Game Room

DIY ROM Arcade Game Room

Ever since I was a little kid I always wanted a room devoted entirely to gaming. I used to look at some of the pictures other kids submitted to Nintendo Power with some of awesome setups they had and get so jealous. My game area consisted of an NES console hooked up to the same TV the family used to watch all their favorite shows (As I’m sure many other peoples did too). Because of this there was always that battle for who got to use the TV and more often than not the adults won.

Well here I am almost twenty years later and the obsession of having my own “Game Room” stills haunts me to this day. So I decided once I moved into my new house that I would design the game room I have wanted for all these years.

I am documenting the conception and evolution of the game room here for my own benefit, and also for anyone who has wanted their own game room but has never had the opportunity to see it through. Feel free to checkout my game room diary for updates on the game room and its progress.
