly appreciated.

I want to begin by apologizing for my lack of production on the blogs recently, but some current life changes (i.e. moving into a new house, a family plagued with upper respiratory infections, and the preparation for a new baby) have forced my hand into worlds of both joy and displeasure. However, on a more fortunate note, the new house came with a gigantic playroom on the 3rd floor (a converted, fully-finished attic) for the kiddos and a nice separate "office".....errrrr, game room for yours truly. So in the midst of all the moving hubbub, I have decided to chronical the progress of my game room from start to finish. The purpose of this blog is to communicate with other gamers about ideas for my room to help me decide what the overall finished product will be. Hopefully, with all of the experience on this site, I will determine what changes might benefit my room and ultimately what things other people have tried that didn't work, which I can avoid. I hope this portion of my blog is a slight bit entertaining and please....please give any feedback you feel is necessary.
To start off, I'm just going to provide pictures of different parts of the room and give you my ideas as to what I think may happen over time. Any suggestions/warnings are greatly appreciated.
