A ton of games, for sure. But the environment and equipment could be much better; controlled lighting, bigger screen, surround sound... I don't see the point of spending so much money on games if you're gonna play them in such a sub-optimal environment.

Not that my setup is any better in any way, I'm too poor to afford it. But with that kind of money to throw around, a more theater-like setting would probably be a higher priority to me than a large library of games.

I see at least three generations of Gameboys, a Gamecube, a Wii, a Dreamcast, a PS2, SegaCD games (The genesis/Sega CD MIGHT be that thing behind the Mario Kart Wii wheel and possibly a third-party one right below it), imported games, Sega games, super nintendo accessories but no SNES, R-Type Dimensions which means a XB360 is hiding off camera. That's......59 pts out of 100 (maybe 62) on my scale of I want to be in that room and never leave. Among the missing points include, DS/3DS, PSP, PS3 (blu-ray player if not), N64, and an awesome gaming PC.
Don't get me wrong, that's a pretty darn high number! I've never had more than a Wii, PS2, PS3, 3DS and PSP in the same room at the same time. All but the PS2 keep moving around.

Aside from the games i was looking at that going "But... my PC does all that, and makes it look better!" haha

Cept PS3/360, no PC can do that

and makes it look better!

Sharper, for sure. But better? Sometimes, old games rely on the limitations of their systems and the TVs of the time for their visuals. A little blur can mean a lot of perceived detail that isn't actually drawn.

But there's nothing like a game of pong in HD on a 201" screen!
Oh, the detail . . .

Some emulators have mock NTSC/PAL style filters. of course correct me if i'm wrong, But playing the same game on a flat panel TV, you'd get the same effect as if you were on an emulator and monitor? presuming the emulator emulates with accuracy of course.
