Someone named "Pete" in Austin, Texas has a game room that would make him the envy of most gamers. A WordPress blog named "Pseudo-Macro" featured photos of a reclusive retro game enthusiast's collection and setup that include a mix of old and new consoles, portable gaming devices and titles, most of which still have their original boxes and packaging. The most noticeable and impressive part of this dream game room is the TV stand/cabinet. This custom piece of gaming furniture has a cubby hole for each console that are linked up to two sets of arcade style controllers. The setup allows for quick switching between consoles without having to untangle a monkey fist sized knot of plastic cords to play them and even has a PC MAME emulator for the full arcade experience. If you don't feel like standing up, you can always play on traditional controllers in two cushy movie theater recliners. "So what kind of games does this guy have to play?" I can hear you asking with feverish anticipation. How about a buttload of them? In addition to the large library of games, you'll notice the massive collection of portable gaming devices in the middle shelving from the five different kinds of Game Boys to the crap-tastic monochrome Game.com from Tiger. Maybe it's a good thing that we don't know exactly who "Pete" is or where he lives because if he gave us a minute to bask in its glory, he would have to call the police to get us out of his house. :shocking:
I also think it looks to cluttered for me... I would just forgo having all the game consoles out and focus on an awesome PC with a beautiful gaming interface that has all the old console emulators (and their associated ROMs) on the thing. Then I would have just a small footprint that has everything. I could then switch between consoles and games by just using the interface on the PC.
