Game Rooms

[Switchstance]

I open this thread to post and see the places where the magic happens. Where do you play, your game-room, with your consoles and games. I want to see cool pics, tonight I'm uploading mines.

For notice it's something like this :

That can imply something inappropriate.

I don't have any pictures of my room; mainly because I can't scan my room.

I don't have most of my stuff plugged in at the moment, so unfortunately I can't show it off here.
I have a photo from some years ago, but I'd have to find and scan that one first...

I'm looking foward to see you guys' setups, though.

Cool photo, Switchstance. I'll go with sepia...



Now, I moved into my parents home from DC about five months ago, and never unpacked -- still trying to get a good job and leave. So, no gameroom for me. It's a gamebanco, I guess. Eggerland on the screen.

Here is mine! I took this one when I was starting a session of Contra.

It appears I didn't take a picture of the gaming rig in my old apartment 

This is all I could find:

Contrasession! That sounds like a word.

I want a TV table like that FamicomFreak. I need one badly. Mine it's a cheap table. :/
Messy room in the second pic, so cool.
And JC cool having a window to get some sun-light. I don't have one

Yeah the table thing helps keep everything organized but in the end I always have wires popping out from one place.

One suggestion is to keep the TV facing away from the window so you don't get glare (or have closed blinds like me ).

thanks but man it's so hard to do that when you live in Florida the sunshine state

Yeah, but sunlight = yellow Famicom. I have to keep mine covered, with a shirt. I don't have one of those fancy smancy covers like featherpluck. I can't wait till I get a place of my own, so I can have everything set up properly. It's so hard to use the Disk System in this condition, especially 'cause my Disk System is being a bitch.

That's the downside to all this stuff -- the cords. You've got the Famicom controller cords, the Famicom AC cord, the AV cords (or RF), the Disk System RAM cord, the Disk System AC cord, the power converter cord, the TV power cord, and in my case, the cord for the power bar.

How much sun needs to get yellowed ?
Sounds paranoic to me hide from the sun all the time. I think yellowed stuff comes with years and years. At least my snes never get yellowed and I never hide from a window. I see tons of SNES yellowed, but depends of the spot where you deposit your console.

This is from an excellent article on SNES yellowing found at
http://www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archives/189:

In the case of the SNES plastic, however, the trigger of the oxidation process is clearly not UV light, but simple and unavoidable exposure oxygen in the air over time, with heat possibly accelerating the process. Once the process is triggered, its effects cascade in a recursive cycle -- as in the UV example above -- eventually changing the physical nature of the plastic and its color. Visual proof that exposure to air is causing the SNES discoloration can be seen in the picture below:

I don't know if the same can be applied to the Famicom (though I assume it could).  Either it's doomed to be yellow or it's not -- not much you can really do about it
