Mind Master Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 I'd like to hear some descriptions of the "Atari Retreats" that people have created in their homes - areas (usually in the basement) reserved for classic videogaming, and preferably emphasizing the 2600. Can anybody post a link to a photo of their Atari shrine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mock Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 My place is a mess right now because I have started digging things out again...when I get it set up I'll throw out a few pics...I have a couple of 2600 systems, an NES, 2 Genesis systems, Coleco Adam, 2 computers, drums and guitar stuff...all in one 20x14 size room downstairs. Lots of work to do...will be adding more stuff. Next additions will be: 1- Apple iie 1- Atari 5200 1- Atari 7800 would like to have a small desk or stand set up for each one...not that far yet.

Brad2600 Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 I have a small apartment and somehow I've managed to fit all my games in my bedroom which is about 3 times smaller than the living room. I just put up 2 milk crates on the wall yesterday to hold NES and Genny games and I have a media shelf that holds most of my 2600 games. I have a wire wine rack that holds 7 systems and all the connections so I can just plug and play whatever I like. I can do this with all systems except for the NES. I'll have to get pictures sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

video game addict Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 my "retreat" is a MESS!! It seems to stay that way too! I'm always changing up and pulling stuff out that only adds to my messiness. Here's a picture of my nearly completed 5200 collection, and most of my 2600 and 7800 games: http://www.atariaddict.com/pics/room1.jpg I also have about 75 8-bit carts on the floor in front of that shelf, but they don't display well. I have a few more shots of my room here, including my new 36" Sony Wega, all ready for some MvsC2 luvin! http://www.atariaddict.com/pics/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulag picture radio Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 So, does everyone tell you that the joystick coffee table is simply brilliant? Since I moved into a new place, I'm not so into displaying my stuff. I keep small representative collections of things around, and if enyone wants to play it's a matter of a few moments to get everything ready. I have also recently secreted my DVD's, because I don't like the look of them for some reason - maybe because the spines are shiny... hell knows what goes on in my mind.

Cassidy Nolen Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 http://www.geocities.com/cassmandoo/basement.html I have a fella doing a "real" website for me now, but at least it gives you the idea. I hide as frequently as I can down there. Non-Atari stuff, too, but still my getaway Cassidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
