I watch a lot of gameroom tour videos....yours is one of the more aesthetically pleasing ones I've seen, not to much, not to little....if I had to choose a template for my own gameroom this would definitely be it😃👌🏿💯
if you're looking for thinner book cases that look nice for games you should get the Atlantic Oskar 1080 Media Storage shelves. I use them for boxed cib games and theyre perfect. also you can adjust them however you want so theyre very accommodating for smaller games like ps1 cases and gameboy boxes.
Nice! Love the game room. Would love to have a retro collection like yours. I actually have the sony trinitron wide screen myself. Love the stereo sound from it. I try not to play it to much because of longevity reasons. Really wish that I didn't get rid of a lot of my retro games growing up.
I think you should have round stickers with different colors to indicate which box is real and which is repro. It would make a better sense for yourself and for the others seeing how you mix them together. Like green sticker - real, red - repro. Just a thought
That's a good thought! I wound up rearranging the NES black box ones a bit to make it a little easier to tell which ones were repro, but some other kind of indicator wouldn't be a bad idea at all. Thanks!
love the collection! I to try to collect for quality over quantity. Only try to have games that i will play or have more meaning to me. thanks for sharing
I have a Trinitron, and I have the HD Retrovision component cable for it. I honestly don't notice a big difference between that and composite for my SNES. Other platforms (like Genesis in particular) the component cables make a huge difference, or at the very least a noticeable one, but SNES only looks marginally better. -Kris
Here's the link. It needs reinforcement for sure though because all those magazines exceed its listed weight limit. www.target.com/p/11-34-9-cube-organizer-shelf-white-room-essentials-8482/-/A-15116810?preselect=15116807#lnk=sametab
This is a perfectly reasonable and admirable gaming room. It's not insane - it's sensible. What a breath of fresh air from some of the other rooms out there.
The ones for games that never had boxes of that size like Mario/Duck Hunt and the small EarthBound box were from a site called Uncle Tusk, but it doesn't seem to exist anymore. The black box games I got from BoxMyGames. -Kris
Boy, I wish I had an answer to that. I try not to keep them anywhere with high humidity or heat, and my basement is weirdly the most consistent area in the house in terms of temp, and I run a dehumidifier in the summer, but outside of that I don't really have an answer. It's something I should look into more. -Kris
The shelves holding my games are ikea billy, the shelves holding my consoles are ikea kallax with glass shelf inserts (also ikea). The cube shelves holding my magazines are Target home essentials.
I got rid of my water boiler tank. They last less than 10 years and cost about $3 grand. My water tank was on the attic and it was rusted and leaking. So I went tankless which is about $5 grand. It last from 25-30 years. I told the people to put it in the garage because I don't want it leaking in the attic. For one, its less space than the water boiler. So the next time you need to change the boiler, there are other new methods. Cleaning it is like cleaning a laundry washer. Very simple method.
Plastic shoe rack for amiibos: that's a very good and cheap idea. I was thinking of ways to put close to the ceilings. The couch and coffee table is very homey. Who cares what other thinks about it. It's your entertainment room. You can have your old Teddy Ruxpin with a raggedy old tmnt blanket and it's homey.
Regarding shelves, it is a shame IKEA stopped manufacturing their media shelf from the early 00's. They were thin but they had perfect depth and had reasonably variable height adjustment.
Oh believe me, I'm well aware of how much it hurts. But at least it's accessible now. A year ago it was all in boxes. I plan on eventually moving that stuff out where it can be seen/safer, but it's a long process. -Kris
PlayStation games are at 13:08. Dreamcast games are at 23:39. I have a black Sega Sports Dreamcast console on the shelves at around 21:26. White Dreamcast is in the closet, as well as a handful of PS1 consoles. I have a PS2 hooked up right under the Dreamcast that I typically sue to play PSX games, but I do occasionally swap out out for a PS1 for that sweet startup screen.
It's not that old. I have ps3 4 5 and series x. A basement would be nice place to keep your games. I go to a place called the exchange. They have old consoles games and new consoles. Thats where I buy
I do! They've been a large part of why this has taken me so long to put together, as I didn't want them to grab anything they weren't supposed to when they were little. They're 5 and 9 now, so they know the rules of what they can and can't mess with. Of course, when they're a little older and have friends come over, that's when I'm going to have to figure out some sort of locking system. -Kris
You should be very proud of your games room/collection, awesome stuff 👏
You got amazing Grails there! Such a very cool room. I am in love with your Snes Collection! wow, just Wow!
Thanks! It's my favorite platform for sure.

That's very kind of you! Thank you very much!
Omg ! Games are everywhere !😮 Very big collection . Insane !
Every gamers motto, “Just in case.” Love the setup, Kris. Thanks for sharing!
Great!
Awesome game room, thanks for sharing! It makes me want to come over and play some games like we were neighbor kids!
Awesome game room and organization!
Thanks!
Awesome game room! Thank you for sharing!
Love it! I wish I had that much room to work with.
Thanks!
Excellent tour, excellent collection and just a great space for gaming/family stuff 👌
Thanks for sharing mate 👍
Thanks for the tour. That mechanical closet next to the water heater though😮😮😮
Love seeing collections as organized as this. Also you’ve got me wanting to collect Atari more
Thanks! And collecting Atari is always a good time. It's a heck of a lot less expensive than collecting Saturn!
room looks amazing! thanks for sharing!
Your company is awesome! I've purchased many products from your website. Please keep providing great products for reteo gamers.
That background of all your boxed retro games is just beautiful
Thanks!
Very nice! I'm interested in picking up some of that Ikea shelving that you showed. Thanks for the ideas!
You're very welcome!

Those are very good, too. I'm pretty sure I have some of the smaller ones to hold my Game Boy CIB stuff.
Great video and I love the game room!
Thanks!

Really awesome setup! So clean looking. Jealous of the bonus closet space.

Looking good man wish i had the space to display my stuff that way
Nice

Do you play Snes component on Wega ? Did you have the convenient cable for it ?
I have a Trinitron, and I have the HD Retrovision component cable for it. I honestly don't notice a big difference between that and composite for my SNES. Other platforms (like Genesis in particular) the component cables make a huge difference, or at the very least a noticeable one, but SNES only looks marginally better.

@@stoneagegamer I also have a PVM, there is a difference, less yellowed
DVD are perfect when connection bad 💡
What was the shelf name that was holding all your magazines?
Here's the link. It needs reinforcement for sure though because all those magazines exceed its listed weight limit.

Do you have a link for those stickers on the input switcher?
Here you go.

Where did you get your reproduction game boxes from?
The ones for games that never had boxes of that size like Mario/Duck Hunt and the small EarthBound box were from a site called Uncle Tusk, but it doesn't seem to exist anymore. The black box games I got from BoxMyGames.

How do you store your cd/dvd games to prevent disc rot. Thanks
Boy, I wish I had an answer to that. I try not to keep them anywhere with high humidity or heat, and my basement is weirdly the most consistent area in the house in terms of temp, and I run a dehumidifier in the summer, but outside of that I don't really have an answer.

What shelves do you use?
The shelves holding my games are ikea billy, the shelves holding my consoles are ikea kallax with glass shelf inserts (also ikea). The cube shelves holding my magazines are Target home essentials.
I have my very first Atari 2600 since I was 3 also.
I got rid of my water boiler tank. They last less than 10 years and cost about $3 grand. My water tank was on the attic and it was rusted and leaking. So I went tankless which is about $5 grand. It last from 25-30 years. I told the people to put it in the garage because I don't want it leaking in the attic. For one, its less space than the water boiler. So the next time you need to change the boiler, there are other new methods. Cleaning it is like cleaning a laundry washer. Very simple method.
I've heard about those and they seem like a great idea. Thanks for the info!
My understanding is that tankless has a much higher energy cost. See Technology Connections recent videos for details.
Tankless all the way. I have one and love It.

I've never seen those before, but they sound perfect. Bummer about them no longer existing for sure.

What is the sue if your tv?
*size
I believe it's a 32in. It weighs approximately 72 trillion lbs.
omg all that treasure in the utility closet! IT HURTS!
Oh believe me, I'm well aware of how much it hurts. But at least it's accessible now. A year ago it was all in boxes. I plan on eventually moving that stuff out where it can be seen/safer, but it's a long process.
-Kris
Late to the game on this one… but did your crt geometry or convergence get thrown off after that tv took a tumble?! Ouch!
Fortunately no! It still works like a charm. Thing's a beast!
That’s the old school x-men love that
I have those two same mega man and countless others from the same artist.
Where’s your Dreamcast & PS1 games & consoles?
PlayStation games are at 13:08. Dreamcast games are at 23:39. I have a black Sega Sports Dreamcast console on the shelves at around 21:26. White Dreamcast is in the closet, as well as a handful of PS1 consoles. I have a PS2 hooked up right under the Dreamcast that I typically sue to play PSX games, but I do occasionally swap out out for a PS1 for that sweet startup screen.
SHOOT ROCKS! THE REVENGE!
Foolish lol 🔥👍🏽😆
with the next consoles physical media will be gone so no more collections just collect the old stuff its much better because you own the media
It's not that old. I have ps3 4 5 and series x. A basement would be nice place to keep your games. I go to a place called the exchange. They have old consoles games and new consoles. Thats where I buy
Do you have any kids? I would. be so worried about children going through the vintage stuff! LOL
I do! They've been a large part of why this has taken me so long to put together, as I didn't want them to grab anything they weren't supposed to when they were little.
