Awesome Games Room Tour 2023 ( Four rooms!) - Dad & Lads Gaming

If anyone else likes room tour videos as much I do, you should check out this video.
Multiple screen set ups in 2 rooms, CRTs (PVM and BVM) galore with Extron Crosspoint used too.
Both modern and retro are well covered throughout the tour.
There has been a number of changes in our Games Rooms over the last 2 years so here is an up to date video to reflect that.
I hope you all enjoy it.

[@wizballcommodore8466]

Truly amazing mate. Very rarely am i engaged for a whole game room tour. Those Extrons are game changers.

[@DadLadsGaming]

Thank you The Extrons are tremendous but obviously need a lot of cables ....worth it in the end though.

[@fistfulofgamepad]

I had the same Toshiba widescreen tv back in the day, was an awesome tv. Great video!

Thanks Bill.....I've always enjoyed the more technical side of game rooms👌

[@LegacyLoop]

Amazing setup mate, hang onto all those CRT's!

[@DadLadsGaming]

Definitely mate. Nothing beats a CRT in a games room.

[@retroimportgamer513]

Such a phenomenal setup of systems and screen options, there can't be a better one anywhere Just having smaller but quality game collections for all systems is definitely the best way to go I think I get the impression you're a 360 fan🤣 Awesome rooms👍✌️

[@DadLadsGaming]

Ha ha ha I do really like the 360. Thanks mate ,👍

[@show-me-retro]

Dang Marcus, two Astro city cabs?! Well done brother, so jelly👏

[@DadLadsGaming]

Thanks buddy....I'm over the moon with them👍

[@williamhamson]

I am fairly new to retro gaming in the modern world and my mind was completely blown by the Matrix Switcher at work. Wow. What a setup.

[@DadLadsGaming]

Thanks William.....it's certainly a cool bit of kit👍👍

[@mrbagitos]

Amazing setup mate. Loving the Extron switch units in the old server cabinets. Everything is ready to play at the flick of a switch. Great stuff. Retro Passion are great. He recapped my Amiga 600 and did a great job. I’ve recently fitted a Gotek drive like you’ve got in your Atari ST. Just makes it easier to play all of the games.

[@DadLadsGaming]

Thank you mate. I absolutely love tinkering with the set up....I'm always thinking of new stuff to do in there😂

[@ButtonBashers]

Some great times had in your game room mate! ❤

We need more buddy👍👍

Thank you Lee. Kind words and thanks for watching 👍👍

[@ayoitzfuzzlife7102]

Really nice setup, didn't understand half the technical talk but I know what I like.

[@DadLadsGaming]

😂😂I can be a boring twat sometimes. Cheers for watching 👍

[@MrTrickUK]

What a set up. LOVE how organised and neat everything is. #gameroomgoals.

[@DadLadsGaming]

Thanks mate👍🏻

[@CRTcade]

I've been greatly remiss, in terms of checking my subs feed, but am thoroughly enjoying watching this; whilst I'm icing me head after some hockey this afternoon, haha. You're top notch, next time I'm in Engaaaaland, I'll hit you up, mate.

[@DadLadsGaming]

That's a wonderful idea❤️

[@RetroRivals]

Your game rooms are complete goals. I love the organization and the minimalistic esthetics having everything tucked away, tidy wires, organization. We do pretty good but you make us look like amateurs. I'm loving having so many screens. We find it challenging to continue to find co-op games we haven't played yet but you've got the perfect set up to make that possible. Thanks so much for the great tour. Thoroughly enjoy it and seeing behind all the drawers and doors

[@DadLadsGaming]

Thank you for your kind words……your set up is unreal so I totally appreciate this from you. Co-op is just the best isn’t it👍🏻👍🏻 One thing I don’t have is a bar🍻🍻🍻

[@RetroRivals]

@@DadLadsGaming A bar is a must if you're playing retro. These games make me drink 😂

[@show-me-retro]

The organization an attention to detail is mind blowing 🤯 That switcher in the retro room with the bvm's... wow!

[@DadLadsGaming]

I've always loved planning these things out👍👍

[@thegreatjonzini]

Laserdisc yay🥂

[@DadLadsGaming]

I love that thing 👌

[@amigaoldskool]

Absolutely brilliant rooms Marcus, so much I could comment but would be writing a A4 essay. Just having all the systems on the go with a touch of a button on multi screens is breath taking. The mini systems is a very nice touch with space the sounds was perfect what I could hear with the subwoofer. Both rooms and the modern room are amazing was chatting to the wife watching would be nice to have all our DVDs and videos downstairs but just no room. Amazing Marcus totally love it well thought out and plained to perfection and yes Turrican 2 music still blows my mind.

[@DadLadsGaming]

Lovely comment mate, really appreciate it from you👌 Thanks for watching 👍

[@rollerxcore]

wATCHED THIS OVER A FEW GOES! GREAT INDEPTH TOUR! Lots of things to be jealous of.. but i think the main one for me is that Exterion switcher! i really think i need to get one, and figurre it out! Also the music room is something im guutted i missed out on when i visited! ill just have to come up again! ✌✌✌

[@DadLadsGaming]

You should absolutely visit again 👍👍 When you visit I'll bore you to death on the Extron switcher 😂😂 Cheers mate.

[@HyperTriggerEx]

Man alive that didn’t disappoint. I have to be honest I’m a little jealous of it lol. It just makes me think I need to just get cracking on my own setup. I really liked the multi screen set up in room 2. I really need to have a chat with you about how best to get all my retro not only on my PVM’s, but on my dual monitor setup on my PC desk as well as having them all set up to capture. I have an idea in my head as to how it should all work. I want to try and minimize the amount of HDMI boxes and splitters if I can. Loved the movie and music rooms foo. I know I’ve been selling my records recently, but all it’s done as well as giving me a gaming kitty is it’s made me want to rebuy some of them either on Vinyl or CD lol. Top stuff as always.

[@DadLadsGaming]

I'm glad you liked it Dylan. I know you like these kind of videos like myself. I'm always happy to help when I can mate 👍

[@Sinisteve]

Just awesome Marcus, nothing looks cramped, and loved the sound systems. I’m inviting myself round next time I’m up your way.

[@DadLadsGaming]

You are always welcome Steve. Thanks for watching mate.

[@PlanetPOW]

Awesome tour mate. Love it... Sorry I only jus found your channel!

[@DadLadsGaming]

Glad you enjoyed it mate👍👍👍

[@RetroEdUK]

Bloody amazing Marcus. I’m still in awe of the pvm’s. The set ups look great, and you’ve set everything up to be super practical. I’m even pining for a Gradius cupboard now 😂.

[@DadLadsGaming]

😂thanks Ed. Everyone needs a Gradius cupboard 👍

[@jbcollects1978]

Amazing mate - loving the sync and switch setups for the different displays. Cracking job.

[@DadLadsGaming]

Thanks bud. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment👍

[@nasrinakter3132]

Great room tour dude so thanks for sharing it❤❤❤

[@DadLadsGaming]

Thank you 👍👍

[@RETRORECLAIMER]

Will probably leave a few comments as I go through the video so that I don't forget. Easily the best UK game room(s) I've come across, that extron is amazing, how easily you switch between different screens per system etc. I imagine it takes some setting up, but brilliantly practical. Just amazed at the setup you have...you must have worked really hard to get it to this state 👍

[@RETRORECLAIMER]

My Toshiba is very similar to yours, the bottom of the screen itself looks slightly different, mine is rounded with speakers and a mini subwoofer, but I agree how great the Xbox 360 looked. I currently don't have that system set up due to lack of hd TV setup in the games room, but might be a solution to slot it in there

[@RETRORECLAIMER]

The wall of games, I play modern just as much if not more than retro, so I guess I'm just a gamer as opposed to retro gamer too. A lot of collectors do buy junk games, it's good to draw the line and only keep hold of the decent titles.

[@RETRORECLAIMER]

Movie/ modern gaming room is stunning. How busy is your house. Very impressive. Thank you for letting us all have a nosey. Really enjoyed that 👍

[@DadLadsGaming]

You are too kind with your comments. I really enjoy tinkering with technical things in the games room etc. I've always strived to have what I consider decent hardware along with a functional set up. I think the 360 is a great option for those Toshiba TVs btw👍👍 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@tootyuk]

Well deserved them rooms Marcus, youve put alot of time, effort and money into them to get them just how you want, and yes they are super tidy, nice clean lines!

[@DadLadsGaming]

Thanks Stu. I'd love to spend more on games but I really enjoy these games room upgrades. Unfortunately nowadays they tend to be expensive. Thanks for watching and commenting mate.

[@NotMoreGames]

Wow mate - there is superb and there is SUPERB!!! I think you have more Xbox 360’s set up than most people have rooms lol! The choices are immense mate - hope Tommy never has a house party as it would be a nightmare you have any jealous herbie do harm to your equipment. My favourite is the music room - put on a vinyl or cd, lay back and read a mag, with a beer - now that is heaven! Glad an Xbox 360 ain’t spawned in that room… lol! Thanks for sharing Marcus! You have worked extremely hard to produce those amazing set ups! 😊

[@DadLadsGaming]

Thank you Nick.....it's definitely been a labour of love👍 Are you surprised to hear that I have locks on both games room doors 😂😂rarely used but there just in case.

[@NotMoreGames]

@@DadLadsGaming Wise man - at least you can leave the house in his charge for a night or two knowing the most important rooms are safe. The other rooms have new stuff that although expensive can still be replaced - just make sure Tommy has the yellow pages number for “french polishers” lol 😂

[@DadLadsGaming]

😂😂😂😂

[@ClownFish316]

These have to be the cleanest and best organised game rooms I’ve ever seen especially on KZbin great stuff 👍🕹

[@DadLadsGaming]

Thanks for the kind comments 🙏 I've always made an effort and invested in things to make the rooms tidy etc👍👍

Was half expecting the door opening from resident evil

[@Retroram]

So men CAN feel 2 emotions at once......both jealous and aroused, not just because of the socks and slipper combo. Awesome rooms mate you should be very proud. I need a stand like that for my vectrex.

[@DadLadsGaming]

😂😂I love my slippers....I'm old don't forget 👍 You being aroused makes me aroused💦💦

[@RetroRewind77]

This has to be the most amazing set up I’ve ever seen and the technology used for switching between screens etc just wow. Love that movie room which is something I would love…. Best invite me round to watch a film 😜. Great room tour dude so thanks for sharing it 👊🏻

[@DadLadsGaming]

😂😂pop round whenever you like. We'll watch some movies and smash some red wine.

[@RetroRewind77]

@@DadLadsGaming sounds good to me…. Maybe not the red wine bit 😂

[@GenerationPixel]

I honestly don't think I've seen a better setup. Far too organised for me, but absolutely stunning 😍

[@DadLadsGaming]

Thanks Stew👌 I love tinkering in the games room👍👍

[@Canadian_Gamer]

Just finished watching this, I don't want to ask how long it took to put this together. Well done, looks clean. My favourite part was the movie room, that looks like a great place to watch some Kubrick. Hot tip: to eliminate CRT flicker when recording externally, check your phone settings and see if you have an option to record at 60FPS. That should fix it. I used to get bad flicker when I recorded my CRT at 30 hertz on my camcorder. I now record at 60 hertz, no more flicker!

[@DadLadsGaming]

The modern/movie room is a great space Cam👌 I can adjust that setting on my phone and camera.....I totally forgot tbh, schoolboy error🤦 It took a day to do the video....enjoyable actually 👍 Thanks for watching mate.

[@RawDeal248]

Awesome video, mate. My 2 main takeaways pricks don't send the vinyl, and real men wear slippers.

[@DadLadsGaming]

Legends wear slippers👌 Thanks for watching mate.

Amazing setup matey.. new subscriber to your channel today.. think I remember seeing you before when Danester did the lockdown videos 😎👍

[@DadLadsGaming]

Thanks mate, I really appreciate it. The Lockdown livestreams were great and we did appear on one of them👍👍

Looking forward to catching up on some of your vids matey.. I take it from your accent and reference to Boro you're a fellow North Easterner lol 😎👍

Yes mate👍👍

[@phile6889]

Hello from Australia. An absolute treat to see. Clean. Organised. Not filled with bloat. Congrats to you. Killer set up mate! Hows your power bill tho? 🤪

[@DadLadsGaming]

Ha ha ha power bill is ok. There's only really a lot of stuff switched at once when friends come round.....about once a month. I can live with that 😂 Thanks for watching👍

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

What exactly are the negative you're hinting at about the Toshiba 36zp18p? I'm looking for a CRT for a retro setup and someone local to me is selling one. So I'd like to know its pros and cons. Like why is 100Hz a bad thing?

[@DadLadsGaming]

Ultimately, I like the TV mainly for watching movies on. Light guns don't work on it if it's 100hz. It's just not as good as a 60hz set.

[@mcflyshaw]

The Yahama amp switching hdmi inputs is exactly what I've been looking for. What's the model of that?

[@DadLadsGaming]

It is the Yamaha RXV681 mate 👍👍

[@mcflyshaw]

@@DadLadsGaming Legend. Thanks. I'm in the process of trying to sort something out, might drop you a message as I'm beyond impressed with the multiple setups you have lol

[@DadLadsGaming]

No probs mate. Happy to help

[@jonnyharket]

Class mate. Never fails to impress? So what's the end goal?

[@DadLadsGaming]

No idea😂

[@matti3658]

what size are your movie posters?

[@DadLadsGaming]

The movie posters in the living room? If that's what you mean they are A2 size so...420 x 594 mm or 16.5 x 23.4 inches👍
