Earlier today we posted this vault recreation, made at an EB store in Mackay. I thought that was pretty cool.
But Gamesmen, one of the last remaining independent games stores in Australia, absolutely trumped them.
And in a strange way, that makes me super happy. The story of the Gamesmen store is a tragic one, but it’s also a story about maintaining against difficult odds.
Also, ridiculous props like this is, in its own way, a large part of the history of the Gamesmen. The original owner Angelo Cusumano was known for the incredible displays he put up in the Gamesmen store, and this Fallout 4 display is simply following in those footsteps.
It looks incredible. Well done guys!

Does it close?
Step inside and let’s find out, 😛
All you’re doing it trapping me in a building full of games.
*Turns out I thought of that and filled the store with copies of Daikatana.*
John Romero is going to make you his bitch.
and fat stinky sweaty nerds.
I should buy from them a bit more. I remember avidly browsing their catalogues in the days before internet (I’m old).
Same. A mate still has a fair few of their catalogues in his archives and are still a good read when you want to go nostalgic. 🙂
What really bothers me about these is the vault numbers are orientated wrong if the door has rolled open only that short distance.
I am glad I was not the only one that had this thought straight up. It is annoying the hell outta me.
The Vault doors don’t roll.
Then why does it look like a cog?
They do roll, I included some links just below. The orientation of the vault number bugged me too.
Not sure if I missed a joke there but they do roll.

exactly and in the fallout 3 video you posted you can see how much they roll and so the numbers orientation is wrong
If the vault door is driven by a sprocket or chain, it could make many revolutions travelling that distance.
Could be a very fine thread or seeing as they run off a chain and sprocket set this is easily achievable.
at that cog size though?
It’s vault #3, the vertical line has aged poorly.
Problem solved.
They should have gone with Vault 491.. they’re at 491 Forest Rd Penshurst.. would have made more sense to me 🙂
I wish I’d bought from them, now. I bought two 3DS and 3DSXLs and a bunch of games for them there. But other than that, I haven’t been in a long time.
I still remember the smashed wall they had for Street Fighter 2.
I always mean to go there too, but then either laziness or Target/Big W’s undercutting ends up winning out.
They were my closest store back in the day growing up…. But I’ve moved closer to the city.
Bought a fair bit. Used to just get in the car when money was burning my wallet and get whatever.
Digital (steam) and JB have kinda taken me over.
Was a shame when their store closed near me. I still buy online from them though.
