How does your 'game room' look like? - Page 41

CritAnime · 26 May 2011, 03:59

Yeah the arcade version is pretty epic and I would love to have one. The 2600 version is pretty tripped down compared to the arcade original. Yet it's still fun

mikele · 26 May 2011, 08:26

the 80s rocked, man! Back then game rooms were pretty much the same, mostly set in bedrooms and there was little to brag about apart from systems itself (hardly any modding etc.) Always wondered how American Psycho's game room would look like. The author of this novel seems to indulge in hi-tech 80s gadgets, giving you pretty detailed specs in his book.

Your room is scarily organised.. you suffer from OCD ??

Lol it's not as organised as it may look. If I had taken some pics of my desk then it would be a sea of beer cans, scraps of paper with notes on and coffee mugs. All surrounding my weathered iMac.

The rest I keep in a sort of organised way. I do try to keep games for certain systems clumped together. However I am starting to run out of space and I am just starting to put tuff where I can. Maybe when we move I can ask the soon-to-be-wife if I can have some extra storage.

Cammy took some photos of our office this morning showing our main development and testing machines. Since she doesn't post here, I thought I'd put these up for anyone to see who may have missed them on other forums.

cosmiq · 15 August 2011, 16:35

Now THAT is a game room!

DDNI · 15 August 2011, 17:28

is THIS in a private house???

It is the best Amiga Room EVER!

Rebel-CD32 · 15 August 2011, 18:25

It sure is in a private house, we rent out the three bedrooms upstairs and turned the downstairs area, where the lounge and dining room would normally be into this computer office, and turned the garage into a games room.

gunni · 15 August 2011, 18:31

thats pretty awesome!

Awsome

DDNI · 15 August 2011, 18:59

Do you have parties there? Allow Joe public to call in?

fitzsteve · 15 August 2011, 19:17

@Rebel - how does one go about renting a Room

As I said to Cammy @Amibay and on IRC its an awesome setup and you have my envy

Rebel-CD32 · 15 August 2011, 20:25

We haven't had any parties here in a while but we'd love to have a LAN party or something eventually. I don't think I'd want joe public knowing about all our gear here, I wouldn't want it to all go missing while we're out. As for fellow Amiga users and other retro computing enthusiasts, sure they're welcome to drop by I guess.

All the rooms are occupied currently but if someone moves out, another Amiga user would be most welcome.

Retrofan · 15 August 2011, 21:20

I would like to rent a room there just to go sometimes downstairs to use that Amiga room.

DaveMB · 20 August 2011, 21:54

Well now that my 1200 and all my bits have arrived, I spent all yesterday stripping it down and giving it a warm soapy bath,(it was in a horrible grimey state) It's cleaned up better than i thought it would. (The case is immaculate as is the external floppy drive after a wash) there's just a few keys and the PSU that need the peroxide treatment when i get the time but for now i'm re-living my childhood

.
Gonna buy a ACA 1230 @ 42Mhz - 64mb Ram in a couple of weeks so that i can make use of my WHDLoad license and KG's Packs.

Anyway here is my humble retro corner (please excuse the poor photo quality- HTC have alot to learn about camera's)

PS: Considering it came with an external floppy drive and 200+ floppys, Not bad for £32 eh?

Very nice! Not bad at all for the money.

Mogilny · 21 August 2011, 11:28

You guys are awesome, I love the pictures.

alkis21 · 27 August 2011, 20:50

This is my computer room, with all machines running games that I created:

The PC on the left is running Other Worlds, the Amiga is running Cornelius saves Christmas and the PC on the right is running Diamonds in the Rough.

Mike UK · 04 September 2011, 16:25

Heres mine. Its a work in progress

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Amiga 1200 on desk which was bought from this forum (Boxed is a A500+) Which has gone majorly yellow after been stored for the last 2yrs
Laptop is a HP NX9105 (Freebee from work)

Upgrades planned

Accelerator for A1200
Desk for A500+ & Display
New desk if I can get my hands on a Commodore CRT

And sort through all the boxes of disks I have collected.
