My Game room design

[Tech13]

So I have 2 designs to attempt, and I wanted to get your opinions.

The second one seems more efficient based on the locations of the doors, but it also depends on which door is the entrance and which is a closet.  If the top left door is the entrance, I would definitely go with option 2.  If the top left door is just a closet, than it wouldn't matter as much which option you go with. 

If it were me, I would be more interested in figuring out how the TVs and consoles will be presented on whatever type of tables or shelves you are using.

top lef it an entrance, bottom left is a bathroom, all the systems are going to be on grounded metal wire shelves with J-Channel or some other type of cable management system.  LCD is on an old tv table with enough room in the center for all the system selectors and pyle rack mount PDUs. The Big sony 36 inch Trinitron is going to be on its OEM stand with a 2 inch riser under the stand like you have.

Forgot to mention the Light Gun stand is for housing all my Light Guns in something that looks like a gun safe and a stand for a 32 inch Trinitron curved tv dedicated to light guns. where the cabinet is 39 inches off the floor. the perfect height for me with light gun games.

I would definitely go with the second option.

I can't believe my game room planning book is almost  20 pages now.

I'd go with 1 but switch arcade and lightgun if possible.

Option 2 looks good to me. Please provide update photos.

#1 for sure. The arcade cab is encroaching on the one shelving unit in the #2 configuration

My reasoning was that in #1 the arcade cab is encroaching on the entrance way.

The light gun setup is not really able to move because it needs cables from the game systems and the powered signal splitter.

Does "light gun" just mean CRT TV and you running a few of your consoles that have light gun games to that TV?

#2 , but i was thinking that maybe you can invert everything. (Sofa --- Tv and systems)

Not possible on that side, little power and no internet. Also the games and couch will not fit on that wall.

The couch is on a wall that is an outside so there is no room to add power or internet  because there is not enough space between the wood paneling and Brick that is the outside of the house.

yes and a custom gun cabinet for all the light guns. The systems will still be on the system setup with extended cables from a signal splitter to that TV.

Yeah, but there’s literally no access to that shelf in the corner of the cab is next to it.  Looks like maybe 8-10” of clearance between the two.
