Currently my game computer is hooked up to our TV in the family room and I use that to play all my games. I need to convince my wife to let me use our small linen closet to place a standup arcade cabinet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know the feeling, once Marquee-fever hit me I transformed an entire room for it, there is no way back for you now bro haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. RetroLust Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Ps convincing the wife, you have to make sure she'll get a wish fullfilled as well and it'll work out man, worked for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatts4Life Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Honestly once we find a new house with a basement it will be easier to build a home theater room and game spot. The wife gave me permission to do what I want with the basement if we ever find one. All she's asked for is a room for herself. Where we live now I just don't have the room for any kind of cabinet system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. RetroLust Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Update of the (finally finished) room where I play and work on all the projects, no more desk and office chair, been sitting on those for almost 20 years, time for something new. Tried to catch every detail, 20 photos should be enough It's more than a game room it's a bit of a time capsule of past century things I love. I do have to remove some dust though lol Well that's it all in all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatts4Life Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 What an awesome setup. I did some googling after seeing your marquee setup and found there is a way to get a custom lcd screen that is the size of an arcade marquee. But it costs a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man Yeah you do need quite a bit of cash if you're going custom/bar display marquee monitor. The monitor I use is quite cheap compared to those and the image quality is very good, still surprised by it's quality actually. I saw an article about the upcoming foldable oled screens, these can be rolled up, theoratically (excuse my english lol) if these can adjust themselfs to display only screens without black borders top or bottom by rolling down and move the display to the top then you'll be really able to size the screen to the marquee, not cheap either but interesting thought.

Mr. RetroLust Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 @Dan Found an english link to the future technology I mentioned before, in the further future when it'll be more more common and affordable this would be the perfect sizable marquee monitor: https://www.lg.com/global/lg-signature/oled-tv-r9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofrogg Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Nice technology.....but bit of an overkill for a marquee monitor ?? Though maybe something like that in the future, as you say! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatts4Life Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I take that back this just popped up on my YouTube feed and I need to find this screen. It’s perfect for a marquee. I’ve tried looking while on my phone and can’t figure out how much it is though. Marquee screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gustav Doré (the artist of the drawing) illustrated many books in the 19th century. I own an early 20th century print of Paradise Lost with Illustartion by Doré. awesome stuff.

Mr. RetroLust Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 New additions to the cave are a custom made Sega logo from pvc and the amazing Hori Rap Real Arcade Pro N Hayabusa with modded golden balltop lol.

saraglober Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) I’ve never seen a setup that looks this professional. Surely you spent quite some time and money. It’s a good thing you have enough space for all your gadgets. I’m new to gaming and I’m trying to build my own setup. I’m excited because I got a second monitor, but I’ve been looking for a larger desk and a chair. My old chair is too hard and my posture is not the best. I found a few chairs here https://eurekaergonomic.com/gaming-chairs/ but the site doesn’t have enough reviews, so I’m still searching. I’m looking on forums for personal experiences from gamers that know which chairs are better. Your chair looks great. Could you tell me where did you get it from?
