Your Ideal Game Room
wartoy:
I have a huge game room that takes up 80% of the basement but I would like to access the other 20% eventually I would like to add a couch and take my arcades out of storage and have a small lounge area.

I pretty much need 2 things: Custom shelves and a gaming table.
While I have many media and other shelving units, I really want something truly designed to store all my books and games (both video and board). Even dedicated shelves for multimedia storage have problems with spacing, leaving that one row that's too short for a DVD sized case to fit in. Similarly, for my board games, I want something similar to the upcoming Box Throne, but more wood than metal.
As for the table, I host many board game nights, but the current furniture is showing it's age, and I want to go to the next level. A nice, long table that comfortably sits 6, with a recessed interior for the playing field, but a cover to easily convert back to a regular table. Then add cup holders and fold down drawers around the edges and put a groove in the top all around that functions as a card holder.

I can't complain about my current game room... I have a 32" LED that is perfect for the mini consoles such as the Nintendo ones and one huge Trinitron CRT TV with enough RGB and S-Video jacks to support all the 16 consoles that are currently connected to it and I can easily swap between them just by clicking a button.
In the living room, I have all my current/last gen consoles connected in a 52" 4K TV. And I there is still space to grow.
If I could ask for anything, it would be to have more space to store/display the boxes of the consoles and accessories and that my wife enjoyed games as much as I do, haha. Apart from that, no complains ^_^
(I'd love having space for an arcade cabinet though...)

Regarding a home arcade, I always envisioned this being separate from my gameroom. I thought it would be cool to transform my basement or part of it into an arcade, but the only problem is that I need a basement first. It would also be nice if it were a walk out basement since it would make the task of getting cabinets in and out of it a lot easier than lugging the machine inside and down some narrow stairs into the basement.

Better lighting
As you referred to, I really want to do the awesome lighting set up that will bascially make almost every section of my game room glow with glorious LED and i'll have different sets that can all go off with voice command with Alexa :).
Game Room #2 DLC Edition GOTY Edition
Outside of that I also am getting cluttered in my main game room, so I need to expand into making my attic climate controlled and carpeted with all new flooring and insulating and the sorts. Which will be brutally expensive but essentially transform my attic into yet another apartment which can be dedicated to soley the collection and making it bigger. Thus making my final game cave. It will be all my games and then some up there. It'll basically be the dream game cave. But that's in the works in a few years and with a lot of money ;D
A couch
I could really use a bed or couch but of course need to free up the space first. But right now my sole furniture in my game room is a computer chair and I lay down on a pillow and look up at the games and stuff :)
I hope everyone has a great day and succeeds in their game room goals.
